Excellent roundup of earphones from those masters of all-things-geek over at ExtremeTech. They compare Etymotic Research's ER-6, Shure E3c and E4c, Ultimate Ears' super.fi 5EB and 5Pro as well as the useless Koss Plug against the stock ear buds from Apple, Sony and the like.
This review is a good read if you're in the market or would like to be in the market. The usual suspects clean up - Shure, namely. Overall, pitching the buds that came with your portable device is a must if you want to hear your music properly. Additionally, the review did a nice job of comparing the comfort levels which, of course, vary depending on the size and shape of your own wax-laden canals.
