I have a Shuffle for a beat-up player. You can get them cheap if you or someone you know uses a Discover card and has cash back bonus to redeem. You can double the value on Sharper Image gift cards and essentially buy an ipod for half price. For about $60, you can't beat the sound quality...

So what did you think of the foam tips that they came with? Did you give them a good listen at all? Thanks for the very thorough and objective review.

Hey everyone, This is my first post. I'm looking for a set of canalphones to use with an iPod while running. My biggest concern is that I sweat insane amounts when I'm running and I've gone through many random noname headphones that way so I'd need these to be so cheap they're almost...
