General use earbud with microphone, also for use running.
Dog ate my better half's iBuds (finally!) so she's in need of a replacement. She was generally happy with them; but looking for replacement recommendations. Source would be her Nexus 5 or thinkpad. I'd feel dirty telling her to just buy another iBud without due diligence.- worminater
