I only know of the Koss and the Audio Technica ATH-EW9, are there any more, and if you know more, could you rank them? Thanks so much, I need some beach headphones, full-size scares the chicks away.

If you're trying to attract the ladies, I for one probably wouldn't go with the KSC75s. I hate how they look, but love how they sound.

Speaking of Koss, the KSC35 would be a nice choice. It actually looks pretty decent, but they're pretty hard to find nowadays.

Audio Technica make a few stylish (at least more stylish than the KSC75...) clip ons. You mentioned the EW9, that's one. There's the EM7, EM700 and EM9. Apparently, the main issue with them is that they all seem to lack bass (bass boost apparently helps). I myself would like to get some opinions on these ATs - I think I'd like to give the EM700 a try one day.

Aside from Koss and AT, I'm not too sure if there are any other worthwhile clip-ons out there...

Well the Audio Technica's really look good, always a nice conversation starter.

I have a corda 3move, will that be sufficient? Also I can find little information about them, nor where they are sold.

More than sufficient. In fact, 3MOVE has great synergy with G1.

I have always liked clip-ons for situations where quick on/off is necessary. I love my Audio-Technica ATH-EW9's. The quality is relatively good. I wouldn't buy clip-ons if sound quality is your primary concern. If convenience is a primary concern, and you want good sound quality in addition, then I would highly recommend the Audio-Technica ATH-EW9's. The only other pair of clip-ons that I have tried were some Sonys several years back. (I don't remember the model number) They didn't even come close to the Audio-Technica ATH-EW9's.

Gotta love the look of the EW9s. What type of cable do they have, Y or L (around the neck)? May I also ask the same question about the Yuin G1s? I like clip ons for running - The KSC75s sound great, but I wish they'd have the more "sporty" around the neck cable... less wire to get distracted by.

I disagree. I think women like people that are different and stand out, not the average dull guy. Of course, if you feel negative about yourself wearing big phones on the beach, then they'll pick up on that; however, if you wear them win confidence and style, that'll play in your favor.

I like forsberg's idea, though, matching skullcandies with your trunks. I'm pretty sure most women WILL notice that.
