I hate them because their bad sound kills good music and I can't understand why people use them.

I love 'em!

To be fair, the newer ones are based on the old Sennheiser MX500, but - yes, the older ones... ugh!!

Yer joking, right? The old slowly yellowing ones are timeless!

I think iBuds get unfairly bashed, specially by people who think that spending a lot of money on earphones/ headphones, amps, & cables is the only way to get good sound. I never got great sound out of the iBuds because of their design. However, when I pushed them in (but had to keep my hands keeping them in place) they actually sounded pretty good, at least the ones that came with the iPhone 3, Classic 2007 & 2009 and 4G & 5G Nanos.
 
Of course they don't sound like most of the phones listed in my sig, which are VERY expensive, but they're not as bad as people in these forums often make them out to be.
 
You often get a similar reaction when people compare customs to universal IEMs, when the truth of the matter is that some universals can sound as good, if not better, than some customs out there.

The old ones were, the old ones are, and the old ones shall be.

Once I figured this out they did sound a lot better. I didn't need to hold them there either. That was like the first thing I learned on this website. Not long after that I bought the SE 530s though lol.

Ya, why hate them. Everyone has them, so you know you are cool when you have a pair

My first post - I'd like them if they would have fit in my weirdly shaped ears. But that goes for any earbuds. I have to use IEMs or canalphones.
 
Kind regards

Why are there so many of these kinds of threads? It's largely just ignorance, and for most people, ignorance is bliss. If they're happy, then they're happy. I was perfectly content with using $10 sony cheapos for years. It was only until my sonys broke and I upgraded to $15 koss cheapos that a hidden longing for great sound was ignited within me. Not everyone is like this too. I'm sure many people here have let others listen to their outstanding head-fi, and although those people may have been thoroughly impressed, they were still happy afterwards still using their iBuds.
