I am looking for a earbud (not IEM) to use with a Ipod Nano unamped. Sound quaility is most inportant but I need something that will not fall out of my ears when walking. Any suggestions........Thanks

PK2 should be a good choice.

Yeah, Yuin PK2 is probably the best earbud you can get without wanting an amp.

The AKG K14P (or K314P, they're apparently the same) are nice earbuds for around $20 or so. Better than the stock iBuds, they're a lot clearer and fuller-sounding. Bass is a bit lean, but the Radio Shack foam earpads (thicker than the stock ones) improve the bass quite a bit.

There's a review that the ATH-C700 is better than the PK2s, and like all ATHs they're low impedance.

I was personally underwhelmed by the PK2s for the lack of bass and a thin soundstage, maybe masked by its airy character.

I am with Assorted on this. I like the SQ of PK1 (amped) and PK3 (unamped/cheap), but not PK2. Its sound doesn't fit my taste at all. I'll recommend ATH-CM700 as well.

PK2 un-amped and PK1 amped!! No doubt!!
