Zen Earphones?

[Jakets]

Ive been using these Nike-Philips earphones, and i was pretty happy till today. I was bored and looking through my stuff, lone behold i come across the earphones for the ZEN Touch i bought. I decided to try them on since i never had and see how crappy they were. I was amazed... they handle bass so much better and overall sound alot better. Now i think they are ugly as sin, and they have the damn behind the neck (one side is shorter than the other style) and i HATE it. Ive seen these:

From the zen micro i belive. What i want to know is, are they as good or better than the ones that come with the zen? and if they are, do they have the behind the neck style, or just regular ( please let it be regular! ). Also anyone know where i can pick up a pair without having to buy a zen micro

Thanks ahead of time, and this is my first post here, so go me! (found this site looking at zen micros stuffed in altoid tins, damn cool.)

Hi.
I believe that those earbuds are exclusive to Zen Micros.
They are regular, and sound very good for a bundled earbuds. (In fact better than MX400 in my taste)
I think you can get them from Creative, or maybe try talking to Harvey from Creative at Nomadness

Thanks, also do you know if they have the behind the neck cord style on these?

And are these them? HERE

Wish they had them in the white.

EDIT- nope.. those are expensive, as well as not sold in america off the creative site.. Hmm, there has to be SOMEWHERE i can get a pair.

Nope, those aren't them. But the zen micro buds are not the uneven cord, behind the back style. They are just your regular buds. My only problem with them was that they were too big for my ears. I have normal size ears too.

Exactly what I was thinking. Looks exactly like the CM3s.

Creative earbuds are always far too big though and never stay in. Not too shabby SQ though.

You should try ebay or call creative about it. I'm sure they have "replacement" pairs.

Maybe someone on these forums who owns a micro doesn't even use the earbuds anymore.. they may sell them.
