I have an iPhone 5 and find the new EarPods extremely painful. On the other hand, I loved the iPhone 4/4S earbuds. The sound wasn't great, but I could wear them for hours comfortably. Apple stopped making/selling them, and I'm having trouble finding any for sale that I'm confident aren't cheap knockoffs.
So with that in mind, does anyone know of a decent alternative? I really dislike in-ears, and it looks like the entire earbud market moved to be very in-ear-like. Take for example the Klipsch S4i, which are very highly rated. Even though they're not in-ears, they work similarly and are painful for me to wear. I can't find anything decent that resembles the old 4/4S design.
Any ideas? Ideally I'm looking for something with at least the remote button/mic.
