For some reason the apple earbuds really hurt my ear when I leave them in for about 5 minutes. Also, the only way for my ears to hear any bass from them is to hold them tightly to my ear

same here, i just can't stand them.

What happens when you plug these modified earphones into another device, ie. Sony PSP, a normal iPod? Does the fact it's got 3 rings on the jack-plug (ie. for the mic) affect anything with non-iPhones?!
 
nope, they work like normal

Cool, thanks.

I just got some Future Sonics Atrio M5s, which are amazing. But, I don't think I'll be able to do this with them, as they don't look to be able to be dismantled?! :-

looks like they would come apart around the blue ring. you'd have to feed the wire through that clear tube.

those other headphones on amazon look decent, and not a bad price. i wonder how they sound.
 
The amazon ones do seem cool, but I like the smaller mic/button on the apple cord. I'm sure someone will come out with something better eventually. Everybody and their mothers will be making iphone accessories.

I agree too. I'm sure they are working overtime to correct this as they now have 1million+ users with crappy headphones that need replacing :p
 
I really like the Apple in-ear headphones which i use on my iPod, i hope they come out with iPhone specific ones with a mic and click button.
 
Oh, I totally missed this thread and started another to ask about any 3rd party (or in-the-works apple) headphones.

I hate earbuds. :( No matter what brand, they always hurt my delicate little ears.
