On that note, there seems to be an explosion of "open-ear earbuds" going on right now - just between October and November, the amount of designs on Amazon seems to have doubled. These sit on your ear instead of inside it, and are a ton more comfortable. I couldn't stand normal earbuds and have been sticking to wraparounds, but these open-ear designs work for me.
