The Premium Headphones that come with the Zune 80. I have two sets, but I let my cousin use my old pair because the cable design is messed up.

me too.  intercourse  I hate earbuds.  they're always falling out because they don't fit my ears. :\

I didn't need anything with a huge amount of space anyways.  I have an 8G and it's not even a quarter full (though I'm currently getting the chemical brothers discography, so that will change pretty quickly).

I have these Bose earbuds:

I love Bose as a company because they make such great products and have such great customer service.  Once you buy something from them, they keep you interested in their products while sending you a bunch of free accessories for your headphones that you may or may not need.

I don't like the interface. And I find the click wheel annoying to use to be honest.

you turn off the clicking noise then.

it's incredibly easy to use.  there's nothing wrong with ipods, except for the facts that they are overcommercialized and overpriced.

I don't mind the noise, its somewhat useful. I don't like the idea of going in a circle to go up or down.

Would you rather have buttons that stick and are annoying?

Wheel-based scrolling is faster because you can go as fast or slow as you want through a list.

I can understand that.  but at the same time, having a motion sensor bar doesn't really make sense in my mind either.  you would have to take your thumb off every time you went down X places on the list.  with the ipod way, you just keep circling your thumb.

but yes, that is definitely annoying sometimes.  it's not very precise.

None of the buttons on the Zune stick out. Not even on the 30. I like the Zune pad way more than the click wheel.

And, games are a lot easier on it, but I only play tetris, lol.

I love them. <33

Bose headphones are amazing with noise reduction, i would get the ones with the band thgat goes over your head, also  a zune is alot nicer than an ipod, you can get an 8 gig zune player with video, radio and an input for an Sd card for the same price as a 2 gig ip[od with no video
