>my goto is actually the Samsung AKG pack in earbuds Me too! They are falling apart at this point, 3 or 4 years later, but wow. They have so many nice little features like a cloth braided cable that helps keep them from knotting themselves, and very comfy ear pieces. And of course they sound great, and because they are cheap (~$15) I never worry about losing them. AKG found some sort of global minima of price/performance, and it's cool Samsung recognized that. I will admit, though, that not having a wire is really nice, it's just all the trade-offs are awful. In particular the cost is high AND the likelihood to lose a component of them is very high (for me). Plus the rigamarole around keeping them charged and getting them paired...to all that I say "bah humbug!"
