I need new ear buds and am looking for recommendations. I have two requirements--I want the on-ear type, not the in-ear ones; and I want a right-angle plug.

I've tried in-ear, and no matter what tip I try, they don't seem to fit right. I had been using Skullcandy S3FXFM033 ear buds, which I loved, but, as always happens, the wires have come loose from the straight-in jack.

It's easy enough to see from the pictures at Amazon which are the in-ear and which are the on-ear type, but they don't always show or mention the plug, so the pickings seem kind of slim. I'm looking at Sennheiser MX365 and Philips SHE2100. Has anyone tried either of these, or have other recommendations that would fit my criteria?

I don't know that I'd want to spend more than $15. Thanks.
