I use inexpensive earbuds at work to listen to podcasts. (I have a set of
Beats earbuds -- bought during Black Friday for $50 -- that I use for other times.)
Personally, I like the
Skullcandy Ink'd earbuds, but my current favorite are by
Sony. I have a hard time finding earbuds that are comfortable to wear for a long time, and these are two that I replaced because I misplaced them, not because they broke or didn't sound good.
I've tried a couple of bluetooth ones, but have been unhappy with my experiences, so I don't have a recommendation there.
