After getting through quite a few pairs of in-ear type earphones, I decided to buy this pair of on-ear ones, because I thought they'd be less likely to break and sound better.

It is fairly heavy and a little difficult to hold in one hand, but the screen is too big to use one handed anyway. This device is primarily meant to be used in landscape unlike the iPad, as the… Read more
