Does anyone know if these will plug directly into the first gen iPhone, or would you need to use an adapter?

I really don't like the 110's at all. They were not a step up from the slightly cheaper e2c's that I owned prior, and even after letting them settle in, I still couldn't get into them. I then moved up to the SE210's, and I don't suppose I'd go back unless these can actually deliver.

@b3n: You probably shouldn't. Shures create a good tight seal in your ear canal, so as you run, the throbbing from your increasing heart rate will become more apparent, as well as the dull thud and muffle with every step. You're better off with sport phones.

If that doesn't bother you much, then go ahead. They definitely won't fall out of your ears.

@Kaiser-Machead: Also you can't hear cars and trains coming. Seriously it isn't a good idea to use noise canceling buds when you run.

I wish I could afford 'em, but I'm really happy with these new Sony's I just picked up.

They've even edged out my former favorite Sony buds that had the wind-up case included.

They just have the right balance of decent sound (for me) and super-replace-ability that allows me to enjoy them without having to be anal about the treatment of my super expensive earbuds.

I love seeing people buy earphones like these and then I find out they have all their music in 128 or 96 kbps...

@closhedbb: I don't know how many people buy phones like these, and keep their music in lower bit rates. I have a good amount of 128 and 320 kbps, and I don't suppose I'd ever go with anything less than my current set. Even at 128, I can hear the difference between certain earbuds. The SE210's suit me so much more.

In about three years this is going to look like a car phone from 1994.
