Should I choose earbuds or over-the-ear headphones for my iPod?

Earbuds are lightweight and portable, whereas over-the-ear headphones offer noise-canceling properties and comfort.

What are the benefits of ear-hook headphones?

The hook fits over the ear to keep the in-ear headset in place, which is ideal for people who are constantly moving like runners and cyclists. The wire is also around the back of the neck for convenience.

What are the advantages of headphones with a remote and mic?

Remotes enable you to change the volume and track without bringing out your iPod, and the mic allows hands-free calls from your phone.
