XP - Oh god yes, they drive me nuts, it's the rubberised quality to the leads and the L-shaped construction, if they had linguine shaped cable they'd be miles better, never had a problem with the fitting.

I live and die for open headphones so noise cancelling headphones are a definite no from me.

Thinking of getting Bluetooth HPs or IEMs for watching TV (and not disturbing the family). Tips welcome

speaking of cheap china earplugs : as mentioned on ILE, a friend got me these open headphones for my birthday.
i have no idea how they match up with name brands, but for me they sound bloody brilliant.
