Solving the iPod shuffle 3G headphone issue

So as I mentioned in a previous post, there's a huge problem running with my new iPod shuffle 3G: You have to use their headphones because the controls for the device are on them.

Unfortunately that means the earbud always falls out of my left ear.

I've already ordered a free iPod Nano but that will take a few months to arrive.

Meanwhile, I've researched some options. A blog on the Chicago Tribune lists some pretty good options, including add-ons to the earbuds.

But in the end, after reading a discussion on the Apple forum, I've opted to get an adapter that plugs into the iPod and lets you use the headphones of your choosing.

So we'll see what happens!
