In reply to:
I hate earbuds too, they make my ears very sore after a while and just arent comfortable at all.
They just don't fit in my ears. If I have to do any quick field audio I usually either grab the pair of Sennheisers out of the kit bag (which float to the top of the bag when you don't want them, and to the bottom when you do or there's something heavy in the bag that's likely to crush them), not sure of the model - accidentally walked out of one of the local venues with them on my neck and never brought them back or I snag bro's folding 16-ohm Sonys out of his pouch.
Both are good enough for a quick monitor of wild audio but I wouldn't mix a CD with them as reference.
And I stand corrected on the spelling of tragus.
