"What gets me, is that there a reason why the earbud used by Apple is NOT meant to be inserted so into the ear canal .. it's so YOU WON'T GO DEAF!"

You can always pick out an Apple fanboy by their use of lies. Listen bucko, Apple itself sells the in-ear type (canalphones, IEMs) for forty bucks to people who want good sound. I suggest buying a pair and shoving them because you obviously can't appreciate good sound.

The earphones Apple includes are cheap and will cause hearing loss, whereas good canalphones allow you to turn the music down because they're not fighting to be heard at the same time as the rest of the world.

I would also go with a 3.5mm adapter and retain the ability to fit different earphones on it, but that would be ugly. This is a very neat and clean mod.
