earphones

I basically dislike 'earbuds'. Is it possible to buy proper over-the-ear headphones, with mic built in, for the Ipod touch? (so I can use skype)

If you don't mind a slightly clunky solution, you can use the Monster iSoniTalk to add a mic to a set of headphones:

$15 at Best Buy and you can plug in any set of headphones that would have otherwise worked with the iPod. I've got one and I love it. It apparently sounds better than the more expensive solutions from Griffin and Shure, too.
