So I loved the 2-in-1 from Seidio. I'm a big audible.com listener, and on my walks to/fro work, I like to hear a good book. If I get a call in the process, I simply switch over to phone mode and talk.
Here are two problems though
1. The Seidio ear pieces don't fit well in my ear, even with the wraparound attachments. There's too much space between the speakers and my ear, so if a loud bus or something goes by, I can't hear. I also live in Boston, and the subway is HORRIBLY loud, so it means I can't hear books while commuting, which is dumb.
2. The lapel clip is entirely TOO fragile. My clip snapped off, and now I can't clip the mic to a good spot on my shirt/jacket. It hangs and usually with the mic against my chest. No good.
Problem number one is HUGE. Unfortunately, I can't just leave Boston, so I'll have to deal with the T. I have found something that works a lot better for listening. Radio Shack has a $20 pair of in-ear headphones which works great

Unfortunately, I can't use it as a 2-in-1 cause there's no integrated mic.
Here are my challenges/questions/suggestions:
A) Ultimately, I'd love the Seidio integrated system with earpieces like those ofthe radio shack model. Any chance I can strip the wire and attach the Radio Shack ear pieces to the Seidio?
b) Are there any other 2-in-1 solutions besides the Seidio? I've really grown fond of book listening and phone chatting without swapping wires.
thx
