I've been trying to find some earbuds for the 3G shuffle, similar to these:

http://www.amazon.com/Scosche-HP150M-Isolation-Earphones-Technology/dp/B002AJ3JSO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1257897011&sr=8-2

But with no luck.

Has anyone bought similar earbuds in Korea, on or offline?

Thanks, but what I want to know is if there is a pair of earbuds that I can buy that will control the ipod shuffle. Cool

Have you tried the apple stores? There are shops in Busan called Frisbee that are basically just Apple stores that you would find in your home country. They sell all things Apple and would no doubt have what you are looking for. There should be something similar in Seoul.

Looks like there is only the Apple banded one at the online store.

This place: http://www.earphoneshop.co.kr/ might have what you're looking for.

Edit: Gmarket has the ones you listed above with a ridiculous markup. Link

Those aren't the same ones--those don't have a remote control to skip songs. But you are right, that's one hell of a mark-up. Only $19.69 on Amazon.com.

Think I'll get em shipped over!

When you say "shipped over" do you mean have a friend/family buy them and ship them to you or have them internationally shipped to you from the online store? If the latter, where can I get some earbuds with the button that pauses/skips track online that ships to Korea?

These are the ones I'm referring to:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B002AJ3JSO/ref=dp_olp_new_map?ie=UTF8&qid=1257897011&sr=8-2&condition=new

I don't think Amazon would ship these to Korea. Sad
