If you are tired of the styling of traditional earbuds and would like to mix it up, there are a bunch of wooden versions available. Wooden electronics bring back the old styling of the past and harken from a time when electronics weren't changing so rapidly. Old clock radios and record players were often made out of oak and cherry and this conveyed a more durable good.

While I doubt adding wood will improve the durability much, these wooden earbuds do carry a more timeless look than the traditional variety. One possible benefit is that being made to look like a product that lasts longer might subconciously make you keep better care of it. Here are some reviews of the more popular wooden earbuds around:
