Asymmetrical phone earbuds with mic/controls?

BopNiblets

Hi guys, thought I'd pop in here and ask this:

This is my current pair of earphones and looking to get something a bit better!
It's a horrible bastardisation of two different pairs of phone earphones stuck together, Samsung Jet cable (with mic, volume control, play/answer button) and asymmetric Sony Ericsson HPM-70s earbuds:


I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S Android phone so I'd like to have the headset features (answer/play-pause music button).
And I like the asymmetric designed ones and possibly different sized earbud covers.

I was looking in the Apple store (I like their smaller 3.5mm jacks) but they all seem to be symmetric cables.
If anyone knows any good ones (not too expensive), speak up! Thanks.

What do you like about the j-cord?

If you have to take the buds out (or if they fall out somehow) they don't fall on the ground, they just dangle on your chest because it's around the back of your neck!

J-corded earphones are scarce enough without the additional qualifier of an in-line microphone... you may have to do with a shirt clip. Personally I use earphones with over-ear cabling so they can just hang off my ear even when not inserted. Not the most stylish arrangement I'm sure, but highly convenient.

These ones look decent, but I'm not sure if they have the microphone

They don't have a microphone and they don't perform very well either.
