I know it’s not that exciting, but one of our people caught a glimpse of the Zune 2 headphones this weekend and they’re pretty damn cool. It’s a mashup between the current premium headphones and the V Moda buds you see up top. What sets these apart from the current batch and even the Apple buds is that the Zune team has done away with the obnoxious plastic cables and brought in some nice black and brown striped cloth-wrapped cables. Not only that, they sound much better than the ones Apple includes with its iPods. The Zune 2 could win on quality then, perhaps.
Smart move - to give a better out-of-the-box experience than the ho-hum earphones that come with most players.
Can you tell us your source for this info?
We could, but then we’d have kill you. ;)
I had to ask. :(
Or maybe one of your people browsed the Zune.net site. This photo is the Premium Zune Earbuds. There is a possibility though that both is true and Microsoft will ship the Zune 2 players with its premium earbuds as default:

Oops I missed the line saying the new Earbuds look like the premium and V-Moda in the photo. Mea culpa :)
