ear buds
Is it just me, or are all ear buds uncomfortable? I spend a lot of time with my ear buds in my ear. Illegally driving with them in, drowning out Bob the Builder and Thomas the Train - but not my son, of course. I always have an audio book or a podcast going. Or sometimes it’s just the Indigo Girls. The point here is that I hate my ear buds.
I think there are options out there for me, but I’m afraid to find them. First of all, go to any electronics store, and you’ll see a million options. Well, at least ten. Anyway, they range from $30 to $200! For earphones, people! Crazy.
I actually don’t want the expensive ones - not because they’re overpriced, but because I don’t want all noise blocked out. Like I said, I keep my ear buds in, but I need to know everything that’s happening around me, so the cheap ones are fine for my purposes.
The real problem is that I have really small ears! The standard nano earbuds are way too big and don’t stay in my ears. I’ve bought three different sets that have various sizes of bud covers, but even the small ones are too big. I can wear them, but they’re so uncomfortable!
Any other small-ear people out there with solutions to my problem?
the regular earbuds hurt my ears, too. i LOVE my v-moda vibe ear buds … but they were about $100 at the apple store and do cancel out a good portion of external noise. but they have those interchangeable silicone fittings that make sizing a breeze!
Hello fellow sufferer! I live in ear buds and more especially sleep in them (can’t sleep without white noise) — Picture me…CPAP then iPOD in layers. My ears hurt all the time! Last night I fell asleep with my glasses on to boot. My sweet husband gently extricated them from my tangle of wires while I slept.
