Apple in-ear phones
I picked up a pair of apple in ear-phones yesterday, its my 2nd pair as I gave away my first pair after my iPod was stolen. I really liked them before, but now they're just kind of a pain, as great as they sound.
I forgot how awkward these are at first. They "fit" but its so easy for them to come out when I'm walking or sitting and I turn my head while having the cord tucked under my coat or shirt. I've really got to push them into the ear canal for them to sound like they're working as designed. Also being able to hear every time the cord rubs on something, or even hearing the internal vibrations of my body as I walk is weird, but I suppose thats from having my ears "plugged" anyways.
Perhaps blowing out my ear drum a couple years ago also attributes to the way these feel (especially in the ear that was damaged), but they're not nearly as comfortable as I remembered them being.
However, they block out noise really well for a set of $40 ear phones. A definate upgrade from the stock ear-phones that the iPod comes with. They're also beautifully designed.
