E-A-R Earbuds Are Ridiculous!
Wink: If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip.
There are enough mp3 iPod type devices on the market today to satisfy most anyone's audio desires. They go for a 'buck or two' up into the hundreds. I am not a music person to any degree anymore, having been a DJ for a few years in my past kind of ruined me as I heard my share of a variety of tunes.
But lately I started using an mp3 player from time to time to listen to podcasts available off the internet. There certainly are enough topics available to waste time in a valuable way when those fill in times arise.
Now I only have one problem with these mp3 players. Earbuds! Yes earbuds! Now my ears are pretty average - okay, they stick out a little, but they are pretty normal as ear specifications go. But the damn earbuds always fall out. I have about six sets of them, and no matter what way they are installed, inserted, stuck on or whatever you are supposed to do with them, they fall off.
In fact, my definition of ear would be - Earbuds Are Ridiculous!
Well the problem was solved today by Dollarama. Yep, tiny little devils that hook over the top of your ear and are hardly noticable. Surprisingly, they sound pretty good too.
Even says on the package I can ride a skateboard and they won't fall off. Doesn't say anything about me though(?).
