In which my [good] cyber ears return.

I found the good headphones, YAY! Quite by accident, they had fallen into the space on the bedroom couch between the cushion and the arm. This is where the TV remote usually falls, so I was looking for the remote, and there were ears in there! Woo! This is also nicer for watching things on lappy, no more stupid earbuds hurting the hell out of my ears.

i finally found a pair of ear buds that don't hurt. i have always liked the style and smallness of ear buds, but every pair i've ever owned have hurt the ever living fuck out of my ears.

the pair i found were $50 here in CR, which i assume would be about $75 - 100 in the states. i have no idea what brand they are, but man oh man are they nice. you can't even feel them in your ears and the sound is amazing. i think the secret to making good ear buds is to have the piece that goes inside the ear made completely out of softy stuff... that's how these are at least. the softy stuff feels like flesh. it feels like the same material those really expensive fleshy feeling sex toys are made out of.

I can't imagine paying anywhere near that much for headphones/earbuds. Even the squishy ear plugs that I'll occasionally get for concerts or to sleep somewhere loud, hurt my ears after a while.

Here's how the above work:



The loop goes around the back of the ear, and doesn't come as far down as my ear barbell, and the cord stays away from barbell also. The sound is great, I barely know they're there, they NEVER hurt my ears, and they were something like $12. LOVE THEM. Only buy this kind, cause even the least pinchy headphones give me a headache after a while. Sensitive head.

yeah, i don't mind paying $50 for quality earphones. i would gladly pay even more for these - they are that amazing. they aren't like ear plugs at all. i can't use earplugs, because they make my ears hurt.

these feel like nothing in your ear. i think the fleshy material really is the secret behind the comfort.
