Is anyone else afraid of using ear buds?

[StormRider]

I like head phones better. I have never used ear buds because I'm afraid that I'll see ear wax on them when I take them out.

Just think of it as an aural butt plug.

 

[So]

No. I do find them uncomfortable when I wear them for more than ~30 mins or so though.

 

[clamum]

Not afraid of them but I don't like them cause they hurt my ears after awhile.

 

[flxnimprtmscl]

I use canal phones. No problems here.

why, you have a phobia of earwax or something?

I hate earbuds. I just dont find them comfortable and prefer regular headphones instead.

I just don't like them because they're uncomfortable after a while.

Yes. The isolation is fantastic. iPod + in-canal earphones + (cellphone yapping fvcktards in the library + * noise) = silence + Pink Floyd

Variable speed?

yea, not to big of a fan of the earbud. like its already been stated, it hurts the ear after a while. personally i just don't get as good of a quality as i can get off of regular headphones.

The headphones I have, while nothing special, do a fairly decent job blocking outside noise. Just a matter of preference I guess.

Why does the blonde not use earbuds?

She is afraid she'll have leaves groing into her (absent) brain!

 

[konakona]

i am very sensitive to ear fatigue. many attest higher grade models from ety or shure are perfectly fine in this regard, but with my limited experience i vastly prefer my sennheiser hd650 from ergonomics standpoint.

qtips are cheap. the sony ones atleast sometimes have antibacterial coatings.

closed Sennheisers :thumbsup:

 

[TexDotCom]

I'm not *afraid* of them, but they pretty much suck when it comes to using them when I use my MP3 player the most...working out. I only use them when I'm sitting around/not moving very much.

 

[Mo0o]

Just got Shures two weeks ago, LOVE them. I can't wait to put them to the ultimate test when i fly back to seattle from NC
