I have small ears. They don’t like the traditional white earphones from Apple. You know, the ones that come with your iPod. I had some horrible Koss earphones a while ago, that were squishy, but never quite fit in my ear right. So, I’ve always been afraid of the earbuds that might make you go deaf.
I got Sony MDR-EX81LP Bud-Style Stereo Earphones (White)“>these Sonys two weeks ago. Overall, I do like them. They come with three sizes of “buds.” I had to use the smallest ones, but they fit perfectly. However, I got these because I thought the buds might not fit, and the hooks would make me feel more secure.
The hooks? They don’t hook. The posts, as other reviews I’ve read, are just too long. If you would just shorten those posts a tad, Sony, these would be perfect. For my non-audiophile ears, they sound good. Overall, if i could afford $200 Shures, I’d get those, but for $35, these will do fine.
I have a version of these without the hooks, and I like them. Apparently my ears are different sizes, so I use the small size in one and the medium size in the other. Who knew?
Once you rule out earbuds because of my weird sized/shaped ears and hook-over models because I wear glasses, I’m stuck using old-fashioned over-the-head earphones.
I thought my ears were weird too until I tried these. Hope is not lost, dear Michelle!
