Hi all, I just got one of my Christmas presents, and wanted to mention a new product I'm really impressed with. they're ear-buds designed so that they can't fall out of your ear, and they rest on the outside of it so that you can still hear other sounds in the environment, while listening to a talking book say.
they're light-weight, and very small and compact, just like regular ear-buds. the trick is that you don't cram these inside your ear at all, but they rest really on the edge of your face, right up against the outside of your ear, and a loop of the cord goes up and around behind your ear, and is clipped to itself in such a way that you tighten it to fit, and then they don't fall off. and I have no trouble hearing my book and other people in the room talking to me both. They're not the best music experience ever, but you can hear your music well enough, and still hear other sounds. These are called AirDrives Fit, and are available from Amazon for $31 with free shipping. they're black. Below is the link to the Amazon merchant with the $31 price. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001P822RU/ref=ox_ya_oh_product Chip -----Original Message----- From: Missy Hoppe [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, December 31, 2009 1:49 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [GW-Booksense] Book Sense Ear Buds Hi! I think those buds you get free with stuff, including booksense, are useless to a lot of people. I never even open those earphones any more, and either throw them away immediately or try to find them a new home as soon as possible with people who aren't particularly picky about stuff like that. I got my mom a Sansa clip for Christmas, not even thinking that she'd ever want head phones with it since she wears 2 hearing aids; I got her a nice set of speakers to go with it. Anyway, a couple of days later, she was telling me how the earphones just didn't fit her ears. I happened to have a spare pair of my beloved Sonys lying around because I had just purchased the upgraded design which I provided the link to in a previous message. Long story a bit shorter, the Sonys fit mom too, and she likes them almost as much as I do. I'm not quite sure what I think of the new improved version; the wire is easier to work with, but the buds themselves have also been slightly redesigned and don't seem to fit quite as well as they used to. The sound is noticeably better, though, and in all fairness, I haven't had much reading time, so haven't had much chance to get used to the new design. Anyway, sorry to ramble. I just wanted to agree with you that the earphones that come with booksense are uncomfortable and don't fit.
