I had the same idea, almost tried it too. The problem with this is that ear buds need the open air around them in order to move freely to produce decent sound. If you enclose them in industrial ear muffs you have shut out other sounds but also suppressed the drivers in the ear buds. If you're not an audiophile anyway then you may be very happy with this solution. And for $2 just to try it's not a bad gamble. Just be warned that this reduces the quality of sound your ear buds are able to make. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
