Earphone / Earbud recommendations???



Recommended Posts

My white ones that came with the ipod just self-destructed. I would like to replace them with something that stays in place a little better.

What do you use? What have you tried that didn't work?

I got some over the ear ones from Walmart once. They didn't stay in place well at all. I still like the concept and I'm wondering if I just bought a crappy brand, or if the whole design isn't very good for exercising?

Then there's the ones with the little silicon ring that you actually put in your ear canal. How well do those stay in place?

Thanks!

Hi

Real good ones are the Bose, they are expensive but they are worth it. I payed about $100 for them. Look on the Bose web site and investiage. These earphones come with 3 different sizes of inner ear comfort buds so they do stay in place. Also you have the technology of Bose. I also found Sony ear buds to have a great sound. Hope this was helpful

Thanks, Kim!

I'm not as worried about the sound quality as I am about the comfort and fit. (Although I don't want BAD sound quality, either.) The iPod ones were OK, but they did tend to fall out every now and then.

You like the comfort of the type that fit into your ear, then?

Hi

Sorry I was busy!! Yes I like the way the Bose fit as well as sound. I also like the way the Sony's felt. Do some research

I did not like the sound of the Ipod buds.

Peace

I really like the SkullCandy brand that I have. I am very picky about earbuds and couldn't even use the ones that came with my Ipod. I found the SkullCandy ones at Best Buy but they also sell them at Target and Walmart. I paid $20 for them but they work so well I would have paid more. They come in a variety of colors and they give you three sets of buds for a right fit. I listen to my Ipod a lot at night and am always falling asleep with them on. I can't even feel them in my ears they are so comfortable.

Good luck with your search. I know how frustrating it is to find a good pair of buds.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
