But they wouldn't stay in my ear, especially when I walked or ran, so I tried using my big Koss home stereo headphones, and they sounded awesome, but they were too hot, dorky, and heavy to wear outside. So I tried a set of Sony Street Style Headphones (MDR-G74S), and they worked very well for me. Inside, I still use the big Koss set, but outside I now use the Sony's. My wife, though, really likes ear-buds, even though the little foam cushion broke off and they wouldn't stay in her ear, so I gave her mine, and the same thing happened. But she swears by ear-buds and she has now gotten another set. Certainly someone will correct me if I am mistaken, but I am under the impression that for SW listening, especially DXing, you're better served by headphones/earbuds that deemphasize the higher frequencies. Thus high fidelity models may not be in order here. FWIW, if you must have high fidelity, I have found that JVC Gumy earbuds are exceptionally good for the price, less than ten dollars at Walmart. They are molded out of silicone, hence very comfortable hour after hour, seem to be right and left ear specific for best fit, and offer top notch musical reproduction on my walkman type radios. I wear them several hours every day and they have never fallen out on my walk. In fact they're so comfortable I no longer notice them when they're in. |
