Some idiot decided that headphone jacks are not as good as… buying earbuds that cost 3x or more what I “paid” for the ear buds with a wire and are so easy to misplace, I’m no audiophile I just want to hear someone talk. So I only listen to stuff if there is no one close and lower the volume if people get close to me so as not to disturb them
as long as they are comfortable over my glasses, any cans with removable cables are good enough for me. and they started making usb-C to 3.5 cables so i don’t have to keep buying shitty adaptors that break every few months, i can just buy shitty cables!
unasked for shill, but like glasses that are comfortable over cans are rare so if anyone wants to know
i use OneOdio cans (that’s fun for spanglish speakers) because they make good cheap comfortable headphones. I think this current pair has been around six or seven years. the sounds quality is Great For $35 and they are comfortable over my glasses for extended periods. Like we’re talking 7-8 hours it’s ridiculous.
edit: fuck. strike that, reverse it, i’m getting more coffee
Glasses+overear headphones is something I struggle with. I generally use in-ear headphones on the go, but those come with their own issues; I actually got a set of in-ear headphones for musicians recently, they have replacable cables but there’s even more cable noise (amplified sound from walking, clothes rubbing against the cable etc.) than for standard consumer in-ears, plus I don’t really like their sound.
What model of OneOdio headphones do you use? I assume they don’t all have the exact same level of comfort.
also i didn’t know these existed. i’ve already got the tinnitus so i don’t use in-ears, since they are significantly correlated with hearing loss. which ones are they?
Shure SE215 Pro CL. Common features of musician’s in-ears are that the cables are supposed to go around the ear instead of straight down, and many of them have detachable cables. They’re also tuned a little different differently and I think they tend to be louder than standard in-ears.
in-ears, since they are significantly correlated with hearing loss
What makes them so hearing-loss inducing? I always thought they were more ear-friendly compared to standard ear-buds or compact overear headphones, because they isolate outside noise better.
i’d have to ask my wife for specifics, she’s deeper in the Deaf community than i am, but i think it has something to do with being easier to play louder volumes with the speaker too close to your eardrum or cochlea or something. I am not an authoritative source.
that’s the thing, it can sneak up on you, especially if you find yourself suddenly in a loud environment. and in my experience, it just takes a single blast of noise.
I run the wire under my top layer, tho I have misplaced wired headphones, so it doesn’t get caught on anything but since my pixel 6, that I still use, the headphones have been coiled and sitting in a drawer
I’ve always done it that way, doesn’t help much. I’m also breaking phone and laptop headphone jacks somehow. IDK how this keeps happening.
TBF I also have connection issues with bluetooth devices. My old AF laptop theoretically has bluetooth but I can’t get it to connect with any BT headphones anymore.

TBH I’m way more likely to break headphone wires than to misplace wireless earbuds.

uh… gimme a sec. they’re blue and cheap

Sounds like it’s a complete non-issue if you’re not consciously trying to blast your ears clean through …
