Why the fuck there are so few earbud models and so many in-ear? Bought the in-ear shit and they hurt! Not to mention that earwax production increased in my ears. Fuck that noise. Also, who the fuck buys expensive headphones?!

>Why the fuck there are so few earbud models
Because they are shit
>and so many in-ear
Take a wild guess
David Johnson
If time travel is invented, I'm going back in time and putting a bullet in the faggot that made IEM shit and then killing his entire family to prevent any possibility of that shit ever being made.

People are fucking retarded and will convince themselves that expensive shit isn't objectively worse?
Joshua Gonzalez
It's the opposite for me, back before iems exploded earbuds always made my ears hurt a fuckton. While iems I can wear all day. They sound better too.
Austin Baker
>in-ear
>expensive
You can buy a pair for like $10 or less, and they'll last between half a year and a year before they go dead in one ear.
In-ears are better because normal earbuds are objectively uncomfortable. That's it.
Ryder Roberts
i currently use the ones on the left, but i also own some on the right.
the dollar general by my houses sells them for 2 dollars. i bought like 5 of them in case one breaks
Zachary Long
>uncomfortable
How?
With in-ear shit I can't hear the door bell ringing
Joseph Price
Because earbuds are dog shit. I had so many earbud pairs in 90s and early 00s and they never ever fit my ear properly and always leaked a fuckton of noise when the main purpose was for them to be used on the go instead of at home. IEM are significantly better at doing their job. They isolate the noise from outside, don't leak and above all are comfortable and much easier to configure for your ear.
If you like earbuds you're some retarded contrarian zoomer.
William Wood
Use earbuds + noise cancelling muffs
win-win
Caleb Wilson
>With in-ear shit I can't hear the door bell ringing
that's called isolation and it's a good thing (here's why)
Tyler Long
>If you like earbuds you're some retarded contrarian zoomer.
i buy them because they are cheap. no matter how much you pay they'll eventually break. my aunt gave me 50 dollar ones and they got worn out within 3 months
you might as well buy 2 dollar ones. that's what i do

>mfw went to a PC recycler and they had a whole basket of brand new 50c earbuds from corporate smartphones that nobody used
>i shopped there often so they let me have them for 25c each
>grabbed half the basked and now have enough to last me the rest of my life
Benjamin Miller
I can't stand them either but mostly because they cancel out too much outside noise and I prefer hearing those, too. It feels safer in the streets, much nicer in nature and makes conversations while hearing music possible.
Hunter Bennett
>last between 6 months to one year
In ears barely last 3-4 months before going dead. Earbuds not only feel comfortable but they last longer. Honestly how do you faggots love hooks in your ears?
Kayden Lewis
cute
Michael Price
Earbuds are objectively better and have better quality than in-ears which require you to jam them in your fucking ear holes causing long term damage.
Also sony makes the best earbuds at least the ones we have in Canada are prime quality for about $13 cad. I hate in-ears and only non-whites prefer them because of their weird ear shapes.
Wyatt Thompson
They are good but Philips are cheaper and as good. Also fuck Sony.
Ryder Gutierrez
If your ears hurt, you are using the wrong tip size. Get foam tips and squeeze them before inserting. The foam will take the the shape of your ear canal.
Logan Turner
My headphones came with one tip size. How do I take them off without destroying that shit? Also these fucking chinese headphones tried to steal data from my PC...
Sebastian Murphy
i will stick to earbuds thanks i rather have a healthy hearing letting earwax go through
Lincoln Baker
>VE Monk Plus
>Edifier H180 (or H190)

all of these are on aliexpress under $20 and sound great
Bentley James
Bought these a year ago and they still work flawlessly.
Adam Jenkins
You can pull them off. USB connector?
Michael Fisher
No but after pligging them into thinkpad audio jack it started to sound like data transfer. My phone does not produce sound on its own.
Jayden Lopez
kek, no, old shitty laptops do that
Matthew Taylor
Just use a headset and you won't hurt your ear or get wax on it
Joseph Morris
That's most likely EMI. Happens on desktops with shitty front panel jacks.
Nathan Ramirez
Thinkpad t430.
My Philips headphones never did that.
Jonathan Morris
>poor shielding
>the chinks are stealing my data what shall I do r/technology?
Prime example of pulling wool over your eyes and acting like a retard just to fit the situation in with the sensibilities of your worldview.

Last time I acted smart on Jow Forums I got banned.
Jonathan Nelson
>Last longer?
How? That part of the design does not affect longevity
Camden Young
In ear is superior in both sound quality, sound isolation, and comfort. Sorry to all the folks with "special" ears who need to hear when mommy fixed their tendies.
Noah Richardson
Everyone sell your headphones, they're shit now. OP knows more than us
Logan Stewart
in ear ones are the only ones that stay where they're supposed to be and isolate outside sounds
Brandon Gonzalez
in-ear is the best way to get tinnitus
it's also unhygienic and uncomfortable
fuck.that.shit
Matthew Brown
You got tinnitus from picking out earwax before you knew it was bad
"no"
not an argument
try again
Brandon Rodriguez
>Honestly how do you faggots love hooks in your ears?
Same way as I like hooks in my ass. I'm a masochist.
Camden Gray
godd fuck
Jordan Taylor
no
Noah Green
Gonna agree with OP, had the Shure SE530 IEMs and they were a nightmare in every way and I'm pretty sure I permanently damaged something in one ear by fumbling with their terrible pads that always got coated in disgusting earwax. Now I have $2 iPod knockoff earbuds from the thrift store and with a good DAC they sound fine.
Christopher Watson
The one thing I agree with is that foam pads fucking suck.
Basic silicone tips are the best, often I forget I even have mine in.
Leo Long
There is a lot of earbuds on AliExpress.
Check the headfi thread earbuds round up, although that thread had became quite cancerous for the last few months.
Grayson Richardson

Earbuds can have sub bass now. Just try it. Also huge soundstage that only $1000+ iem can reproduce.
Blake Ward
>bought a thinkpad
>thinks its top quality, despite having noisy audio
Another braindead follower.
Joseph Miller
People don't enjoy having to hold their head perfectly still to avoid their earbuds falling off.
Logan Carter
compared to earbuds yes.
not compared to on-ear for sound quality and comfort though. (still yes for isolation)
Juan Flores
>it started to sound like data transfer
lmao the big brains of Jow Forums everyone
Gabriel Gonzalez
Seconding this. Visit the iem general for more info on which foam tips are the ones to buy.
