Sport Earphones for everyday use?

[krkevin]

Has anyone tried using a pair of fitness earphones for normal everyday use? I know this may seem like a stupid question, but just curious.

in ear headphones damages ur ears overtime due to friction ect

 

however if it is one of these that dont fully stick into ur ears ( the actual comfort sport design thingy that dont go all the way in ur ear )

 

then ur fine aslong they dont constantly cause friction in ur ear

ive fallen asleep with them multiple times

no friction man - these style of ear buds are always designed to fit snug inside your ears....they dont move at all

it sounds like your tips are shitty - or you have sensitive ears

Regular use of earplugs can lead to swelling and local infection of the skin of the external ear canal, although their occasional use is likely to be harmless.

 

not everyone have it but ALOT of ppl do

 

also regular use of earplugs ( in ear ) causes the ear to lose its own cleaning function with wax so the ear cant create wax anymore while its inside and that can lead to the infections or even ear canal damage

 

 

so short said, even if u dont notice anything right now u could get serious ear canal issues in a few years maybe from now

I have JBL inspire 500 ear phones, they not fully "in-ear" they do have a little nub that just kinda sits in there, but it has a way of locking into your ear so it doesn't just fall out. they are quite comfortable and have decent sound, i dont use them at my desktop, i have a proper headset for that, only if im going out somewhere with my phone or just connect it via Bluetooth to my laptop for usage elsewhere in the house

I know these aren't "sport earphones" but I have been using the Etymotic MicroPro ER-4S earphones which are fully in ear. There is even a little paper that tells you to make sure that there is a deep seal in the ear canal. I have never had problems with ears natural cleaning processes and the only thing in ear earphones is that by the end of the day you ear canal may be a little bit bigger. But that just goes right back to normal the following morning.

go to an otolaryngologist and tell them the same, u will see

i recently been to one and yeah unless the earphones are molded specificly to ur ear ( yeah those earphones exist ) and not just the rubber round ones ect, it damages ur ear... believe as u wish its ur body u damage man , id rather believe an otolaryngologist then som1 just saying no because he thinks so or doesnt have pain

 

the ones that go all the way in ur ear, damages the ear overtime, point out

 

the ones that dont go all the way in the ear dont damage > said by an otolaryngologist <

 

if u dont believe it make an appointment

Yeah... I've been using 5 dollar amazon earbuds for the past 3 years even throughout mountain biking/hiking/running and my ears are still fine. They aren't molded at all, especially for 5 dollars lol.

I'm sure they will be fine for you. As i mentioned earlier, I use some cheap-o panasonic earbuds off amazon for like 5 dollars over the past few  years and they still hold up fine.
