Considering My Earphones 202202

  • I bought the Beats Studio Buds in Considering my earphones 202112.

  • However, they don’t fit my ears well.

  • So, I’m considering other options.

  • As a prerequisite, I can’t remove the bone conduction earphones I’m currently using.

    • The comfort of having nothing in my ears is an experience that cannot be replaced by the AirPods Pro or the WF-1000XM3/4.
  • With that in mind, I also want earphones that can be used in noisy environments.

  • As an interesting idea, I’m considering using bone conduction earphones in combination with custom IEM earplugs.

    • This would involve wearing the custom IEM earplugs when the bone conduction is not audible due to noise or when I want noise cancellation.
    • Pros:
      • It meets the desired conditions.
      • I would only need one pair of earphones, so I wouldn’t have to deal with Bluetooth connectivity issues.
      • The sound quality would probably be satisfactory.
        • Bone conduction + earplugs allow me to hear the bass properly.
        • Moreover, the Shokz OpenRun Pro is also coming out, so if I’m not satisfied with the sound quality, I can upgrade.
      • The earplugs would fit securely, so I wouldn’t have the issue of Earphones that Suit You.
      • It solves the problem of custom IEM earphones.
        • It’s not expensive.
          • I can’t afford to spend 50,000 to 100,000 yen on earphones, but earplugs cost around 10,000 yen.
            • Well, it’s still expensive.
          • Oh, but it costs an additional 5,000 yen for the ear mold collection.
        • Custom IEM earphones are wired, so they can’t be used, but it doesn’t matter with earplugs.

          • I see. (blu3mo)
            • Also, it’s said that the ear mold doesn’t fit properly when the body weight changes by about 7kg, so it’s better to have reached a stable period after the growth phase. (rickshinmi)
      • It’s interesting (important).
        • It has a certain charm (?).
    • Cons:
      • It becomes bulky to wear bone conduction on the ears and earplugs at the same time.
    • Maybe I should try taking the train once with silicone earplugs and aeropex.
  • While I was thinking about this, the Sony LinkBuds came out.
