Gadgets: Gumy earbuds feel good and sound good
Earbuds are my least favorite iPod accessory. People with small ears complain that their ears hurt after a period of time and I understand completely. Wearing a hat or hood in cold weather over a pair of hard plastic earbuds is painful.
At first my iPod earbuds felt fine but after just about a half hour I could feel the burn. I wanted to remove them from my ears but could not decide which would hurt worst – taking them out or leaving them in.
I had given up the hunt for a comfortable set - but maybe I gave up too soon. JVC Gumy Earbuds are different. Not only are they colorful they are comfortable. Not only are they comfortable they sound great.
All of this praise and they can be had at a price of under $10. Can you say “Stocking Stuffer”? The soft rubbery feeling earbuds can make listening to an iPod a better experience for kids and adults. I like the pink color because it looks girly. I like the “elastomer” construction because it feels good.
