Earbuds ...

[Sapphyre]

Aww, c'mon! You guys never did the thing where you had the right one in, and a friend sitting on your right put in the left one, and you guys rocked out together? And then awkwardly and accidentally pulled the others' earbud out every time you moved?

Missing. Out.

I prefer to crank it up and let everyone hear the metal.

Not disgusting...if you clean them. Alcohol prep pads are your FRIENDS!

I would share my ear buds with any of you fine folks..

Custom molded silicon in-ear monitor buds.

That way, no-one can share them even if they want.

I was going to comment about using alcohol pads! I suppose I would let someone use my earbuds if I had an alcohol pad with me (which I always have on hand). But I would be reluctant to let someone use my earbuds if they weren't a family member or close friend, to be honest. However....I have had people use my stethoscope before, and I always clean it afterwards (albeit, with a much stronger hospital-grade disinfectant).

Sharing earbuds — disgusting or not? Discuss.

Disgusting. Flat out disgusting.
I know what comes out of my ears.
Its no different than saying, "Can I use a used tissue?"

My ears and earbuds don't agree so I don't use them. But it's funny, I work at a radio station and get creeped out by using headphones that are 'in the studio.' When I worked part time announcing, I brought my own to use for my 'show.'

stranger no...

that aside it depends on the earbuds.... some just go real deap and collect everything (remember when they used to have cloth covers instead of rubber) also if it comes out coated in wax and all nasty looking then forget it... thats just wrong...

not to mention you have to worry about MTD's (musically transmited diseases lol) =D
