[QUOTE="Sophrosyne, post: 75813801, member: 193127"] I like cans but they are mainly only good for inactivity as they are hard to use while moving around and working and walking you have to go to something else that either hooks over the ear or earbuds. The problem with these options is trying to "guess" what they sound like when you can't "try before you buy". I bought a pair of earbuds about 13 years ago made by soundblaster and they cost me about $50 and sound great and I have a cheap pair of sony earphones that I like but find the design doesn't work consistently in my ears as you have to jam them in just right to both get them to stay and also to align them and seal them so they sound good. If you don't get them right the base suffers and they aren't as loud on that side. I've seen BT neckbuds? not sure what they call them but the controls and electronics/batteries sit on your neck/shoulders area they attracted me as I was looking for 10-12 hours runtime off a charge but sadly most offered 6 maybe 8 hours runtime. We now have improved earbuds that I'm not sure of the runtime that come in charging cases? If you can't replace the batteries I guess they are disposable as over time the batteries will age and runtime will continue to drop till you can't just use them without charging half way through a session. It is sort of like trying to buy a car before you can drive it IMO. [/QUOTE]
