if I put them in deep enough, then sure they do although comfortable is something else...

but really for normal use, it is just a waste of money to use buds like that, knowing that people around the globe dont even have money to buy food, and you are wasting 330 euro on something stupid as an earbud...

really, crazy people

You think those are expensive?

$900

Most of that price is likely due to an audiologist having to make the ear molds. That's quite a racket they run with hearing aids.

"Silent, where'd you get the Apple earbuds from? I can't find it anywhere on the online Apple store. Bah!"

I bought mine at CompUsa for around $39 (and they come with a realllly nice case for the other "squishy things")

And here is the link for where you can get em at apple.com http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?productLearnMore=M9394G/A

the thing is that on the store page they show them in the box not the headphones standing alone. Apple In-Ear Headhpones

Wax goes in, mold comes out. :P

I stand corrected: Further reading reveals that you get to spend an extra $50 for an audiologist to do the impressions for you.

They're still horse-traders when it comes to hearing aids, regardless.

"can your 5 euro earbuds block 32 decibels?"

Bleh, just put real ear-plugs over the earbuds... I don't want to buy earbuds that want to pretend like earplugs, now do I?

:P

On a more serious note: Id rather buy a real set of speakers. Its much easier to brag.

Yeah, these things kick ass. /me starts up Halo and starts shooting around while playing the Halo Theme Song.
