I have the standard earpod set, which came with my
armband MP3 player. It pops out every 2 minutes.
How did these things become the standard design?
They suck.
So now i'm looking for the earbud style, i.e. inside the
ear. They range from $8 to $40, and Shure offers a set,
over $100?!? For something so small, how can there
be such a range? Is there really such quality difference?
They are all sealed in blister packs, there's no chance
to compare. Even if there were, differences in
environment, time of day, etc. swamp perceptual
discernment.
How would you go about testing these things, in the lab?
You have to get somebody with ears that suck, to wear the earbuds that
suck..... You might try reading the reviews to find a set that is generally
well liked, but otherwise, you just have to risk the hundred bucks and take
a chance on quality vs. scam.... Good luck!
