Comment on Sound of silence
rumschlumpel@feddit.org 5 hours agoGlasses+overear headphones is something I struggle with. I generally use in-ear headphones on the go, but those come with their own issues; I actually got a set of in-ear headphones for musicians recently, they have replacable cables but there’s even more cable noise (amplified sound from walking, clothes rubbing against the cable etc.) than for standard consumer in-ears, plus I don’t really like their sound.
What model of OneOdio headphones do you use? I assume they don’t all have the exact same level of comfort.

Shure SE215 Pro CL. Common features of musician’s in-ears are that the cables are supposed to go around the ear instead of straight down, and many of them have detachable cables. They’re also tuned a little different differently and I think they tend to be louder than standard in-ears.
What makes them so hearing-loss inducing? I always thought they were more ear-friendly compared to standard ear-buds or compact overear headphones, because they isolate outside noise better.

i’d have to ask my wife for specifics, she’s deeper in the Deaf community than i am, but i think it has something to do with being easier to play louder volumes with the speaker too close to your eardrum or cochlea or something. I am not an authoritative source.

Sounds like it’s a complete non-issue if you’re not consciously trying to blast your ears clean through …
