I bought these because I have frequent ear infections

So if you want to avoid an ear infection, if you're not picky about fidelity, if you want something cheap and comfortable

If you are prone to ear infections-excess earwax.. my ENT advised me to only buy ear phones that are flat and rest against the ear opening because the ear buds that you stick in your ear only push wax and any dirt-debree into your ear and cause painful ear infections.

Formerly, I used in-the-ear earbuds, but I got an ear infection, my first since I was a kid, and I felt (sorry, no controlled study on this) that sticking those objects in my ears led to the trouble

Awesome just doesnt stay on the ear as good as id hoped maybe my ears are too small

I cannot recommend these for sound as with most recent

They don't cancel noise as well as in the ear sets, but that's an acceptable tradeoff.

Granted, the volume will never be as great as with the buds or muffs, but overall it is worth it for the comfort and low-visibility.

I bought 3 different pairs of earphone styles and none of them worked as well as

If a standard earbud design were rated as a 1 with 1 being least comfortable for laying on your side, and 5 being best or most comfortable, I'd rate these at 2
