      as long as they are comfortable over my glasses, any cans with removable cables are good enough for me. and they started making usb-C to 3.5 cables so i don’t have to keep buying shitty adaptors that break every few months, i can just buy shitty cables!

      unasked for shill, but like glasses that are comfortable over cans are rare so if anyone wants to know

      i use OneOdio cans (that’s fun for spanglish speakers) because they make good cheap comfortable headphones. I think this current pair has been around six or seven years. the sounds quality is Great For $35 and they are comfortable over my glasses for extended periods. Like we’re talking 7-8 hours it’s ridiculous.

      edit: fuck. strike that, reverse it, i’m getting more coffee

        Glasses+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.

          uh… gimme a sec. they’re blue and cheap

          got a set of in-ear headphones for musicians

          also i didn’t know these existed. i’ve already got the tinnitus so i don’t use in-ears, since they are significantly correlated with hearing loss. which ones are they?

            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.

            in-ears, since they are significantly correlated with hearing loss

            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 …

                  that’s the thing, it can sneak up on you, especially if you find yourself suddenly in a loud environment. and in my experience, it just takes a single blast of noise.

      I run the wire under my top layer, tho I have misplaced wired headphones, so it doesn’t get caught on anything but since my pixel 6, that I still use, the headphones have been coiled and sitting in a drawer

        I’ve always done it that way, doesn’t help much. I’m also breaking phone and laptop headphone jacks somehow. IDK how this keeps happening.

        TBF I also have connection issues with bluetooth devices. My old AF laptop theoretically has bluetooth but I can’t get it to connect with any BT headphones anymore.
