Premium Earphones

chadh92 · 07-19-2008, 01:53 PM

I just got my 80gb Zune today and I am really disappointed with the earphones. I don't really know how to get them in my ear. Are you supposed to push them in until your ears pop or what? If I don't do that then they just fall out

I just picked up an 80gig today and the cans just slide in. Inside the carton that holds the headphones should be a plastic bag with different size ear plugs. Swap them out and see which ones fit best.

The smallest ones work better than anything, but I feel like I have to push them in and it's very uncomfortable.

It's pretty sad because for portability I have the choice between these premium earphones, and my iPod earbuds. The Zune ones have wayyy better quality, but the iPod ones feel a lot better. I shouldn't have to compromise.

Looks like I'm gonna drop another $50 or so on earbuds.

EDIT: The smallest silicone head is perfect in my right ear, but my left ear is just letting it fall out. Nothing fits my left ear.

EDIT(x2): I'm retarded. Forgot I have a mosquito bite in that ear. They should be fine once that goes away.

They're supposed to create a seal, to block outside noise. They might be a little uncomfortable at first, if you never used canalphones. To insert them, try pulling the top of your ear (so the opening is wider), then slide the earphones in, you may or may not hear a pop, but basically you want outside noise to reduce a lot, and feel it securely in place. If they're falling out easily, or there seems to be no bass to the music, you're using the wrong size ear piece and/or you haven't inserted it deeply enough.
