Hello, I have bought an Oregon MP120 waterproof Player with earphones, which have condoms of plasticized PVC, easy to lose:

Please give me a tip how to affix them better.



Thank you

A dab of PVC cement would probably seal them on permanently. You'd need a second set if you wanted to listen without them. They should be pretty cheap.

Perhaps you could wrap some friction tape around the circumference. If you do not intend to remove these earpieces then glue them on. I'd use friction tape.

The flexible fluted plugs would interfere with the sound coming from the buds, I would think.

It looks like you need to glue the plugs to the buds so that when you pull them out of your ears, they come out in one piece.

Ear bud type devices are bad for your lifelong ability to have good hearing...

Obtain a geeky looking set of ear muff style head phones...

Care should be taken as to just how loud you set the volume...

It is not something you will notice today, tomorrow or 10 years from now but you WILL lose hearing if you "enjoy" listening to loud music from ear bud style head phones...

OMG!!! I've been using them for years. My hearing isn't that great anyway, so I hope to hell I'm not making it worse by using earbuds. Note that I do NOT listen to loud teenage music; mostly commentary and some normal music.

Do you have any evidence-based references you can post? Straight question.

TIA

Guess I'm way behind the times. Didn't know that word could be used outside of sexual context. Checked with Wikipedia, but didn't find anything other than sex.

Hi! If your condom is falling off, your pecker is too small for the condom size.

For a music player, you should be using the rhythm method.
