Comments on: I’d marry my thinksound PVC-free headphones if I weren’t already married to Michael http://myplasticfreelife.com/2010/08/id-marry-my-thinksound-pvc-free-headphones-if-i-werent-already-married-to-michael/ Think we can't live without plastic? Think again. In 2007 I committed to stop buying any new plastic & I've almost succeeded! Won't you join me? Let's see what plastic-free looks like in 2012... for the health of our bodies, our oceans, our planet. ~Beth Terry Fri, 24 May 2013 17:23:35 +0000 hourly 1 By: Aaron Fournier http://myplasticfreelife.com/2010/08/id-marry-my-thinksound-pvc-free-headphones-if-i-werent-already-married-to-michael/comment-page-1/#comment-19721 Aaron Fournier Tue, 14 Sep 2010 14:37:33 +0000 http://fakeplasticfish.com/?p=2634#comment-19721 I use them everyday at the gym and I love them. I designed them with working out in mind. There is also an included cable clip to keep the cable from bouncing around and from getting tangled. If you use the correct fittings they work wonderful. I hope this helps.

It comes with several to choose from.

It is always a pain to stop and re-adjust or re-insert. Thanks.

I was driving through the Rocky Mountains earlier this week, chatting to a friend on my phone and using my ear buds. She said, “I can’t hear you very well.” So I took them out and finished the call holding the phone to my head – so retro!

Well, I have not been able to find my headphones anywhere since. Evidently, I tossed them out the window at 10,000 feet …? In any case, I’m in the market for a new pair and poof! You come through with this post.

Big thanks to Mr. Fournier, who kindly stepped in to answer our questions directly. The company obviously puts a lot of forward thinking into their product and their packaging, which I really admire. Like so many others here, I have a hard time with the earbuds, not comfortable, so I’ll be looking into the memory seals that he mentioned.

Oh, and being a sucker for clear audio is not a weakness, Beth. You are allowed to marvel in gratitude like the rest of us.

Instead I bought a pair yesterday, and today I am using them. I’ve had approximately 2 headphones ever. One was in 1994 when I had a bright yellow walkman for listening to tapes. The other pair was crappy earbuds from an old MP3 player. These are, of course, leaps and bounds better than those. :) Thanks for the heads up!

So glad they worked for you (and that you got them free…sweet!)…I only use headphones at work so any noise from my computer doesn’t bother others in cubie land, so I guess I’ll stick with my old, old, old pair from a long-gone Sony Walkman (in which only the right ear works, and that don’t play the sound from YouTube at all, which I haven’t figured out) until they’re totally dead…then I’ll get the ThinkSounds, because it’s good to support companies that are doing the right thing.

Just to clarify the terminology: headphone is the overall term. These are IEM headphones, “In Ear Monitor”, something that you push inside your ear. Some people find these uncomfortable. The good thing about IEM is that they are small, sound better in general because they have more control over what’s between them and your eardrum, and they block out noise.

Earbuds is another general terms, same as IEM. Not trademarked by apple!

I’m glad you love your new thingys and are keeping them!

I don’t wear them much, but they would be useful for listening to webinars at work w/o disturbing my office mates, as well as for travel. I don’t travel much, but due to motion sickness, I can’t read anything, so listening to something would be a nice option (though I guess I would also have to buy some kind of mp3 player — sigh, more stuff).

The comments from people who can’t wear earbuds worry me a bit, because my right ear canal definitely seems to be deformed. It’s an issue when wearing earplugs — left one goes in fine, right one is never quite “right.”
