Curious if anyone has some extra earbuds they'd let me borrow for a month or two while I'm doing some stimulating data entry?
Preferably of the non-circular variety, J-shaped or just really small as the average larger ones refuse to stay in my ears... I know it's kinda icky to share something like that, but I know a lot of them do come with different sizes so hopefully some normally ear-sized person has solely been using the mediums.

for the back story, I tried to get some $10 usb drive/player and have taken it back already and tried it on 3 computers with no luck and I don't want to purchase an actual MP3 player if I can't even download music... nor do I want to drop $20 when I'm just looking to listen to pandora for a month (it'd be that much because as previously mentioned I hate the circular ones, nor do I want the $2 amazon shitty-sounding ones to break as all the reviews promise). lastly I'm not seeking headphones cuz they press into my glasses and give me headaches.

it's just too annoying to take anymore so I thought the ol dslj was worth a shot :)
apologies for the extended explanations for something so minimal!

I cannot lend you my earbuds but...

I have a few toothpicks I used only once, if you want to borrow them :)

I don't have any to lend out, but there are earbuds out there that are on the cheaper side.

For $10, you can get a decent pair at RadioShack:

I use these at work, and they've served me well.

Try freecycle?

I also have the same issue with my ears, so I hear you on the whole small size ear bud thing. I was majorly pissed when I dropped good money on an ipod and the damn buds don't even fit in my ears.

However, I've been able to find cheap, good earbuds at best buy. Why scrimp on something that goes in your ear? It's not like it's toothbrushes or underpants, things I find great deals on at yard sales.

you really whine so much.

I also have very small ears. the sony over the ears ones work well. 9.99
and the skull candy smokin buds small gels work very well. 9.99

put a cup out on the sidewalk and beg there.

Well, this thread should win a prize for something...

It's kinda surreal, childish, creepy, all at the same time. On top of that, it has the weird ear wax imagery. Absolutely brilliant.

These are never falling out of my ears due to rubber tips -

Sony MDR-ED12LP - in SonyStyle stores under $20.

I have these from Amazon, which are $9.99, and are the tiny kind that go in your ear.

I once bought $2 headphones at Family Dollar. They were comfortable and worked fine and lasted way longer than expected. Only two dollars.
