NOW THEY’RE ‘WORKING OUT’ GREAT!
I love my Earhogs™, but to be honest, after I first purchased them I hated them, because I didn’t custom fit the headphone covers to my ears. I finally spent the time to find the set of covers that fit my ears and now they fit perfectly. (Earhogs™ come with 5 different sizes in all, foam and silicone)
Before we spent the time to find the headphone covers that fit and utilized the adjustment sliders, they just felt bulky.
We finally tried the different size covers and found the large foam ones that fit my ears perfectly. I also moved the adjustment sliders, one behind my neck, and put them over my head like in the diagram.
So after actually spending the time to unpackage everything, I found the bud covers that fit my ears well. Now I am extremely happy with the fit. My wife also likes them and
I actually look forward to wearing Earhogs when I work out.
While working out I’m always taking one out, but because of the around-the-neck cord design, it’s always there on my shoulder and not hanging down and getting tangled in my arms. Now it’s really easy to grab the bud and put it back in my ear.
The cotton wrapped cord is really nice because it doesn’t get tangled into knots. Also wires don’t tend to short out as with other brands I’ve used. I wear my iPod on my arm while working out.
With Earhogs™ the angle jack doesn’t’ stick down into my arm, bend the wire and short out like other earbuds. I often have people at the gym ask me where they can get a pair.
Two weak spots I always noticed with other headphones is that the jack is always getting bent back and the wires always break going into the earbud part because of the thin wire. I used to go through a least two pairs of headphones a year.
The sound of the Squealers is fantastic and I love the volume control on the wire so I don’t have to fumble grabbing for my iPod.
Initially, I was concerned about the extra cost from cheap earbuds but will gladly pay the extra 10 to 20 bucks next time. If I hadn’t tried them I might not have picked them. But with the unique cord style, jack and volume control its well worth the extra cost. I will definitely buy Earhogs again if these wear out.
