Anyone have any suggestions for someone like me that has small ears? My wonderful husband bought me a ipod today, and the earbuds are WAY TOO big for my little ears. I bought some sony headphones but they are too big too. So I am on the hunt for another pair, also I would love to get a pair that actually matches, so white or grey would be ideal. Thanks!

I love my Panasonic clip-on headphones. They're the only style I like.

You might have to get a pair of miniature studio-like headphones...

lipstick.smears · Aug 2, 2003, 03:39 AM

Yeah the sony's that I got are the clip on type, I dont want anything that looks real bulky since the iPod is so small

I will keep an eye out for the panasonics, thanks for the suggestion

My heart goes out to you, seriously. For example; I have to buy size 14" shoes. You don't realize what a pain in the butt that is. I can't just go to K-Mart and get the cheapo brands. NOOOOOO I have to dig through boxxes and boxxes of shoes and when I actually do find a pair of size 14"s they're usually butt ugly.

Don't get me started on pants.

BasketofPuppies · Aug 2, 2003, 05:39 AM

Stalker.

Powaqqatsi · Aug 2, 2003, 05:49 AM

Perv.

Check out the Sony MDR-EX70 or EX71. They come with 3 different sizes in the box and they go IN your ear so that won't be a problem.

IceEnclosure · Aug 2, 2003, 06:51 AM

BasketofPuppies... hardly.

Powaqqqepquirerjti.... pretty close.

Hehe, just kidding.

those hands manage to annoy a lot of people, though. try not using them for a while, especially in the keyboard department. you idiot.

Hehehehe, go Apple!

Paco500 · Aug 3, 2003, 11:40 AM

If you are looking for actual help- I would suggest the periphials forum.

Well, actually, instead of a bunch of chest thumping about "foot" size, you will end up with a bunch of chest thumping about "tweeter" size- they take their audio equipment a bit too seriously over there- but you are more likely to get at least some advice over there.

I don't know man, I think she's going for the 31337 by her name like me. I'd much rather be 31337 than "Addicted" to MacNN.

LOL... I know a kid just like you!!

His feet always look rediculus... but he can't help it!!!

He had what looked like cinderblocks on his feet.

I'm laughing out loud just thinking about it.

Sucks though. There are specialty stores (though expensive.) Any luck in those?

I have small feet like my father, wear a size 13 which is small for someone that is 6' 8" . My hands are large with long slender fingers!

Zimphire · Aug 4, 2003, 01:30 AM

I knew a guy who used to go to forum from forum acting like a different girl. He had a private site only his friends could view. It was a log of all the pathetic emails, private message, and such he has gotten from desperate males trying to hook up with girls on the net.

I read threw some and most were really pathetic and transparent.

I knew this one gal that got men to send her THOUSANDS of dollars without even meeting her. Said she was almost destitute with a kid, trying to get a college degree, etc. These 50 year old men would send her tons of money out of pity/hardons in their pants. She was nice looking but dang, how gullible do you have to be? I would sit there and read some of the things the guys were saying. I really didn't feel sorry for them at all. It was obvious most were sexual predators with money.

She just knew the game better than they did.

Lots of this silly stuff going on on the web so be careful who you pvt message and or email.

You might get it on a web page for people read and laugh at you.

Do you have the newer iPod, which came with slightly smaller ear buds (and remote)? If not, you can buy them sepreate. Maybe that will help. And feel free to start a new post in Peripherals. I'm afraid this thread is woefully off course, and sadly, I don't think anything is going to bring it around again.
