(Tucked away) In the comments to a a related question we were being told
Yet, many colleagues claim that (my beloved) B&O are not the run-of-the-mill in-ear devices since they have their very own EaseFit™ ear-hook design. However, they are being sold as in-ear devices (and, as such, would of course be a potential health hazard). I am not sure about it but since quite a few colleagues have now switched to B&O I was wondering if it made sense to bump this one up a bit. |

I'm a big fan of B&O's because they allow me to turn the volume button down. My ear doctor has confirmed to me that high-quality earphones are vital to somebody like me who spends around 120 to 130 days in the booth every year and has been doing so for years. It doesn't take a wizard to hear that the B&O's are far better than the run-of-the-mill earphones offered my employer. Plus they are adjustable - and now come in colours (B&O product development department: please add pink!). Hyvää huomenta Sirpa & Thnx for sharing this info from your ENT specialist! I feel reassured now. I hadn't been entirely sure because I don't notice a massive difference between the position of the B&O and regular earphones but maybe that little bit of extra clearance afforded by the ear-hook design is all it takes. Kiitos!

...hi again, Tanja, we must stop meeting like this ;-)! Well... I've always divided headphones as follows:
...and I see B&O, despite fitting inside the outer ear and insofar as they don't go in the ear canal, as a refinement of the second type...therefore - I hope :-) - avoiding the harm described by Claudia and still using the natural amplification properties of the auricle. |
