earphones

There are a few things that Steve buys a lot of. Shoes, shirts, and earphones for his ipod. Right now, sitting on the shoe rack by the front door, are 4 pairs of tennis shoes. He has so many shirts that there isn't enough room in his small (very small) closet. But the earphones are what could drive him crazy.

Steve has invested in some good quality earphones. I got a little upset that he would spend, what to me is a lot of money, on earphones. They break all the time. But Steve likes comfort, so when he hears of good sound with great comfort, he wants them. So when we were in America he bought some nice earphones. That was less than three months ago. They have now been broken for about a month. He is back to using the old Walkman style headset with added cushion from a handkerchief he wrapped around the ear piece.

He has tried the kind of earphones that you stick farther in your ear, then the kind that are soft and cushy that go around your ear. There is the kind that hook over your ear, or the kind that comes with the ipod that just sits in your ear. Nothing is perfect and nothing seems to last long. In the end, earphones are just plain earitating.
