Nothing particularly special about these ear plugs except that I liked the name “Ear Holiday.” Even though they’re designed to primarily keep water out, the name really appeals to people hyper-sensitive to irritating noise like me. As you know, there are some sounds that really make to want to jump off Tokyo Tower. Moving quickly up the worst offenders list are those goddam white iPod ear phones. They must have built them with the speakers pointing out of the other side of the ear plugs cause you can hear what people are listening to from 50 metres away. And generally it seems that people listen to the worst music you could imagine. Not saying I listen to anything good either, but I don’t share my love for cheesy ’70s anime tunes with the rest of the world. ;-)
They look uncomfortable as hell. Did you try them?
