1. Ten Minutes In, I Stopped Checking My Ear.

If you have small ears you know the reflex. Two fingers to the ear every few minutes, checking.

Most buds are simply too big to sit in a small ear. They perch, and gravity does the rest. This one is small enough to settle in. I took the stairs two at a time, turned my head on a windy platform. Nothing moved.

Nine pairs had me believing my ears were the problem. They weren't.

2. Thirty Minutes Is Where Every Other Pair Starts to Hurt.

Tip buds stretch the canal. Half an hour in there's a dull ache. Then it's out, back in, out, back in, all afternoon.

These press on nothing. I put them in before my first call and remembered them on the train home.
