these ear-bud -lrb- ? -rrb- plug be perfect for those of we that can not stand the typical ear-bud that come with most audio product . you know , the one that constantly fall out or shift around . these sound great and the end on these be just like the ear plug you will find in a factory or hunting\/sports store gun dept. . you squeeze\/roll the foam , quickly insert into ear canal , hold in place for a few and they expand , do . they be very comfortable and stay in place . my wife wear hers to bed since I have a snore problem , lol . she listen to one of those `` ocean sound '' cd 's or something similar . look around on here and for the price buy a few pair , just in case , or one for home , work , travel ... the phono end be gold , also . the only thing I be concern with be the wire . it be very , shall we say , flexible . well , they be not parachute strap so it should not be a problem .
