Recommend some great/cheap earbuds that are NOT sound-isolating ?
Can anyone recommend some great earbuds that are not sound isolating? The shures are interesting (nice looking), but I don't want to isolate a lot of sound. I prefer something that sits in the ear, not into the canal. Any suggestions? sub-$100 preferable.- badtz
