First, regarding bass. How do tiny in-ear headphones produce bass? I thought the entire point of bass was moving enough air in a room at a low frequency, which requires woofers with a relatively large surface area with powerful drivers behind them. How do little in-ear 'phones produce bass? Is it easier for them because the "room" to which they're playing is very small (your ear)?
Second, is it bad to walk around all day with only one headphone in, with the other hanging out? I wear my iPod at work, and I need people to be able to talk to me, but I don't want to constantly be taking both my 'phones in and out, so I've just been leaving one side in all the time. Will this have any effect on the way I hear stuff if I do it for too long? I have a strong feeling that it won't make a damn bit of difference, but I just want to be sure. Never can be too safe when it comes to your hearing.
