Any one know if these will work on the Yuin earbuds?

Hey Garrett,

I just got PK-1s and I love them. An idea I have always thought about trying is wearing some of those giant hearing protection muffs right over the ear-buds. Something like the shotgun protectors here:

I wonder if they can be worn comfortably over the ears with the PK-1s in the ears. I don't like the intrusiveness of canal phones (that's why I got ear-buds in the first place). But I ride the subway and the rails scraping against the wheels and all the noise can approach very, very high levels, so I was thinking about solutions.

I plan on going somewhere to try some of these muffs out. I will post my findings here if I ever get it done.

I've worn muffs over my pk1's (and other small headphones) and it works fine. Make sure you get a model with a large enough inner diameter, as some tend to be more narrow.

why would anyone use these with the ipod stock buds?

Because they're white and anything would make them sound better?

Seriously though, these look interesting. I bought some Griffin EarJams a while back at Comp USA and tried 'em both with the PK1 and PK2 and all it did was muddy up the sound: the bass was bloated and the highs were severely rolled off. The tips reminded me of the Sony EXxx series and was comfortable, but like I said, I didn't care for the sound. I wonder how those Comply-tipped attachments sound?
