I'm in a complete conundrum - I hate, loath, and detest the whole concept of pushing noise into my ear canal so I can't hear what's going on around me. but, I also don't want to force my music on others. This seems like it would do the latter?
I wish I could find a good comfortable pair of "sports" headphones that are supra-aural so they don't plug up my ear canal, but with a reasonable volume, won't bother others, either.
