Basicly i am sick of being able to hear the environment around me when using my small sony ear phones that lay in the ear. What about developing a cone shape head phone that fits into the ear cutting off any other sounds from entering the ear. E.g Ear plug with speaker. This will mean that you can listen
to music without overhearing the environment around you and not having to wear them stupid earmuff headphones.

Makers of various forms of earplug headphones. As I never tire of pointing out, they work amazingly well and kick your average noise-cancelling headphone's ass. If it had one. [jutta, Feb 01 2005]

That's baked. Just watch a clip of a U.N general assembly meeting or Canadian Parliament. They have little cone-shaped "ear plugs" to hear the translation of what someone is saying. Hell I have a set of those that came with the first commercial Walkman. |

I'm voting for (whether baked or not - they should be compulsory), but purely fmro the point of view of being the person sitting next to you and your headphones, trying to mind their own business |

My parental units would never allow such odd earth-culture. Let us now consume mass quantities... |

Very baked... radioshack sells several pairs of these with everything from cones to special "morphing" rubber inserts that conform to your ear canal. |
