Earbuds are bad for your hearing

I got custom molded IEMs specifically for this reason when I started working in an open office. They are amazing and are totally comfortable being worn for 8+ hours per day.

I highly recommend them!

Where did you end up getting them from? I’ve seen a flyer from etymotic a while back https://www.etymotic.com/consumer/custom-fit/

I went with https://pro.ultimateears.com/home and have been really happy with them.

I have a buddy that got some Etymotics and he's really happy with them.

Make sure you get a good carrying case for them. I dropped mine when I first got them and had to send them in for repairs. Now I keep them in a pelican case and haven't had any problems.

Oh and DO NOT buy the DIY ear mold kits - go to an audiologist and have them do it. It's not worth messing up your ears.
