David, the only problem you might encounter has to do with the little rubber
bands on the tips of the speakers. I'm pretty rough with headphones, and after
a while, the little bands get knocked off and lost. The fix for this though,
is to replace the bands when they get lost with the kind of partial covers that
come on ear buds like APH provides with the Bookprort. They fit propperly, and
don't fall off, at least they haven't for me.... Yet.

.I just bought a set of these at Wal-Mart and like them very much. When I
.took them out of the package they seemed so light and unsubstantial that I
.thought, "Oh, no! What did I get these for?" but they're wonderful. Quite
.portable and non-invasive. They're also louder than you'd expect. Best of
.all, they truly cause very little discomfort.
