Hi Lynn, Yep; I hate them too for that very reason. Because they described these as "earphones" though, and because it sounds like there's a framework of some kind holding the earbud in front of the ear canal, I'd say these must not be typical earbuds, but more like earbuds on a frame going over your head (or possibly hooking on the ear). It's a problem if you're totally blind, and you need to be moving about, or have some other reason that you want to hear sounds from your environment, at the same time as you need to listen to audio for some reason. It's why I buy the Sennheiser (sp?) headphones, because they sit so lightly on the ear they let a lot of environmental noise through. I'm probably going to give Sendero a call and ask about these earbuds, and if they work as I am guessing, I'll order a pair and let TABI know how they work out.
