Alors pour palier ce cruel manque, une entreprise américaine vient de lancer le Whoomp un accessoire étonnant, qui va transformer vos ordinaires écouteurs en de véritables In-Ear (intra-auriculaire) en clipsant simplement cette sorte d’appendice dessus.

I didn't see anything in particular about int'l shipping. Wayne-Comply is apparently a division of 3M that works with foams. the tips are made of the same sort of foam that disposable earplugs are made of, so that makes them pretty adjustable and comfortable. If you take the time to figure out the instructions (which I finally did the second time I tried) they fit very snugly. I'll admit it's been awhile since I first tried these and when I posted the review, so I tried them again today while working in the yard. They were comfortable and secure. They remove very easily, but stay affixed pretty well while in use. CraziestGadgets-Self-restraint is what separates us from the animals.

Do they come in different sizes or is it one size fits all? How are they at staying in your ear. One of my pet peeves with my Bose in-ear buds is that they always feel like they're about to fall out. I just never found a way to keep them securely in place. Once these are on the end of the earbud, are they tough to get off (I'm worried more about losing them) As soon as I saw these I thought – what a great idea.
