One of the most annoying things that a majority of music listeners have to endure day in and day out are their headphones. Since the majority of us have chosen not to splurge on the device, this excluding myself since I went overboard one week and spent a near $200 on a pair, it leaves everyone to put up with the discomfort associated with the majority of them, definitely including the pair that iPods come with. They just never seem to fit right. Although you may have a great pair for the office, those are probably not going to work out if you go to the gym, and sometimes you just don’t want to use your sweaty gym gear in the office. Whether you have Spock syndrome, or if anything irks your earlobe, Koss has brought us one step closer to comfort with their new CC_01 earbuds.

The majority of earbud headphones on the market come with three different sizes for the client; tiny, normal, and freakishly big, and since most normal human beings lose things, sometimes you’re left with a pair that just don’t cut it for your ears. Well, with Koss’ CC_01 earbuds, there’s no ear that won’t feel the comfort. That’s right, even this one. The company has developed earbuds that completely customize to your lobes. The new headphones have expandable and contractible tips, and adjusting them is as easy as unscrewing and screwing the end of the earbuds. These are set to be the snuggest fit on the market with a price tag of $150.

Pros:

- Finally a pair of headphones that your ear won’t have to adjust to.
- Koss has a sound reputation. ; )
- There’s no need to store any extra earbuds with this pair.

Cons:

- $150 is a hefty price tag for earbuds.
- There’s no guarantee that the sound matches the comfort.
- You’ll have to wait until March to get your hands on these.
