Does Apple Really Expect This Thing To Stay In My Ear?!

Apple iPhone Bluetooth HeadsetThe Apple iPhone Bluetooth Headset has been released into the wild and people are unboxing them and using them all over the Internet. I have absolutely NO desire to buy one, even though I know it would work with the iPhone swimmingly.

Does Apple really expect this thing to stay in my ear?!

Sure, I’ve seen those Apple commercials with people dancing and gyrating wildly with Apple earbuds. The earbuds stay in their ears because they are ANIMATED, not because they are real.

Are there that many people out there whose ear cavities can support the earbuds, much less the headset?

Am I alone in this?

Do those Apple earbuds work for the majority of the population and I’m just sporting mutant ears? I would blame my ears if there weren’t so many companies out there making different earbuds. Does Apple not care about the customers with “weird” ears?

Of course, I don’t recommend this option either…

V-Moda Vibe Duo Earbuds at Amazon.comI guess the best bet is to go with a wired headset that’s made for ears like mine like the V-Moda Vibe Duo Earbuds. They have buds that will work with my ears, a microphone for talking on the phone and they aren’t white. I see white earbuds everywhere and I just want to be the one person on the street who doesn’t have a pair of white wires handing from her head.

The worst part is that I feel a little betrayed by Apple. They went to all that trouble making the cellphone of my dreams and didn’t bother making earbuds that would work in my ears. Mine are going to end up staying in the original box untouched.
