    don't most headphones have a frequency range starting from around 10Hz?

    since these get so stuck inside your ears, and when you pump up the volume, where does all the pressure from these earphone goes.

    What I am saying, is that, Does this thing affects your brain also, after blowing up the wax in your ear canals.???

    #3, the air-tight seal some earphones create is the only way they come close to producing any bass.

    No #1, little earphones like these are seldom if ever honestly rated to go much below 30Hz and tend to either fall off steeply there or be quite distorted if the driver is too flimsy for longer throw.

    thanks, but arent these bad for your ears. I wonder if they can do any damage to your ears... there is no airbypass... like even the shoes have little tiny holes, with that also I got problems, because there is not much air to breathe for the feet.. and so we see another invention like these...
    its probably me, but I think they can hurt the ears real bad...
    any research??

    With any headphone your ears breathe less. With any headphone you are potentially subjecting your ears to excessive volume levels too.

    Unless you never take the things out or never wash your ears you should be fine. Note that earbuds aren't exactly a "new" trend, we don't see everyone complaining about their ears falling off.
