They work on the premise that they are so tiny, they never block the ear
canal, meaning that you can always hear what's going on around you, be that
traffic, children or your adoring fans cheering you on. Now I've always had
a far cheaper alternative - the crappy free iPod headphones let in so much
external noise that you can hear a pin drop. The EarHeroSport is very
low-profile though, and lets you pose as a bouncer/ spy.

I just ordered a pair from air hero - they should be with me some time
next week.
I will probably use them on holiday as they are nowhere near as good
as the Sennheiser IE8 phones that I usually have in my ears.
