Tired of paying good money for head phones I cut then glued earplugs onto cheap earbuds. The end result looks and works well!

Did you let the glue dry before putting them in your ears?

What did you use to cut the holes and stuff?

(I have a mental image of a drill press and some very careful work...)

After tapping a nail with a hammer for a \"starter hole\" a round wood file widens the hole.

Did you have them in or out of the ears when tapping nails through and filing?

Duh! Of course.

So in eh? Explains a few things... I guess it was easier to hold them with the ears which leaves both hands free. Nostrils would have worked too.
