The same principles actually apply to bras and camisoles as well, where thinner straps are often more uncomfortable, because they don't distribute the weight as much and can shift more often.>i have to be at volume 100 constantly in order to hear anythingEither the headphones are genuinely shitty or prolonged earpod use has damaged your hearing. I never liked using in-ear plugs, they never fit comfortably into my ear, so i moved away from them as soon as i could.
