easy way to tell l and r ear buds

[dj bill]

if your like me ,I always have to look at the l and r on my er-6.for some reason I always have to flip them.easy fix is on the r one just make a small knot with a loop.never guess again.

 

[dcarver]

i bet you knot your right ear

 

[dj bill]

Have you ever noticed:

We have 2 ears. Right and Left.

There are two ear buds. Right and Left.

That means there should be a 50/50 chance of getting them on right. However 90% of the time they are backwards. WTF, over??!!

Who's going to remind me which one I put the knot in? Sticky note on windshield might work, when I can remember where I parked.

So, just curious. What happens when they go in the other ear? I can't tell the difference with my Ertomics. However I can tell with my westone customs.

I used a little red fingernail polish. Red = Right.

For me, if they go in the wrong ear they don't fit right.

Good stuff. I'm a bit of a sound purist. Gotta keep the L and R channels straight.

The music is backwards, and you hear Satanic messages!

But that will makes the notes come out of the knotted one with a delay compared to the unknotted one. Right?

For all my custom molded ear monitors (where L/R fitment is required) I have the right one colored red when being made.

That wasn't a knot. It was a bump on the back of your head.

 

[Brodie]

Easy decision for my custom moulded ear buds,

Red = Port

Green = Starboard

Now you can tell whether I am coming or going.

I thought starboard was right (the one with the most Rs in it).

I didn't know Don Knotts (or you for that matter) swung that way...

[WipingHands]so the starboard plug should be RED.[/WipingHands]

Now that we've fixed that...

Nope. Going by the running light orientation on a boat, the starboard light is green. The port light is red.

Running lights never took into consideration red/green color blindness.
