I really appreciate the heads up! But I actually pretty much want them for the "situational awareness". I feel like I understand the expectations for audio quality. I'm not very much an audiophile, especially for what I'm trying to get out of them.

I work in a pretty quiet environment that only gets really noisy if there's a situation that needs to be handled. So I wanna be able to hear the alarms and would be pausing my podcast/whatever if I need to respond. And I also like the way it seems to fit and stay in place. It seems like a great fit for what I'm after, I just hope I'm not unlucky enough to be too sensitive to the vibrations. I kinda doubt it would be an issue, but that's my (small) main concern... would I stop using them 6 months later because I can't get used to it

Should I get the "pro" version for better quality, or stay away because it could be too much bass/vibration (even at lower volume)

But I've seen a few people at work with them, and they love them... and a few others have tried, but can't deal with the vibrations

So I've been torn. I'm probably gonna try them cause they check almost every box for what I'm looking for. But should I get the pro version? Would it be too much? Idk, and I could maybe try them from a co-worker, but I feel like I would have to spend time with them before knowing what I like. Just kinda wanna buy the right kind, if I'ma throw the money at it
