5千円以下の安価な外国製品ばかり使ってきた自分には、イヤホンにあまりいい思い出がありません。付け心地がよくなかったり、操作性に不満があったり、ケースへの出し入れがしにくかったりと、不満ばかりでしたが、値段相応とあきらめていました。今回購入したagのイヤホンは、それらの点全てをクリアしてくれています。価格は少しだけ高め(6,980円)ですが、満足感はその差をはるかに超えています。
I’ve used only cheap foreign earbuds, which cost less than five thousand yen, so far, and I don’t have good impressions of them. Some were uncomfortable to wear, some were troublesome to operate, and some had difficulty in taking in and out of the case, so I was frustrated with them but also gave up on them because they were so cheap. I bought a pair of earbuds produced by ag and I found it free from those troubles I mentioned above. The price (6,980 yen) is a little bit more expensive than the former ones, but I'm more than satisfied with them.
エビ中とのコラボで制作されたイヤホンは3種類です。ラインナップは安本彩花さんと柏木ひなたさんによるTWS06R-YK、星名美怜さん、中山莉子さんによるTWS07R-HN、真山りかさん、小林歌穂さんによるTWS06R-MKです。自分が購入したのは安本彩花さん・柏木ひなたさんデザインの機種でした。スペックは以下の様になっています。
They produced three types of earbuds in collaboration with Ebichu. The lineup of them is as follows: TWS06-YK by Yasumoto Ayaka and Kashiwagi Hinata, TWS07R-HN by Hoshina Mirei and Nakayama Riko, and TWS07R-MK by Mayama Rika and Kobayashi Kaho. The one I bought is the model by Yasumoto Ayaka and Kashiwagi Hinata. The following is its specification.
もちろん、数万円の機種に比べられるようなスペックではありません。でも、ノイズキャンセリングや高音質にこだわりのない自分にとっては、このスペックで十分だし、数値には出ない日常使いでの利便性の方がむしろ重要です。
Needless to say, the functions are not to be compared with the high-end models that cost about twenty or thirty thousand yen. However, I don’t care for such functions as noise canceling, high quality sound, and so on, so I’m satisfied with the specification and what matters for me is the convenience in daily use, which is difficult to quantify.
まずは付け心地です。これは個人の耳の形状によるため、一概に言えないこととは思いますが、自分にとっては、装着した瞬間のフィット感がまず違います。外れにくいというのもありますが、就寝時にも、装着したままポッドキャストの英会話などを聴いている自分にとっては、長時間つけていても疲れないというのがポイントです。ゴムの形状や、軸の太さがよく設計されているうえに、重さが丁度いいように感じます。また、これまでのイヤホンは、眠っている間に外れて行方不明になることがよくありました。このイヤホンについては、転がりにくい形状と目立つ色合いで、その心配は全くありません。

First of all, let me tell you my impression of how comfortable it is to wear. I’m sure I shouldn’t make a generalization about that feeling because it depends on the shape of one’s ear, even so it is certain that the earbuds are definitely a snug fit for me. They won’t come off easily, and another good point for me, who always sleeps wearing the earbuds to listen to English conversation on podcast, is they won’t make me tired even if I wear them for a long time. The shape of the mould and the size of the stem for it are designed well, and on top of that the weight of the earbuds may be just right. Plus the old earbuds that I used before often went somewhere to get lost after coming off my ears while I was sleeping. As for the new earbuds, with its shape that won’t allow them to roll around and the eye-catching color, that kind of accident won’t happen.
