No. But someone will doubtless invent a DIY upgrade that will involve
replacing the heads with a different material. Wire wool perhaps ?

If one is going to use buds then why not these buds?

Must be a British thing. I suggest spending a weekend across the North
Sea in Amsterdam to learn how to properly use these kinds of buds.

Marijuana is even legal in some states for medical use, so you don't
have to come over to my country. And, it must have something to do with
medicine if it improves hearing :p

Yup. We got >100 dispensaries here in Vancouver, Canada even though
federally not "exactly" legal...

Cross to Washington State, and feel free to enjoy the recreational
buds...

Not sure how well it treats hearing acuity though :-).

I guess we'll just have to ask Arny to design an ABX test for effects of
recreational marijuana on hearing acuity. I bet that we will have no
shortage of volunteers willing to put up with the annoyances of ABX
testing. And of course there will be those who claim the tests will not
be valid since people smoking marijuana often have issues with short
term memory, as in "Wow that sounds great but was that A or B? And
really man what's the big deal, they both sound awesome!"
