Wireless earbuds

[maxaroni]

I have the regular Airbuds (not pro) and find them to be uncomfortable. No matter what I do, either they feel like they will fall out if I move, or i push and twist them to the point of hurting. Nothing really feels comfortable and secure. I’ve tried the tricks people say to do to get them to stay in, don’t like the feel. So, what other wireless earbuds are not only comfortable but don’t feel as though they will fall out, or actually fall out? I did read to buy ones that have the rubber earpiece that have several sizes in the package.

Maybe try over the ear earbuds:

I prefer clip on headphones as I don't like anything in my ears:

These are the ones I have. I don't mind the wires. I actually like them as I can find them or move them around together easier.

Airpod Pro has the removable silicone tips and comes with 3 sizes. My left ear fits very well but no matter what I do the right one just doesn't feel as secure (any of the 3 sizes provided). I've done some research and there are 3rd party replacement tips you can try. I'm still trying to find the perfect fit.

That said, these are tons more secure and comfortable than anything else I've tried. I have never been able to wear the hard plastic ones without soft tips.

Air pod pros. They have the black silicone tips. My husband bought some 3rd party tips from Amazon and seems to like those better.

Start at this link for airpod 'hooks' or 'sport wings'

They are the only way I can deal with the airpods.

I actually have both the basic pods and the pros and I have these silicone covers for both. If not they just fall out of my ears. They also now have over the ear hooks and I might actually get some of those as well.

I don’t have any good suggestions because I’ve tried using air pod pros and even those make my ears hurt after 20 min.

I have no recommendations. I am one of those people who simply can’t wear earbuds of any kind because they won’t stay in and don’t feel comfortable. My headphones are old school, over the ear variety, big bulky things. I don’t run around listening to music or watching video on my phone, so it hasn’t been an issue. The closest I have been able to use are the old wired Apple earbuds that came with the iPad before last. At least when one falls out, I don’t lose it. But I only use them occasionally at home.

My DH has the kind that hook over his ears, and he loves them.

I bought cheap wireless buds at Walmart (they were in the cashier checkout lane across from the candy). They sound great and fit great.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I prefer this kind as well. I run and do all sorts of things wearing them and never had a problem with them falling off.

I have Anker Soundcore earbuds I really like:

https://smile.amazon.com/Soundcore-...=p_85:2470955011&rnid=2470954011&rps=1&sr=8-9
They come with "earwings" in 3 sizes and eartips in 5 sizes so lots of options to get a good fit.

I also recommend Airpods Pro. The regular ones wouldn't stay in my ears, but the Pros work well.

Have you tried the new Bone Conduction Headphones. They sit over the ear instead of in them but it sounds like they are in your ear. I got mine at Sams Club "Aftershockz" brand.

I have Bose Soundsport. They have “wings” and fit very snuggly and comfortably in my weird shaped ear canals. Bose is the only type of buds I’ve haven’t struggled with. I’ve done some pretty hardcore workouts with them and have never had them fall out. There is a wire between the ones I have but the Bose Sport are independent with the same design.

We all use soundpeats brand ear buds from Amazon, various models. They work great and are $30-50.

Thank you all for the suggestions. It’s nice to have some “real world” suggestions, as opposed to just reading reviews. I felt like something was wrong with my ears, lol. Was I the only one to have an issue with the Apple ones? I got them for free with the purchase of an ipad several years ago and was so excited. I’ve been struggling with them and finally said these are not for my ears.

Just bought my wife these from Best Buy for $20 and she really likes them. She really enjoys that she can have one bud in and the set changes from stereo to monaural so she doesn't miss anything.

I have two pair from Aftershocks. The Xtrainerz that are waterproof with onboard storage that I use while swimming laps. I liked them so much I got a pair of the Aeropex, their top of the line to use while running, cycling and working in the office. Not the best sound quality but great for still having an idea what is going on around you.

I’m a big Apple fan but the design of their earbuds (which the AirPods follow) has always baffled me. I don’t see how anyone can find them comfortable. Out of our family of five only my DS likes them. He’s quite happy with the AirPods but the rest of us have chosen other brands.

Another vote for bone conduction headphones. I also have the Aftershokz Aeropex and prefer them to anything else. I hate anything in my ears.
