I have really small ears and ear canals, and AirPods Pro’s are generally uncomfortable (both 2 and 3). They also suck at staying in my ears which defeats the purpose of them being gym buds as well. I’ve tried all kinds of ear tips to no avail. I vastly prefer headphones but unfortunately I have a hair type that gets ridiculous looking headphone lines in it when I wear them. So here I am. I’m hoping for comfort and then features next. ANC would be nice if it’s good, otherwise I guess I might consider wired if I can get much better sound. AirPods don’t sound great when I’m used to my HD 6XX lol.

    I really like KZ earbuds because they’re so much better than slop audio consumer equipment but they’re basically giving them away. KZ EDX Pro I got for literally [mathing] 7 or 8 USD (?) and they’re amazing for running

      I can’t believe how good they sound for the money. They are worth carrying around a USB-C DAC for.

    I’ve compared many EarPods over the years, and Bose turned out to be the best (sound and fit). (They have one disadvantage: if you mention Bose, you will immediately get pummeled, it’s a “thing” with some people).

    Not the best solution but can the silicon ear bud part be taken out or replaced? Some in-ear earphones can still stay in place even with the silicon part off but the sound quality might be worse and they are less securely fitted to the ears.
