Does anyone actually like those silicone tips vs a solid body?

I personally cannot wear the silicone ones. they either fallout, or don’t fit/hurt my ears.

it’s just a royal pain finding the non silicone ones for cheap. it’s just for dog walking. I also don’t do wireless because well… they fall out.

    Have you tried any differently-sized tips? Or aftermarket memory foam ones? The latter basically gives you an absolutely perfect seal, as the foam will softly expand to meet the dimensions of your ear canal.

      Yeah different sizes don’t seem to make a difference, they still fall off. I haven’t tried the foam tips, maybe they’ll work better. Having to buy them extra just to try is a pretty hard sell.

        Yeah, I get that - but you can find some pretty cheap iirc, and if it’s a thing that prevents you from using an otherwise perfectly fine pair of earbuds, it might be worth a shot, especially if it’s just an extra $10 or so.
