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.

    Neither, really. I much prefer the open ear headphones that sit on your ear (not the ones like Sennheiser has with the mesh).

    They stay in place and are light enough that after a minute you don’t even notice them.

      I use some apple 3.5mm earpods for all-day some-nights work, and calls and music. They’re cheap when I catch them in something and they wreck, and no fn batteries.

      I haven’t noticed I’m wearing them, not in years. I think it took a week to get 100% used to them.

        What I like about the open ear ones is that I can still clearly hear what’s going on around me, so it’s great for when I’m working or doing chores. Although I have active noise suppression Bluetooth over the ear headphones for stuff like yardwork.
