Now I remember why I prefer over-the-ear headphones

Nothing really wrong with these - they sound great, are easy to use, charge wirelessly, have decent range and were a hell of a lot cheaper than AirPod Pros (I think I paid $36 with a 20% off coupon). The problem? Shoving something inside my ears makes my ears, especially the left one, itch like crazy.

Maybe I’ll get used to it. There is something to be said for small little devices instead of full headsets, especially when walking around.

I’m definitely pro earbud, though I do have a bit of this sentiment:

I’ve got some that hook over the ear which works a bit better, but the lesser bulk of the less secure types is appreciated.

I hate wireless headphones. It’s just one more thing to have to charge. I’ve been using the same pair of $20 Sennheiser earbuds for like six years.

My left ear hole is smaller than my right ear hole. Things get unbalanced.

That’s why I wear something like this, wires and all. I hate having things stuck in my ears, and the buds fall out all the time.

I have true wireless buds I use for working out. The regular rubber tips slipped around in my ears too much so I replaced them with these winged ones that conform to the ridges outside the ear canal. They stay in even while I get super sweaty on the treadmill.

I don’t like things in my ears either. Over the ear cans are best for listening to music, but for sheer convenience and comfort, I’ve been using my Aftershokz pretty much exclusively.

try bone conduction headphones if you are looking for casual use. N othing in or on your ears and you can hear what’s going on around you. I have the Aftershokz Aeropex. You can find cheaper but these are the best I’ve found. I wear them all day at work and forget they are on.
