Earbud question: Does anyone actually like to silicone tipped earbuds over the solid plastic ones? - Lemmy.ca

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. photo examples.

I don’t really wear earbuds because I don’t actually like either style. The hard plastic ones are uncomfortable after 10-20 minutes for me and don’t stay in my ears. The soft tip ones get really gross and are difficult to clean well, but a decent pair comes with different sizes of tips to better fit my ears.

I have over-headphones that I like, but many of them tend to be uncomfortable after a few hours. I’ve actually come to really like my bone conduction earbuds for general listening because it just rests on my temples with minimal pressure and there’s nothing in my ears. They have pretty solid quality, but not audiophile-grade or anything like that.
