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 have met a single digit number of people who prefer hard plastic earbuds over the soft tips. There’s a reason why they’re pretty much the only thing you see in “nice” earbuds.

Have you tried different tips? Apple offers like 5 different sizes because it’s so important to have the right fit. Initially they didn’t fit my ear well, but after a while of trying my ear adapted and now they fit perfectly. Foam is also worth a shot, but they get gross fast.
