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.

Yes, I mean who doesn’t?

clearly me. lol

they don’t fit, get extra dirty, the tips get lost making you pay more later.

I was just curious about the general consensus and it feels like it’s near 40/40/10. with the 10 being those that detest all earbuds

You should try a type called silicone foam ear tips. They are like a hybrid of memory foam and silicone. They seal way better but not too much and are more comfortable than either option to me. I used a brand called diofit, but I would guess more brands make them. I ended up using every size in the set just to avoid going back to regular silicone and they all worked pretty well. I should just buy a new set, but I kept thinking these headphones would die soon with how much I use them.
