ordered myself some over-ear bt headphones because I had the realization that, hang on, maybe the reason I don't listen to podcasts etc as much as I'd like is that my headphone options are a) sleep headphones, which are great for asmr at bedtime but they're a wide headband which is annoying to wear during the day, or b) corded
@ehyde non-corded headphones are exactly what revolutionized my ability to listen to podcasts! I hope the new headphones work great for you too
@soph_sol for a while I had a decent pair of earbuds but I never got used to the feeling of them in my ears, and then I lost one of them anyway
@ehyde my bluetooth headphones are earbuds bc it's important for me to be able to take them with me unobtrusively, and to listen with only one ear, but my current pair are NOT good at staying in my ears, unlike my previous pair. but my previous ones were very bad at maintaining connection with their case for recharging in a way that seems like a design flaw. so I am still lacking the perfection I seek

@soph_sol @ehyde Feel that in my soul. I have 2.5 pairs of BT earbuds. I got the second set because I lost the right earbud from the first set (hence .5) - a more recent model from the same company, but the fit is SO disappointing. The first pair fit so well! I still use the single left one pretty regularly when I need to leave one ear open anyway.

The third set is one that hooks over the ear. I still prefer the fit of the original set, but they work pretty well.
