What’s a pair of earbuds that won’t obliterate my ears? (lemmy.world)

I have really small ears and ear canals, and AirPods Pro’s are generally uncomfortable (both 2 and 3). They also suck at staying in my ears which defeats the purpose of them being gym buds as well. I’ve tried all kinds of ear tips to no avail. I vastly prefer headphones but unfortunately I have a hair type that gets ridiculous looking headphone lines in it when I wear them. So here I am. I’m hoping for comfort and then features next. ANC would be nice if it’s good, otherwise I guess I might consider wired if I can get much better sound. AirPods don’t sound great when I’m used to my HD 6XX lol.

I use the Soundcore v30i. They dont go in the ear itself - they loop around the back of the ear and are very light. I wear them for 7 hours a day most days and often forget they are on.

I dont know much about sound quality ratings, but I rather like them! (They are also pretty cheap and the battery life is quite good)
