I buy ear phones like this for around $20-$30. Sometimes I find them cheaper on sale. I can buy a few for the same price as Apple Air Pods. They never fall off my ears and I don’t care if they break. I can just buy more.

I go headphones

I think my ear holes are just small but ear buds pop out almost instantly and hurt when they’re in.

Ear buds are a scam.. What's the longest you ever had one single pair of ear buds. What's the longest you ever had a single pair of headphones? I say they are a scam, but I do have a theory that they are easier to break or lose so people buy them more than they would headphones..

That’s why I buy them cheap. Most of my ear phones work at least 2-3 months sometimes more. I rotate two $20 pairs. I use them all the time for working outside and exercising.

Grado Gang!!

Currently have the 225e; really tempted to get the new x version.

Those are my main full-size - I think it’s good to have quality IEMs too. For me that’s Etymotic ER-4XR

I was using Apple earbuds but they fall out easily. Plus they don’t drown out the music playing in the health club enough. So I thought these Beats headphones would be a perfect solution. But they are hot and make my ears sweat.


Sport earbuds that loop over your ears. They stay in place while running or working out.

Anyone who works out with headphones looks hilarious

Wired earbuds for working/working out

Wireless headphones for listening to music/relaxing

I've had 1 pair of these for the last 5 or so years. They still work great. They never come close to falling out. If they ever stop working, I'll get the latest version.

Beats

I second the Shokz open run. Bone induction tech works great and nothing making me hot or slipping out my ears.

Shokz, one the best 120 dollars I have ever spent. You can catch them on sale at Best Buy for 75

I hate ear buds, but I can’t keep headphones in my pocket.

Change the earpiece and find one that works best. I use noise-cancelling headphones on the plane and sport headphones for exercise, but earbuds everywhere else for convenience.

I won 500 dollar Air Pod Max headphones last night in a raffle at my company party. Not sure if I'm going to sell them or keep. They seem pretty sweet.
