I struggle with the most common sort of buds, those round ones that are supposed to sit tight in your ear, so uncomfortable. My Bose are brilliant (the wired Soundsport) but old and I think beginning to fail. Not sure what to replace them with: I need something for video calls while working at home. I bought some cheap wireless Bluetooth for walking and gardening but they are frustrating beyond belief. Not had them long and one of them seems to have stopped charging, and they keep losing their connection. I imagine music would sound pretty awful through them as well (I just listen to spoken stuff).

Sit in ear quite nicely, great sound, nice wee charging case, pair quickly, no loss of signal. Probably not stable enough for rigorous activity like running (no over ear hangers). G

I have bone conduction (wired unfortunately) but I have a small head so have to wear a bandana to hold closer to head Was considering apple air for indoor use ie not wearing hearing aids so on the turbo weights or yoga

I listen to music/podcasts the sound isn't brilliant but does me. could NEVER get on with buds of any make they ALWAYS fall out. Sennheiser with neck band were ok for in ear.
