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.
I accidentally put my earbuds though a wash cycle and borrowed some airpods for the gym while waiting for replacements. I don’t understand how a solid one-size-fits all approach can be so popular. With silicone tips you can have different sizes. I actually use a different size for each ear.
I do. The soft silicone ones are much more comfortable in the long run, provided you’re using a size that is right for you.
I physically cannot wear the hard plastic ones. I can tilt my head to one side and they will fall out immediately.
That said, i also have super waxy ears as well so any ear tips (silicone or foam) get disgusting quickly, and its also wet wax so they degrade and also fall out (much slower than the plastic though).
I also struggle with over-ears being too clampy because giant head, so im kinda just fucked on the entire non-speaker audio front. I’ve found sennheisers to be fairly comfy. Beyerdynamic DT-770 are waaaay too clampy and slide around a lot.

I am sure it is the other way. Hard body is fucking terrible at everything. Many report it struggling to hold in the ear canal. They do not have any good noise blocking abilities besides ANC. They hurt some people.
I have not heard from anyone that rubber/foam tips hurt, or have poor noise isolation, or barely hold in ear canal.
