Used to be earbuds, but I've become allergic to the rubber on the buds. So I can't use them as much anymore. I've switched to speakers for things I don't care about the audio quality, and those bulky headphones for stuff I do care about. I don't use speakers in public and I can hardly be bothered to carry those massive headphones when I go out though. Hate them. Earbuds sound so much better.
Have you tried these tips? https://www.complyfoam.com/
No, I didn't even know such a thing existed. Thanks for the suggestion, I might try them!
I don't know whether they will help with your issues, but for me they're much more comfortable and the better seal they provide means I get better sound quality.
It's a good starting point for me. I find them a bit pricey though, consideration they say they last about 3 months. Is that the case for you too or you use them for longer?
They last way longer than that, although I should probably switch them out more often than I do.
Three pairs can easily last a couple of years if you don't have grubby ears.
