"Great part is that model of earbud is relatively cheap to stock up on in case you have a habit of misplacing them like I do."

"I only need to charge it once a week even though I use it for 7-8hr per day"
"due to their shape they fit compactly in the charger which fits in a small jeans watch pocket ... these last almost 8 hours per charge ... using one bud at a time and swapping I can listen to audiobooks for about 3 days"
"Battery life lasts all week for me since I switch out using one bud at a time, but I think they have like 30h of battery if using both."

"They sound terrible"
Haven't tried any tozo products so can't talk for them but maybe try baseus mc1?before you do I recommend emailing soundcore support and talking about how your c30i broke at the connection. The c30i notorious for breaking at the connection. That's what they focused on fixing with their c40i and aeroclip (which I love). I used to use a c30i and they broke at the connection. I emailed their support and they immediately sent me a replacement. They also broke but still work though lmao.
Nah the c30i are great and all but they are poorly built and fragile. One wrong drop and they crack instantly. Np!
Anker Soundcore C30i for when i am around others but want to be able to hear what's going on around me. Anker Soundcore Life Q30 when i want total immersion, HyperX when i need chat or just want to go wired, and if i am playing in bed after my wife is asleep, i use a MusicCozy bluetooth sleep mask for comfort. https://preview.redd.it/s7al9dh2meuf1.jpeg?width=3060&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ff25796b5402bc95629c08d8645e7fd68e593039
I really like my Soundcore C30i by Anker. I was originally interested in the Bose Ultra Open Wireless Earbuds and thought these Anker headphones were similar enough at a fraction of the price. They are open ear and feel a lot more secure than regular earbuds that go inside your ear canal. I've never had a problem with them falling out. They are my go-to headphones except when I want noise cancelling. I can wear them for hours because they are so comfortable.
I love my Tozo Open Ears! I also have the Huawei Free Clip and the Soundcore C30i Clip, but the Tozos are my go to. They are so comfortable that I forget I am wearing them and they have a great battery life. No wireless charging, but they don‘t need to be charged very often!
Here are the ones I’ve tried. Shokz- great headphones. It sits next to your ear rather than over. Forever tethered and that can get annoying, especially if you’re wearing a high collared shirt. Shokz now has a non tethered version - I always see them returned at REI so do with that information what you will. Beats headphones - the ones that have an arm that go around your ear. I put the clip over my ear then let it dangle in front of my canal. If I want total block of ambient, I put them in like they’re intended. Three different soundcore - all very affordable especially if you get them refurbished on eBay. All controllable sound quality and controls through their app. Super super long battery life. I think I’m a soundcore person now, the ROI is just much higher with these considering their price, the way I use them, and my perceived sound quality. 1. Soundcore c30i (there are upgraded versions of it) - I really liked these they rest on the flappy part of your ear and project the sound towards the ear canal. Great sound and control. less than $50 cheap. 2. Soundcore v30i. Love these, they’re the older model but I like these because they adjust on the arm itself so you can make it more or less ambient to outside sound. Sits on top of the ear. Also less than $50 if you get them refurbished. I use these at home. 3. Soundcore Aerofit pro. I use these for work - people say I sounds great on calls and don’t hear my coworkers (I work in pretty busy and noisy office. Great sound - dare I say too great, I get overwhelmed sometimes. It sits on top of the canal so you can hear if you need to (not adjustable). These ran closer to $100 - even refurbished. They come with a strap if you want to tether them. The battery life on these are crazy - I charge once a week and I’m on those all day 5 days a week between calls and music.
C30i break in the middle very easily. Look for some that doesn't have a joint in the middle of the band
Over-ear are bad because (a) heavy and unbalancing, and (b) you have little awareness of your surroundings. I seem to be posting this once a week now (and I promise I'm not on commission) but I absolutely love my Soundcore C30i earclips for running (I see there are C40i out now, but I've not tried them).
You can try to buy some clip on or hook on style earbuds that don't go in the ear if that is causing any discomfort. Some options I would recommend are the Soundpeats PopClip or Pearlclip Pro. Soundcore also makes some great clips on earbuds that I've tried such as the c30i or c40i. And for hook on earbuds under 100 USD, I would mainly recommend the Earfun openjump.
They are quite large as clip on imo and they don't stay on me well for my smallish ears. Imo the soundcore c30i or c40i stay on better
For the smallest pairs, check out these 3 Shokz OpenDots ONE, Huawei FreeClip, Soundcore C30i. C30i is the cheapest, they're not bad. It's just not as good as the first 2. Huawei also has the FreeClip 2 coming soon. The Shokz sound the best and get the loudest. Both Shokz and and Huawei have great call quality. C30i is terrible for calls.
U can go for Soundcore C30i by Anker, they r water resistant n gud for gym.
