"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 know this gets posted every year or so, but since earbud models change so frequently, old posts aren't very helpful. I can't wear over-the-ear headphones. Every pair I've worn feels like my upper ear cartilage is being pressed into with a knife. I don't think there's any headphones that won't do this, as even sleeping on my ear on a pillow can do it. I don't know if I've only tried earbuds with bad ANC, but I've hated every minute of it. My last pair of earbuds that I liked were Soundcore Spirit Dot 2s, but Soundcore doesn't make any earbuds without ANC now. I don't want transparency mode; I just want no ANC. I currently have a pair of Beats Studio Buds, and they're okay but not very comfortable and not great sound. Wireless is pretty nonnegotiable, as I am not threading an earbud cord down my shirt daily.
r/HeadphoneAdvice • Wireless Earbuds without ANC ->I love my Anker Soundcore earbuds. Drowns out my husband’s snoring! Yet, I could hear Scouts yelling in an emergency
r/BSA • Does anybody have any recommendations for earbuds? ->I have the 2.0 version. Saw the 3 just came out but I am happy with what I have
r/BSA • Does anybody have any recommendations for earbuds? ->+1 for these too! Use them exclusively for running and had no issues with sweat or reliability. I love how they have the over the ear clip which as a runner I need to have for peace of mind to not worry about them falling out of my ear
r/Garmin • Earbuds recommendations? ->Second the soundcore. You get 95% of what the premium brands provide, for 25% of the price. I use the sport ones that have the ear hook so that they stay in while running, walking, or whatever. So comfortable, sounds great.
r/audible • What earbuds do you use? ->I have them too. I have a cheap model but they'll last for a some years. I'm also pretty clumsy and I would hate myself if I dropped more expensive ones in a puddle or lost them in the mud.
r/running • It's time for new earphones, please help with recommendations ->I use anker soundcore sports. They allow ambient noise and have wrap around for my ears. They connect reliably to my garmin. IPX6.8 Hate list- beats sports.
r/XXRunning • To runners, what are the best headphones for running you've tried or heard of so far? ->Ooh. Those must be newer. I may have to switch.
r/XXRunning • To runners, what are the best headphones for running you've tried or heard of so far? ->I’ve really enjoyed my anker soundcores.
r/Marathon_Training • Best running earbuds ->I use the anker soundcore sport. You can have them on adaptive or ANC.
r/running • It's time for new earphones, please help with recommendations ->I use anker soundcore sport that has the wrap around. I sweat too much for nothing going around my ear.
r/beginnerrunning • Earbuds for running – struggling with Bose QC Ultra staying in ->I hated the beats I had. They were horrible. Never charged right. Bluetooth would cut out. I like my anker soundcore sport. They have a piece that wraps around my ear and transparency mode works.
r/XXRunning • headphones! 🎧 ->I have some Anker Soundcore earpods and they have a lot of audio presets one is for podcasts and works brilliantly for audiobooks. You just select the preset on the app.
r/audible • What earbuds do you use? ->I used these since they are so cheap for a long time. I was bothered by the silicone wing piece constantly sliding off. I upgraded to raycon fitness earbuds. My main issue is comfort and staying in the ear, and I refuse to spend 200 for earbuds.
r/audible • What earbuds do you use? ->I was honestly surprised by anker soundcore. My wife stole my Buds live so I got her soundcore. They are surprisingly good for their price.
r/S22Ultra • Seeking best earbuds for cancelling noise - what is your pick? ->I was skeptical about wireless earbud until I got some. I have a cheap anker soundcore set that I use for podcasts, and the Nothing Ear 1 that has amazing sound.
r/MotoG • Which wireless earbuds are you using for the Moto G Stylus, 2024? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
