Earbuds that let us exercise without worrying about losing them, and without the need to adjust them constantly, are really a gamechanger! I got the Huawei Freeclip 2, and they are honestly one of the best purchases I made in the last few years. The reason I'm saying this is because they have a similar price to the Openfit 2+ (cheaper actually), and they have an amazing battery life, and you literally forget you are using them, because they are so small and light.
OnePlus Buds 4 is generally good universal for most cases. But for using in bed, listening before falling asleep while not falling off, these days I actually really like clip-on style earbuds. There are a lot of them and I'm sure there are some great budget ones like Baseus or Soundcore AeroClip, but I really like Huawei Freeclip 2 or Shokz Opendots One, but both are relatively expensive and such open type earbuds are also compromise in m ay ways. That way if possible I would use 2 different types, but that can get expensive.
Huawei Freeclip 2 is definitely the best. Older Freeclip is still good enough if a mailable for a good price. Shokz Opendots One is close second - good sound but not as comfortable as Huawei. Just keep in mind that open style earbuds are not good for noisy environments.
First gen Huawei Freeclip. Very comfortable, good sound and excellent mic. It was expensive, but prices are quite good now when second gen model is out.

The Huawei Freeclip 2 are excellent and very lightweight, available in 3 colors. The Huawei earbuds use Bluetooth, or you can download the Huawei AlLife app to access a wide range of settings and updates.
Plus one for the FreeClips 2 and that’s coming from a bass head. For the price the quality and battery life is wild
Fair enough. I am on iPhone so don’t benefit from LDAC. I am fussy about bass and was sceptical about open buds however these have been a delight. It’s your comment about the looks that surprises me tho as I think the metal look and feel of these make them seem like jewellery/piercings and more fashionable than an unfashionable person like me is comfortable with 😆 I will look through your other recs as I have the open bug now!
I used to have trouble wearing headphones for more than 45 minutes, and I'd tried over 20 different models. I have the Huawei Freeclip 2, and it's incredible how comfortable they are!
For at home or quick walks nearby, I honestly don’t think anything beats them. Touch controls are solid too. The head gestures are a bit hit-or-miss (though that also means they don’t trigger by accident much). I play basketball pretty often, and they still don’t fall off, which is reassuring. On the train they’re definitely harder to hear, and they can catch a bit when taking off a mask. Also, they’re so light that you sometimes forget you’re wearing them—might be a pro or a con depending on the person.
