Nothing ear sticks, absolutely perfect fit for my ears as I can't stand the silicon tips. I should find spares..

I quite like them actually. Personally have the Ear stick which are discontinued now if I'm not mistaken and they sound pretty good.

Yea I feel u! And tbh the only nothing product worth anything are the ear a and 3 as well as the Headphone 1. Everything else they make is just fluff and will turn out to be a bitter disappointment. I currently in the process of getting my Ear 2024 model replaced and I only got it in July of last year. Safe to say I won't even be opening the replacement box. That thing is going straight to Maeketpalce

Me again! 🤣 The only buds that have ever fit my ears good and actually stayed in when active are the OG airpods, the Pixel Buds A Series and the Nothing Ear Sticks. The OG Airpods were the best. Most times I wouldn't even realize they were still in my ears lol.

These are 3 buds I have actually (outside of my Jaybirds that I use for heavy workouts, or long runs), and honestly the AZ100s after dialing them in offer the best overall soundstage and bass imho, and I’m a bass head too. Crazy $ though. I have some Senn HD600s that I love for playing along to music on the drums, and practicing, and thought I’d like the M4s a lot, and while I don’t dislike them, they don’t quite deliver compared the Technics. I do tend to use them more though because of fitment, as they just take to my ear canals a bit better than the Technics. NEs I really love for the $, especially if you use the bass boost. If that’s your budget, I’d honestly give them a shot, although as others have said, their ANC isn’t spectacular. But still, very affordable and good performing buds that pretty much give you what they promise for the price point. Honestly my biggest issue with this style bud is the control on the arm. More often than I’d like, it disrupts the fit slightly when I reach up to adjust anything with my sausage fingers. But that’s probably just me.
