I have raycon fitness earbuds that have never fallen out while riding or running, but I'm not doing flips or anything.
I found that the most comfortable bids for me include the little "wing" you see in the fitness versions of earbuds. I tried a few cheap 20-40 versions but they tended to break, either the device or the wing piece would and deformed within month or two. I refuse to pay 200 for earbuds. Raycon fitness buds have lasted the longest so far, usually a little over 100 dollars. Im fairly happy with them. You could sleep with them in, if you are a back sleeper, or if you aren't laying on it directly (i.e. solo earbud.) I'm not sure I love the touch functionality, I prefer an actual button I can feel depress, but it's fine for my needs. I will never buy the high-end earbuds, my bank account couldn't handle it.
I use raycon fitness earbuds
Been using fitness raycons I bought 5 years ago. If I want good audio I'll play docked
Actually compare it to other current fitness earbuds... I find this reviewer's review of Raycon true based on my experience as well... [I Tried MORE YouTube Scams: Raycon](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xbt7DuetOOg&t=260s)
Got these via YouTuber Discount, made the leap. Arrived quickly, excited to try, sound "ok" and good fit. However, as a neurodivergent person, i was very disappointed to find out that the advertised Noise Cancellation does not actually remove outside sound at all. The other audio modes sounds muddy, but the default mode sounds least bad, the Bass mode is just awful. I had severe issues over Bluetooth with a Samsung Galaxy S7 & S20, buds in the ear and phone in my left pants pocket, would very very frequently drop and crackle. This issue disappeared when using a newer phone like my S24, but something to keep in mind for older or cheaper phone models. My buds last for +-2 hours of continuous playback, after which they need to be charged using the case. I would not recommend these to anyone. Another note, even as a verified purchaser, on the RayCon website they cherry-pick the reviews. I dropped a review, they chose not to post it.. easy way of keeping up a mostly positive review count
I use Raycons. They have an active pair that are still kicking.
raycon isn't really made for sleeping though, they're way too bulky. i use sleep earbuds on flights all time for work and regular earbuds just don't stay comfortable when you're trying to rest your head against window or anything. from the ones you listed, i'd probably go with ozlo since they're specifically designed for side sleeping. the noise masking works pretty well for airplane engines in my experience, though it's different than active cancellation. somnipods are decent too but battery life wasn't great when i tried them last year.
