Buds3 (SM-R530)

I also have tiny ear canals, so tiny that any kind of silicon tipped earbud just simply won't fit or feels very uncomfortable. Were the JBL buds and airpods woth silicone tips or semi-open? I recently took a look at a lot of semi-open buds to make a purchase. Otherwise I would suggest semi-open buds, and particularly the standard airpods (since anc don't matter you could just go for the standard airpods 4, not the ANC ones). The aipods have a good mic.  There are several JBL buds that are semi open. The JBL tune flexes come as the standard semi-open version in the box, but also interchangable silicone-tips. The mic on these are decent for the low price of 40-50$ depending on your region. The sound quality overall is passable and they have ANC, but it's basically non-existent. The samsung galaxy buds 3 also allegedly have a very good mic. The non pro version are without tips that enter your ear canals. These have also recently gone on sale for about 90$. Many do, however, claim that there is a problem with the fit. They seem to be larger than the average earbud, and this causes them to slip out for people who have smaller ears (small ears! Not ear canals!). For others the larger size seem to work better and they sit snuggly, but these seem to be for individuals with larger ears. There are other brands as well that have semi-open earbuds. Nothing ear stick is also quite good and have a decent mic. But I would warn that these are a nightmare to clean due to the mesh used on them. Eventually these get a problem with sound volume or break from trying to clean them (I had to get new ones because of this) There are of course earbuds with silicone tips that have XS sizes, but I have not looked at these since I never found any of them to work for me. A mandatory note is that there is also a very popular category of open earbuds that can also be very good, but I have never tried any of them.
