Take a look at the Baseus (Sound by Bose) clip style. I have sensitive ears and I've found these to be very comfortable. They sound fantastic, too. ETA: I have the Tozo ones, too. The Baseus feel much better and definitely sound better.
I like these, not the best quality but I can hear everything plus I get them for like 20 a pair on sale. I destroy earbuds so these are cheap and easy. As I said not the best sound quality, but when Iām working out they are perfect. A little tricky under a full face, but Iāve made them work for me. https://www.tozostore.com/products/openearring-headphone?variant=50682092421409&country=US¤cy=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&mai_source=google&mai_medium=paid&mai_campaign=22737469657&mai_adgroup=181096780785&mai_term=&mai_content=%7Badid%7D&mai_click_id=Cj0KCQiAyvHLBhDlARIsAHxl6xpV_MT3U2-xPJ1B3fUblg1notwkd2V0UhCPu7rJfBy7YHl4KetFkHMaAiYJEALw_wcB&utm_source=ads&utm_medium=google&utm_campaign=conversion&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22737469657&gclid=Cj0KCQiAyvHLBhDlARIsAHxl6xpV_MT3U2-xPJ1B3fUblg1notwkd2V0UhCPu7rJfBy7YHl4KetFkHMaAiYJEALw_wcB
I have the Soundcore AeroClip and love them for their sound quality. Much of what I use open earbuds for is listening to audiobooks, YouTube videos, and the like, but the AeroClip sound good enough to use for listening to music as well, which is a wonderful bonus that has led to me using them more and more for that purpose. If I get them on my ears just right, I can wear them for a couple of hours or so before they start to hurt, but they do eventually start to feel pinchy. I also have the cheap Tozo OpenEarRing, which seems to be a little more comfortable. They are fine for audiobooks and other spoken word content but not so great for music. So, Iām wondering, for those of you who have tried a variety of clip style earbuds, which ones were the most comfortable/least pinchy, and which ones were the best combination of comfort and sound quality?
There are many more āClipā style earbuds on the market now. Check out the reviews in YouTube. The Bose are very good, but very expensive. The HUAWEI clip are about $100 less than the Bose (still in the $150 to $200 range). Under $100, the PearlClip Pro Open Ear are highly rated. Under $50, I really like my TOZO OpenEar Clip. Check YouTube reviews. They can really help. Good luck with your choice!
I have Tozo Open Ear Ring earbuds. AirPods were a favorite of mine too but I had the same problem as you. I can wear the Tozo ones all day without any issue because it doesn't actually sit in your ear. Not noise cancelling or anything, but they're inexpensive and super comfy.
I also wanted to mention that I wear glasses and they don't interfere with them at all, so that was one of the big reasons I went with them. The other kinds that people recommend like Shokz largely wouldn't work lol.
i have the tozo open earrings and they are great black friday bargain on amazon for only $24. it's an exellent intro to open earbuds and perfect for podcasts or connecting to your tv. i did want better sound however and bought the bose ultra earbuds on sale but could not get them to play loudly enough so i returned them. i then bought the soundcore aeroclips ($99 during black friday) and that is, for me, the sweet spot so far. they sound very good, long battery life, can be eq'd thru the app, supports ldac, and easy to connect. i also use it for phone calls and haven't had any complaints. the soundcore c50i is currently $49 and well-reviewed and may be just what you're looking for. i can also recommend the earfun open clip for the same price as the c50is. it too has good sound for the price and plays plenty loud for my needs (podcasts, tv/pc/ tablet listening).
Have to quibble, mostly because I love my mechanical watches Watch: Seiko sports 100 dive chronograph 1986 black, only one to wear itā¤ļø Phone: Fold6 with pitaka back and UAG folding hexagonal stand Monitor: 40$ amazon q ring. Better than Samsung app Earbuds: used to use TOZO T 10s until the changed the design, currently loving my TOZO OpenEaring Keyboard/mouse: ilogic pebble350 Flying: Bose ultra qc are great! What do you think of the Fold 8 options coming soon?
I'm using the Tozo OpenEarRing right now. I really like them. They're about $30 on Amazon right now. My other go-to earbuds are the Tozo T21, and Soundcore K20i
Soundcore K20i, and Tozo T21 are my go to earbuds in this style. Great value for the price. I also like the Tozo OpenEarRing. I'm using them right now.
Tozo T21, & Soundcore K20i are my go to earbuds in this style right now. Inexpensive and they sound good. Also, look at the Tozo OpenEarRing. I like them a lot more than I expected to.
I'd go with either the EarFun Air Pro 4, or the Soundcore Liberty 4 NC. Some little might say CMF Buds 2 Plus but I have the Buds 2 Pro and like the EarFun earbuds better. There are a lot of great choices at this price level. For $100, I would wait and get the EarFun Air Pro 4 for around $60 (I got mine for $56) and another set of Tozo earbuds for other uses (the NC9 are a good set to use when you don'tv want to, or can't use the Air Pro 4 (like when they're charging or something), the T21 are really good open style earbuds that I use daily, and the OpenEarRing are great for casual listening. I use the OpenEarRing when I'm sleeping, I use one and switch it from one ear to the other when I sleep on my side).
The Tozo OpenEarRing is $25 on Amazon right now. I've got them and I'm really happy with them. Definitely worth it at that price
That's interesting, thank you. I'll keep an eye on them, maybe I'll get lucky and find them on sale. I like my Tozo OpenEarRing a lot more than I expected to. I only bought them out of curiosity. Turns out they sound pretty good and they're convenient when I'm sleeping because I can just move them from one ear to the other if I lay on my side
