    Fuck.

    Anyone know of any good headphones that have the airpod in-ear shape? (Like these)

    7707

    Hate the Skullcandy style with the shitty rubber nubs, those hurt my ears. (Like these)

    7708

    But that’s all anyone makes now other than airpods non-pro and cheap shitty airpod knockoffs (but I still want halfway decent headphones.)

    No it isn’t “just the wrong size” don’t bother with that, I just have way too tight ear pussies and I need it to rest outside the hole like the first pic.

      I can’t use in ear buds because they get ejected by my ear canal. But I have to wear hats so I can’t wear 🎧 style. I got some Shokz bone conduction head phones and they are awesome during daily activities. You can get better sound elsewhere, but hard to beat the convenience.

      I wish you the best of like finding them, but I genuinely think you’re on the minority of the market. I upgraded from the first to the second and the original pods physically hurt my ears wedging a bit of hard plastic into soft tissue

      They have at least 3 models for sale at any given time, last I checked. I can’t imagine they’d make all of them like this, as surely these will be dramatically more costly to produce and are likely to chug on batteries compared to the others. I think you will be safe for now, and the bubble will have burst by the generation after that, since it is already on borrowed time.

      You’re right, I also prefer this shape but couldn’t find a good one. I’m using Sony WF-1000XM5 now and am quite happy with them, but it would be better if they made this shape
