Anyone know of any good headphones that have the airpod in-ear shape? (Like these)
Hate the Skullcandy style with the shitty rubber nubs, those hurt my ears. (Like these)
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.
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
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.
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
I really like the ear-loop style so that they don’t have to be jammed into my ear canal. They (and the accompanying case) are slightly larger, but I find them much more comfortable and no concerns about them falling out even when moving around a lot.
I’m very particular about what goes into my ear as well.
If only I could find them lol. I you have any specific brands to look for I desperately need them, afaik bose, sennheiser, grado, beats, those podcast ones, all do the inside the hole thing. Bose has some weird clip ones but I can’t justify spending $200 on them to see if they’ll work for me when they very well may not.
However I’m not sure if they are currently being produced, they do some open, over ear buds however; they all have the rubbish pinch gestures vs the old touch from the AirPods 1 / 2.
Just the other day me and a friend were talking about this and we found the JBL Tune Flex 2.
Are they good? No clue. But they are the right shape. JBL has some other models too.
Dude I might actually grab a pair of these for my next, thank you so much! JBL is good enough for me, not the best but their speakers run well and sound alright, and that’s perfect!
I just wanted to let you know, I’ve used the JBL Tune 225TWS for years and they still work. Like you said, definitely not the best, but good enough while I’m on a bus or something.
I even still have my Tune220TWS, which are older, but they also still work. The only reason I stopped using those was because they still use micro-USB and my last cable broke. All I had left were USB-C (due to the EU law that made it universal).
tl;dr: they might not be the best sound quality, but their devices last a long time. I’ve even dropped mine a few times and they survived it.
Fuck.

I imagine they’ll still sell the non-camera version.
In that case I’ll be fine, but tbh I’d like better ones anyway were they to exist.

You can probably still find the older airpods.
For now.
Firmware update to only work with iTunes w/ 30 second ads every 2-5 minutes.
Its Apple, so maybe not ads in the firmware update, just a little under clocking maybe!
Oooooh! Half second lag between left & right!
I don’t know if there’s a proper name for it but most companies doing Earbuds also have models without the rubber nubs just like the first picture.

Ooh thank you these could also work!

That wording “$109.95 each” makes it sound like you have to buy left and right separately
