Does anyone actually like those silicone tips vs a solid body?

I personally cannot wear the silicone ones. they either fallout, or don’t fit/hurt my ears.

it’s just a royal pain finding the non silicone ones for cheap. it’s just for dog walking. I also don’t do wireless because well… they fall out.

    Yep, I massively prefer the soft silicone ones over the hard ones. The harder ones fall out of my ears constantly, any slight tug on the cable and they’re gone. They form a better seal so I can hear what I’m listening to more clearly which I prefer as well

      The silicone jackets that lock them inside your ear are far superior for them not falling out. Locking in the sound for quality is also much better with silicone plugs.

        I thought silicon was best until I got some with foam pads. They were the best sound I ever had, but the pad need replacing much more often.

        I actually used basic AirPods now and the sounds is great in quiet environments. I also don’t have to remove them to converse.

        I have a set of ear defenders for working with loud equipment that fit over the AirPods. The biggest hassle is when removing the ear defenders, it’s easy to knock out an AirPod.
