Good bluetooth earbuds that are Apple earbud shaped (or an approximation far enough away to not be sued.) There’s litterally “airpods,” “cheap shitty airpod knockoffs,” and then the largest category “skullcandy types with the bullshit in ear inserts.” There’s plenty of quality ones in the skullcandy style, and idk if I just have a tight earussy but they do not fit in my holes.
You should try out these so-called ear clip headphones (aka clip on buds). I got this pair at a thrift store for ~US$3 yesterday. They latch on to your ear on the outside and do not go deep into your ears. Great for tight earussies or for earussy periods.
I have a pair of the HD555s I love the sound quality of, but their buds look like the type I can’t stand. I want to try em out but that’s too much money for something that I think probably won’t work for me and nobody I know has them to try.
Have you tried any IEMs? I know they are wired but I have a pair of moondrop x crinacle dusk 2s that are amazing sound. I do want to upgrade to the new dusk model with the planar drivers but I dont have the free cash atm
Honestly this is less of an issue for me with wired, there’s plenty non-skullcandy style wired ones, the problem there is the world has decided phones no longer need a 3.5mm jack (which they absolutely do still need imo.) If I could still use wired I wouldn’t even be complaining!
I hate to say it but the apple type c to 3.5mm jack dongle is actually really good and all you really need. You could go for a balls to the wall dongle setup with a micro DAC that plugs into the phone bit youre starting to get into the placebo effect area of audiphile stuff
If my phone had two usb c ports, one top one bottom or even right next to each other, maybe. But excess wear and tear on the only port I can use for charging on a non-repairable device, the inability to charge and use headphones simultaneously, and an OG Xbox controller style dongle like it’s 200fucking3 are unfortunately not solutions to “have correct hole please.”
I don’t need audiophile quality, just “good enough,” combined with “doesn’t hurt ears or use my charging port.”
My phone, laptop, & DAP all conveniently have a headphone jack so I can enjoy better quality sound, with no lantency, no spotty connectivity, no pairing lag, no need for firmware upgrades or proprietary apps, a cheaper price, easy to find the monitors since they are tethered together, & with better sustainability without lithium ion batteries while never have to worry about charge either.

What was the upside of wireless again?
The upside is “my phone is a bitch and doesn’t have a jack.”
I fucking wish, but GrapheneOS was more important to me.
Edit: oh sorry just realized you’re on .ml, “my phone is a doody-head and doesn’t have a jack.”
