I just hate how most earbuds these days are “in ear”. Still love using my old Samsung Beans, and I will always refuse to call them by their real product name.

You might enjoy the increasingly popular “clip” style of earbud.
An example of such: shokz.com/pages/opendots-one

Interesting, hadn’t seen this before.
They keep emphasizing its comfortable, but it definitely does not look like it.

I’ve been using them for a while and am fairly happy with them. I like that they keep my ears open, and after wearing them for a bit I hardly notice they’re there.
There’s enough of a gap between the rear “drum” and the front piece that it doesn’t uncomfortably pinch the cartilage of my ear, even during extended sessions.
I know Bose and JBL have their own versions too, there’s probably other brands out there.
Not to say you have to run out and try them, but just so you know there be options.

Maybe my tone was a bit negative, I definitely appreciate you posting this! Good to know about alternatives, I’ll keep them in mind if I am looking for new earbuds. For now I went back to wired oldschool earbuds and over ear headphones. Still using the beans though every now and then, just their battery life is slowly getting worse.

Wired is also valid.
I guess what pushes wireless over the edge for me is the convenience of having a little puck in my pocket which cannot get tangled up.
I don’t think your tone was particularly negative, I think I could’ve done a better job at the tone of my earlier reply as well. I appreciate you clarifying, 'sall good.
