Bose launches wired earbuds with USB-C and active noise cancellation

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.

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.

Sorry for joining in, but can you comment on “noise leakage”, i.e. is the sound intended for you escaping to the outside and perceptable to others?

I find it difficult to say. I’ve gotten no such complaints, but I don’t generally use these on, say, the couch next to others.

I wouldn’t think they’re much more noisy then the “non-plug” style of earbuds of yesteryear.
