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.

they look heavy on the ear, aren’t they.
i cant stand anything in my ear, my mind rejects any kind of plug in that area, so i am curious how they feel as they look heavy.
I am forced to use the full ear headphones from sony and it gets sweaty even while i am setting doing normal work.
been searching for something super lightweight and ergonomically part of human shaped ears which i can also put while in bed.
Lol please help me

Personally I don’t think they’re too heavy, but ymmv. Nothing goes in the ear canal so that stays clear.
You can also get over ear “hooks”: shokz.com/pages/openfit2
Those may be even heavier, but they sit on top of your ear rather than hanging off them.
I’ve never liked wearing earphones in bed as I want to turn on my side, I’ve never found any to be comfortable in that position.
Also Shokz is definitely not the only brand which sells these kinds, just the one I’m familiar with.
