As someone also preferring headphones to in-ears for the same reasons, have you tried something like the shokz openrun series? The audio quality isn’t the best, but your ears are free. Otherwise I’d suggest trying dry shampoo or other quick hair styling tools and just accept headphone hair instead lol. Nothing smaller than a headphone can ever come close enough for an audiophile.

Same for me. I want to like earbuds. I get the convenience and form factor advantages in certain situations, and I would like them, but they don’t stay in my ears, ever. Even the old school wired ones of yesteryear never for me. In the end I just accepted it and bought a really nice pair of wireless headphones. But I’m curious what suggestions come out of this discussion.

Yeah I mean I carry a pick around everywhere anyway it’s just a bit inconvenient. Do you know of any headphones that sound good and either A have good ANC/pass through or B are actually IP rated? I have momentum 4s because of sound vs other wireless, I’ve heard Sony has good passive audio but also kinda suck as gym headphones potentially. My momentum 4s have no breathability so my ears get sweaty, my earwax heats up and the headphones are getting destroyed from a few workouts before I gave up and went back to earbuds for now.
