Fuck.
Anyone know of any good headphones that have the airpod in-ear shape? (Like these)
Hate the Skullcandy style with the shitty rubber nubs, those hurt my ears. (Like these)
But that's all anyone makes now other than airpods non-pro and cheap shitty airpod knockoffs (but I still want halfway decent headphones.)
No it isn't "just the wrong size" don't bother with that, I just have way too tight ear pussies and I need it to rest outside the hole like the first pic.
I don't know if there's a proper name for it but most companies doing Earbuds also have models without the rubber nubs just like the first picture.
If only I could find them lol. I you have any specific brands to look for I desperately need them, afaik bose, sennheiser, grado, beats, those podcast ones, all do the inside the hole thing. Bose has some weird clip ones but I can't justify spending $200 on them to see if they'll work for me when they very well may not.
Nothing also do some. Nothing Ear (Stick)

However I'm not sure if they are currently being produced, they do some open, over ear buds however; they all have the rubbish pinch gestures vs the old touch from the AirPods 1 / 2.
Ooh thank you these could also work!
