"I put them in my ear, put the helmet on, then do one final “push” with my finger to seat them in my ear for the ride. ... The batteries die before they work out of my ear."
"they are so comfortable that both I and my husband have had to feel our ears to check whether we were still wearing them."
"Also super bonus I've never head banged with earphones this hard besides with these soundcores, they stick to me like glue even when I'm in a metal mood and I'm headbanging for a good hour."

"Literally couldn't think of any pair of IEMs + dongle dacs could sound as analytical as the C3P+ for around $70. ... detail is just sooo much better. The C3P+ is just leagues ahead the I5 in terms of detail and resolution. ... the C3P+ is actually the closest sounding one to really expensive iems or headphone that I have."
"delivers the full package here. ... betting the house regarding this on this pair was fully worth it. ... It matches up (I would not say surpasses) a lot of wired in-ear monitors within this price bracket and slightly above. ... The prowess it shows in keeping the instrument separation clean is something that I really, really appreciate myself for buying this pair, not to mention the rumbly yet controlled, precise lows keep on coming and the highs soar without spice, without hurting your ears."
"Nothing short of a home run, here- the Ear once again brings me all; the way the bass hits on this track is very impactful but not bloated, punchy but not overpowering, and Kendrick’s powerful vocals shine through bright, while I enjoyed the way the Sax keeps on coming in at the right junctions of the song, and the way the cymbals play out on this track is probably one of the best I have heard through amongst all the gear that I have owned and currently own- the first in a wireless, and one of the few if I consider all. ... the timbre sounds natural and uncoloured"

"Crazy good from the jump! ... When you factor in they're only $99 and go toe-to-toe with Bose QC Ultra at $299, this is the deal of the year!"
"Can't recommend them enough for the value, sound like $200 earphones."

"the bass sounds are nonexistent ... my 30$ EarPods have much better bass sounds ... So if you listen to a lot of bass-heavy music, stay away from these. ... I had to spend a lot of time with equalizer to make them usable."
"the sound quality is terrible imo. ... they sound kind of boxy / middy with less bass response. ... it just sounds flattened. ... these suck ☹️"
"not sound quality ... Samsung buds pro 2 sound way better than apple's ... bowers and Wilkins pi6 and pi8 even better sound quality again than this"

"Also I would never use them for the gym because I found they were not the most secure."
"3 pro for me don't work properly in heavy weight workouts ... I've lost each ear bud 6 times today while bench press and shoulders training ... hate this smooth surface and form."

"I just ordered and received one and it's been the worst out of box experience I've ever had. ... The minimal quick start and lights on the device didn't match the documentation and it went downhill from there. ... It wouldn't connect to the app, then I eventually got it connected manually and it wouldn't play because it needed an update. ... Of course the update would fail to install every time. ... I spent an hour with support to learn that the battery needed to be at a minimum charge level to update. ... The device doesn't have a way to determine the state of charge without using the app, and won't connect to the app if the charge state is too low. ... In retrospect a simple "charge this device for several hours before attempting to setup and use" in the box would have solved all my issues. ... If it was just off and completely dead I would have figured it out quickly, but it actually displayed lights and gave the appearance that something was working at first and started to pair with the app for a bit. ... It wouldn't play the sound to identify the speaker so I had to manually enter the number as an alternative."
"Wouldn’t work."
"Most of the time, it will not connect to our WiFi."

"Both of my Coleman Instant tents have holes in the floor after just 2 uses. Both of them leaked water in a moderate storm. ... The Coleman Instant Tent has a known issue with leaks so they sell an additional aftermarket rainfly. ... I have the rainfly. Doesn't even cover the windows.... The windows fill up with water and then the water started dripping right off the keeper for the windows screen...."
"After finishing up a trip this past weekend up in Maine I found out that my new 6 person Coleman tent is not water resistant to rain. ... I always thought Coleman made a decent tent until this past weekend when I found out the hardway with water seeping through every seem of the tent"
"The Go Play 3 attracts major dust. ... I am constantly dusting mine 3-4 times a day. ... If you let the dust pile up on the fabric material its not going to be easy to clean since the speaker isnt waterproof."
applebearclaw 1.0Get the Soundcore V30i open earbuds by Anker and don't look back. I also have small ear canals and had a hard time finding regular earbuds that didn't fall off or tire me out. The V30i are comfortable and I forget I'm wearing them. The Bluetooth and sound quality is excellent for earbuds. Price is $50. You could get better sound quality from full headphones but for earbuds these are great. Edit: brand name typo
drixrmv3 1.0Here are the ones I’ve tried. Shokz- great headphones. It sits next to your ear rather than over. Forever tethered and that can get annoying, especially if you’re wearing a high collared shirt. Shokz now has a non tethered version - I always see them returned at REI so do with that information what you will. Beats headphones - the ones that have an arm that go around your ear. I put the clip over my ear then let it dangle in front of my canal. If I want total block of ambient, I put them in like they’re intended. Three different soundcore - all very affordable especially if you get them refurbished on eBay. All controllable sound quality and controls through their app. Super super long battery life. I think I’m a soundcore person now, the ROI is just much higher with these considering their price, the way I use them, and my perceived sound quality. 1. Soundcore c30i (there are upgraded versions of it) - I really liked these they rest on the flappy part of your ear and project the sound towards the ear canal. Great sound and control. less than $50 cheap. 2. Soundcore v30i. Love these, they’re the older model but I like these because they adjust on the arm itself so you can make it more or less ambient to outside sound. Sits on top of the ear. Also less than $50 if you get them refurbished. I use these at home. 3. Soundcore Aerofit pro. I use these for work - people say I sounds great on calls and don’t hear my coworkers (I work in pretty busy and noisy office. Great sound - dare I say too great, I get overwhelmed sometimes. It sits on top of the canal so you can hear if you need to (not adjustable). These ran closer to $100 - even refurbished. They come with a strap if you want to tether them. The battery life on these are crazy - I charge once a week and I’m on those all day 5 days a week between calls and music.
EliotWatts 1.0I use the SoundCore v30i for the exact reason. I can hear everything around me and calls are excellent according to people I talk too. Battery is great too, all day on a single charge.
SoundCore v30i has a better battery. Also the aerofit 2 will not announce calls by name which the v30i does
They would be my favorite too, but the battery doesn't last anywhere near as long and it just making beeps instead of announcing caller's names when I receive a call. That makes the v30i better for me
Geekspiration 1.0The cushion earbuds never fit well in my ears. The over the ear ones get annoying after an hour or so. So for me, airflow and comfort for long periods of time. I have both. I got a pair of soundcore v30i. Cheap, white a good starter pair for open ear. A little annoying with glasses as they go around the back of the ear but manageable.
maybeusefulcomments 1.0Soundcore v30i - open ear headphones. They are like Shokz but way cheaper, fit better and sound better. The app also has an equalizer. For a step up, Nothing Ear Opens. If you're going to get Shokz, you might as well get these. They sound way, way better and also have an equalizer. The fit isn't great for everyone in that they run a tad larger.
ngoalibaba 1.0I have used Samsung, Jabba and several other brands and for me, the one that best balances sound quality and durability and actually stays in my ears is the Soundcore V30i. I’ve been using it for almost a year now, mainly for running, and it’s never once fallen out. It can easily last through a full 4 hour session, and the battery life overall is solid: a single charge gets me about 3–4 days of use. Plus, it’s so light that after a while I barely even notice I’m wearing it. The open-ear design also makes it easier to stay aware of my surroundings. If you want another option, the Airpod line is also very good in this regard. Or you can go to the store to try before buying.
pasta-fazool 1.0Soundcore's v20I and v30i are both good.
Aerofit 2 sound much better to me than v30i. They're my favorites of the current offerings.
We have to go with what we need. V30i are priced well too as are the v20i. They all work. Haven't heard the v40i yet.
sunz00mspark 1.0Soundcore V30i open ear. Allow me to remain aware of my surroundings and they stay on.
I love my soundcore v30i for running. Open ear design so I can still hear everything around me and the sound quality is still good. They stay on perfectly. I have run in the rain with them and never had a problem so they can definitely hold up to sweat. I swear I don't work for soundcore I'm just very pleased with them.
TryingTris 1.0Had the Sony buds, Loved the sound, hated the fit. It would start hurting the cartilage part of my ear after about an hour of wearing it. Great sound quality and noise cancelling for earbuds though. Sold the Sony, bought the Pixel Buds Pro 2, fits great. Sound and noise cancelling are both pretty good, not Sony quality but I was happy enough with it. Lately I've been finding that my ear canals get a bit itchy after prolonged earbud use (yes, I clean my earbuds / tips regularly), so I picked up one of the Anker V30i for cheap-ish. Honestly it's currently my go to earbuds especially at work. I only use the Pixel Buds if I'm on a flight, watching a movie on my phone/laptop/tablet, and playing immersive games on my steam deck.
Turbulent-Hedgehog59 1.0Agreed. Would like to know what OP’s buds are to compare. I’ve got a pair of my own (Soundcore v30i) that are really comfortable that I don’t really feel like I’m wearing any buds. Sound is ok. Price point can’t be beat.
