Try it with the airpods. I know it's cliche, but it's a fantastic experience. Truly worth the $ (for me, at least; can't say what $170 is worth to you)

- arethuza 10y agoI think my ears must be a weird shape - it takes me ages to find ones that will be comfortable and stay in place and none of the Apple ones I've tried seem to work.
- austenallred 10y agoThe EarPods have a completely different shape. No idea of they'll work for you.
- arethuza 10y agoYes the problem is that I'm not keen on trying £160 headphones without some confidence that they will fit - not like over ear ones where you can try them in shops.
- mikestew 10y agoFind someone that has a wired pair of the ones that come with iPhones/iPods, the shape is AFAICT the same.
- austenallred 10y agoIt's actually not the same. But I would recommend trying them on first somehow... not sure how. I have them if you're in San Francisco lol
- mikestew 10y agoHuh, you're right. At a glance, they look the same, but there are slight differences. Still, in a comparison fit, they might be close enough to get a rough idea. I didn't notice a big difference in fit. I have them if you're in San Francisco The OP might take you up on it. I have mine in my ears right now. :-)
- arethuza 10y agoI'm rather a long way from SF (Scotland) but the kind offer is appreciated!
- nardi 10y agoYou can try the AirPods in the store. They sanitize them between before/after.
- arethuza 10y agoI think I've discovered in the course of this conversation that I really dislike the idea of using in-ear headphones that have been in anyone else's ears! :-)
- azinman2 10y agoCan you explain more why? I'm considering but hard to justify without trying.
- austenallred 10y agoIt's hard to describe. But the way they sync across all your devices without doing anything, the way it just pauses when you pull them out of your ears, the ease of switching between Apple devices (could be better but pretty great); I just forget I'm wearing them and they become a part of my day to day life.
- azinman2 10y agoDo they get uncomfortable after a while?
- austenallred 10y agoNot at all for me. But I can't speak for anyone else's ears.
- djrogers 10y agoNot for me - I forget they're in all the time. In the first week I owned them I got in the shower with one in and didn't notice for a while (it's fine).
