Does anyone actually like those silicone tips vs a solid body?

I personally cannot wear the silicone ones. they either fallout, or don’t fit/hurt my ears.

it’s just a royal pain finding the non silicone ones for cheap. it’s just for dog walking. I also don’t do wireless because well… they fall out.

    One of the best investments I ever made was replacing the silicone with memory foam tips. Highly recommend trying it.

    Comfy and excellent sound isolation.

      Note you can be allergic to memory foam, which will make those earbuds hurt like hell (ask me how I know)

      Agreed. Though I find for someone like myself with… extra ear wax production foam tips get annoying to clean.

      In any case, comply is a decent brand, dekoni I find to be better and more comfortable, except they have trouble staying ON the ear bud, so they end up in my ear. I’ve heard the same from a reviewer who I found out about dekoni from.

        I’ve been using a hybrid type that’s a silicone foam instead because I had the same complaints. The comfort and useability is peak. The bass boost from foam might be a little less (I don’t care about that aspect), but I strongly recommend the one’s from diofit. I ran through every size in my pack over the years with my galaxy buds 2 to avoid buying more. Somehow they all just fit anyways.
