Does anyone here, like me, dislike having earbuds in their ear canal? I'm looking for some wireless earphones to supplement my big over-ear headphones. I've tried a couple of those ones that sit in your ear canal in the past, including buying some Samsung Galaxy Buds that were atrocious a couple of years ago, and hated them. I've tried the different tips and whatnot and none of them sit well in my ear.
I generally hate Apple software, and I have a Samsung phone, but the AirPods 2nd generation are looking pretty good to me right now and other than the One Button nonsense, I've had reasonably good experiences with Apple hardware. The other alternative seems to be the Galaxy Buds 3, but I'm a bit wary given my previous bad experience with Samsung buds (these don't share the fatal ear canal flaw of the ones I had before, but I also found those to be very annoying in that touching them often ended calls or adjusted volume in unexpected and unpredictable ways, and yes, I did RTFM) and the very shoddy quality of my most recent phone.
Any opinions?
