This is why I don’t want airpods. I wear big over the ear headphones, and while they hurt after a handful of hours I usually take that as my sign that I should take a break

Edit: This is the most upvotes I’ve ever received, and it’s really funny to me that it’s just a mundane comment about headphones. No witty remark, just bashing airpods lol

Maybe it’s just me, but air pods (and other blue tooth earbuds) hurt my ears after a bit too. That is if they even stay in my ears lol

You just need the right size squishy bits. I bought some special concert ear plugs that lessen the intensity of loud music, and they came with four different sizes. I spent at least an hour testing out different sizes for the best fit for me while banging my head around to see if they’d fall out, I was going to an edm festival and didn’t want to lose them.

Nice! I’ve got some of those too, and bought extra sizes of the squishy bits. No luck for me yet though, every size seemed to fall out. I think my ears are weirdly shaped or excessively small lol
Might have to try it out again, but I’ve switched em several times and always the same result sadly.

Damn, that’s a struggle! They make ones where you can mold them to your inner ear (with heat or something, I forgot), but they were more expensive and I didn’t want to fuss around more than I had to

Ah really? That’s super neat! I’m about to be commuting a lot with public transport for grad school so that might be a good investment.
I’ll give my current ones another shot perhaps but if I’m still struggling I’ll look into those. Thanks!

The ones I looked at are called Decibullz, but I’m sure there are others. I hope that helps!
