Comment on Earbud question: Does anyone actually like to silicone tipped earbuds over the solid plastic ones?

  clearly me. lol

  they don’t fit, get extra dirty, the tips get lost making you pay more later.

  I was just curious about the general consensus and it feels like it’s near 40/40/10. with the 10 being those that detest all earbuds

    I was on your side for a long time until I found awesome fitting and sounding ones.

    You should try a type called silicone foam ear tips. They are like a hybrid of memory foam and silicone. They seal way better but not too much and are more comfortable than either option to me. I used a brand called diofit, but I would guess more brands make them. I ended up using every size in the set just to avoid going back to regular silicone and they all worked pretty well. I should just buy a new set, but I kept thinking these headphones would die soon with how much I use them.
