Think new Sony links are coming out.

My favorite are bose open but the price point is inflated a bit.

€240 for the Bose ones isn't too bad. I know they're inflated a bit but the quality is definitely top end

Sony stuff tends to be good but lacks physical buttons, really fucking annoying for accidental button pushes

I have both current Linkbuds. I love the concept of the first one but they are uncomfortable for me no matter how I wear them (unless I damn near have them hanging out of my ear, but then they sound bad and fall out easily). The S model is one of my favorite earbuds I own. Super small and light with great sound and fantastic ANC and passthrough. Not quite the same as a truly open earbud though. I want to try the BOSE clip on one's, but like you said they are pricy.

I know it's subjective, and not denying your experience. But for other readers, the og Linkbuds are hands down the most comfortable headphones I have ever worn, without exception. I sometimes even forget I'm wearing them.

Obviously your mileage may vary, but if they sound like they might be your thing, it's worth giving them a go, especially with the crazy low sales atm

I mean, the budget option there is still a lot of money, I can see why it's still niche, also seems it would hurt if you use glasses?

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Probably depends on which model and your glasses. Link buds not an issue at all. Bose open not an issue with glasses for majority at least
