Comment on What do you prefer for audio? Earphones, headphones, speakers?

On the SD I used to just use the built in speakers all the time. Literally years, I have a launch console.
But just two weeks ago I discovered they still make earbuds that sit in your ear instead of in your ear canal. Like, quality ones. And now that’s all I use.
They’re perfect because they sound great, but still let outside noise in, so if my wife starts talking to me I don’t just ignore her. But they’re also small and fit in the case, good for travel.

I’m having a very hard figuring out what you are describing, but im also huge into Ear Buds, I just hate not being able to hear my surroundings when it gets dark.
Could you share an example?

Sure!
These are what I call ear canal buds.
These are what I just bought, and really enjoy, because they sit in your outer ear without plugging the canal, so outside sounds can easily enter.

Huh. Never seen something like this, thank you!

You’re welcome! Yeah all buds used to be that way, now they’re considered “cheap” and the in-ear kind are the new hotness. Better bass response and noise isolation. But the one school style is coming back, and those buds I linked are considered premium by some people 🤷♂️
