Earbuds for cycling, no moral judgment just real experience asked.

Beats Flex are decent for this. I don’t think they’re the greatest earbuds by any means, and they can be annoying as the tether is stiff and sometimes gets twisted in a way that will pull them out, but I’ve tried a few other cheap earbuds and grudgingly come back to them. If you’re an iPhone user it

is there anything you've bought that seems to actually help with the nightmares?

Seconding the earbuds. For anyone considering it, Beats Flex are great, as they last 8+ hours, and, since they're connected, if one falls out, you can find it easily and cram it back in. In my case, I have a few comfort shows I know well that help me fall asleep and stay asleep, and fall back asleep

Do you wear earbuds?

I wear Beats Flex. The ones with the cord connecting the 2 earbuds. They’re way more convenient: no case to carry around, I can just pop one or both out and drape them around my neck, and if one slips out I won’t lose it.

I AM INCAPABLE OF KEEPING EARBUDS

I don't have the Beats Flex, but I have ones of a similar style and I second the recommendation. The ones I have will go a week or more on a charge, and I use then all day every day while working. It's convenient to pull out one earbud when you need to hear outside sounds, and it just hangs there so

Do you buy off brand now since things are more expensive?

My workout earbuds are Beats Flex. Being low vision but wanting the easy pair that the Apple H1/W1 chip offers, Beats Flex was best choice. For home listening, the Sony’s are my go to.

What is something you will never, ever buy the “generic” or “off brand” version of?

Wireless earbuds. I have an iPhone, I use Beats Flex. Being low vision with the bright colors of the Flex, they’re easy to find and more importantly NOT truly wireless, yet still have AirPods tech even if it’s a few generations behind in that area.

How do we stop losing wireless earbuds? 🥺

Beats Flex! They’re “wireless” but are connected so you can hang it on your neck without losing earbuds. I have 2 pairs that I switch between and LOVE them. Especially since I have small ears and other earbuds fall out easily

what's your favorite headphones brand to wear?

Because I have a tendency to lose things (apple earbuds) and I don’t love things over my head, I fell in love with Beats Flex. They are super comfortable (earbuds) and they are connected to each other (super flexible and goes around the back). I like them enough that I use them as earplugs as needed

How am I supposed to tell my parents I can hear them having sex???

Earbuds and a playlist of thunderstorms (or whatever nature sounds you find relaxing) is the non confrontational way to go. I sleep with Beats Flex in my ears. They're earbuds that are connected to each other (so they don't get lost in the bed if they fall out). Partner listens to audiobooks to slee
