Sport model AirPods would be the cats ass.
I loved the AirPods but they wouldn’t stay in my ears.
They do not fit inside the case with those. I've only used the ones with the silicone "hook", and they make all the difference - have never had any fear of them popping loose. I was impressed with the Airpods but disappointed about them falling out, but with these I love everything other than not being able to put them in the case. Perfectly comfortable with the hook, too.
You're inserting them wrong.
That’s exactly my problem! No matter wat I do, they wont stay in. One squirrel and I loose at least one AirPod. I really liked them, small, convenient, lots of charge, more then enough power. One thing I missed was the ability to cut out my coworkers completely.
I also have Bose’s QC35 they block out everything including, but not limited to, the last judgment, World War III, and my mother in law. But they are big, clumsy, heavy and unbelievable warm and sweaty in the summer. And I’m not a huge fan of the Bose sound signature.
Then I have some shure SE846, present from a coworker, with comply foam tips. Those are my everydays. Brilliant sound, excellent seal, no itchy/warm/sweaty ears. Downside is the wire and no controls. Oh and the price is phenomenal.
But now there are the BeOplay E8. They look like dragi’s have a really nice sound signature, fit really wel (for me, fitting is so personal) are able to play around 4 hours, they sense if they are in your ears, have an array of tips so they are much more likely to fit.
They have less technological advanced chips inside them, just Bluetooth 4.2 but they do have touch pads on both of them. Those touch pads allow them to do a lot.
A transpar mode, softer, louder, next, previous, stop/start and some other things I don’t use and forgotten.
Beside the nice sound (taste) and fit (also personally but adjustable with the tips) they have the transparency mode, which lets you hear what is going on around you. So when using the comply tips they block out ~20dB of sound. That is a lot. With music on (which doesn’t have to be very loud) you don’t hear much of the environment. Yet if somebody starts to talk to you, one soft tap on the left bud and you can clearly hear them. Another tap and you can retreat in your own nice warm world again. It’s so convenient for study and work. But also when using public transport or even when you’re shopping and want to pay or working/reading/chilling in a Café.
Are they perfect? No. They are almost twice as expensive as the AirPods. (Arch!) and the have the extremely annoying habit of cutting out about twice a minute for 1/10th of a second on just the left earbud. But I’m positive that they will iron this out in the next software update. That’s another thing with these e8’s, they can be updated over the air, but it takes about 12minutes. And use is not advisable during this.
