First off, I have an oddly shaped ear canal and I don’t feel comfortable shoving silicone tips in my ears. I use the regular AirPods and these wired earphones and over ear headphones. The cold Canadian winter can blow battery live of wireless headphones like nothing. These are one less battery to worry about if I’m out and about.

I have tried countless 3rd party versions but none is toned or has the quality of the OEM one.
