I don't like those type of earbuds...even if I were given the best ones in the world.

They fall out too much. I like the ones with plastic to go around your ear to ensure it won't get loose or somehow fall out

Ha yea no kidding. Let alone running or working out. Just taking a sip of pop while on the computer makes me need to readjust my earbuds of those design. I have to keep my head perfectly still.

 

How about hearing from someone who's actually worn them rather than just looking at pictures online?

Now, that plastic has been a deal-breaker for me for years—I hate how normal EarPods feel in my ears. They don’t seem like they’re going to stay put, and they simply fall out if I move my head too much. Even if they do stay in, after about a half hour, my ears just start to ache, although I don’t experience the same pain when using earbuds with silicone or foam tips. Since the AirPods look so similar, I expected them to feel the same too—and I’m surprised and happy to report that I was dead wrong.

Not only did I dance, I headbanged. I shook my head side to side, I tossed my hair, I jogged in place, and I looked silly doing all of it. The AirPods stayed put, and they stayed loud. The music (more Sia, naturally) sounded full and lush and I couldn’t hear a single word anyone around me was saying, as if I was completely sealed off in a bubble of rock and roll. Pretty impressive.
