Bone conduction only. I’m not trying to blot out the world- just want to listen to music or audiobooks and still hear people, or cars (when I’m on the bike).

Over ear for me. Would love to use in ear ones, but haven’t found any that will stay in my ears!

Try these as an economical solution. 99% likely a decent solution.
How to use:
- Press them to shrink the diameter
- Pull on each ear in turn, pull top and to the back to widely open the auditory canal (it is why doctors do that when looking into an ear)
- Insert the squashed foam tips into each ear
- Immediately gently push for about 20 seconds so the foam re-expands within the canal
- Do not use these if you need situational awareness because they provide substantial passive noise canceling. Example: I do not recommend their use while walking and crossing a street. And never while driving. Hope this helps. Let us know please.

On ear at home. I wear glasses so in ear is the only other real option.

I can switch back and forth between in and over, but when I don’t need anc I prefer bone conduction

I listen to Sirius XM 6-8 hours a day using over the ear noise canceling headphones. They produce the highest fidelity for classical music and are the most comfortable. I cycle about 3 hours a day listening to classical music. I ware a headband around my ears to reduce wind noise.

I am on a quest for the best earbuds. I have one imperative: the must have BUTTONS! Who on earth thought touch controls made sense for a device that gets brushed by hair, wind, hats, etc. I listen to podcasts and audiobooks all day, so neither ANC or fidelity actually matter. Buttons!!!

On ear clip headphones are my favorite, but they are hard to find. In ear gives me nausea, and my ears go numb if wear over the ear headphones for long.

No in-ear headphones I have ever owned can compare to the AirPods Pro’s that I got from Dave’s desk. I have the same love for most of the Sony over-ear headphones.
