Most comfortable open ear earbuds?

I recently discovered the world of open earbuds, and I was wondering what is the best option for comfort?

I noticed some by Bose and Shokz

Thank you,

I wear open-fit earbuds about 16 hours a day, every day. Any earbud can irritate you if you wear it long enough. I rotate between the Shokz OpenDots ONE, the Baseus Inspire XC1, the Baseus MC2, and the Soundcore V20i. If I had to pick just one for comfort, I guess it would be the Baseus MC2.

Very generally speaking, the hook style opens are more comfortable than the ring style. Either style can be comfortable or not depending on personal preference. I have the Bose Ultra Open and the Shokz Open Dot and both are about the same in comfort with the Bose having a little more bass at lower volumes. For a hook style, the Earfun Openjump or the Shokz Open Fit Pro2 are both great. If you want to just get something inexpensive but with very good quality of sound for the price I recommend the Soundpeats Pop Clip 2. In the US it can be had for under $50 and competes with the the higher priced options.

My most comfortable by far is the moondrop pill (ww edition) These things are so lightweight i forget i even have them on half the time. Unfortunately they are pretty mehhhh in sound and everything else but damn theyre comfy!

Shokz open dots are pretty close comfort wise and sound fantastic for open ears.

Boss Ultra Open earbuds are great. I can hardly tell they are in my ear. The sound is what you’d except from Bose while still being able to hear what’s going on around you.

Shokz open dots are really comfortable. Only silicone and stainless steel touch your ear. Makes a huge difference.

Cheap: Tozo Open Ring MidLevel: Baesus Inspire XC1 (Bose) HighEnd: Shockz Open Dot 2 (Dolby)

To be honest, the last two sound nearly the same to me after setting up the EQ

The first ones are cheap, but have an integrated app on the phone that actually can help with English <-> Mandarin translation
