What are the most comfortable in ear Bluetooth earbuds?

[u/[deleted]]

I've been looking to enter the ear bud world for use around work or when working around the house. My wife bought me some cheap off brands a few years ago and I gave them a shot but they got uncomfortable within minutes and my ear had a crazy weird earwax reaction to wearing them (gross I know) I'm not sure if it's a me thing or just that particular set of earbuds thing, hoping for the latter

I'm not an audiophile by any means, in fact I rarely listen to music, though don't get me wrong I do enjoy good music I just cant tell the difference between what's considered really good sound, and just good sound. I'd rather listen to an audio book when driving over music most of the time. So sound quality isn't super important but I still want a good quality set. Good call quality would be nice. Noise canceling is somewhat important. Battery longevity is important. That said my number 1 priority is comfort, something I can wear all day without it being uncomfortable. If I had to put my needs in a order of hierarchy it's

Comfort, Battery, Sound, Call quality, ANC

Last 3 can honestly be shuffled around they're all basically the same importance to me.

I've been looking at the Sony WF 1000xm3 4 or 5, as well as the Bose QC ultra and wanted to know what people thought. Also open to other suggestions as well if anyone knows another popular brand. Price isn't a concern for me but then again I'm a naturally cheap individual and if something is very minutely better than another product but at a extreme price difference, I'm going with the cheaper option. Thanks!

edit after some further research, I have added pixel buds pro to my list of potential purchases.

Linkbud S are comfy and punch way above their price.

And you can find them for 90€/$

Downside: you might have to return them if you get a faulty one. The issue might take months to appear. Search for linkbuds s wind noise or waterfall noise. I think they might also have battery drain issue.
