I like wireless, I just fucking loathe earbuds. Unfortunately, they have completely replaced the wrap around on-ear headphones that were the best for wearing while running errands or exercising.

I don't want something big and bulky while I'm walking around, but I also don't like having shit jammed into my ears. And critically, those on ear headphones are just the right size to have a convenient button layout so I can easily pause or go back a few seconds in my audiobook whenever I need to.

But Apple decreed that wireless earbuds were the future and the market for everything else fucking died.

Used to have a pair of these. Motorola S305. They were the perfect running headphones. Big chunky buttons for volume and track skipping, a plastic band that wrapped the back of your head and over your ears so it would never fall off but otherwise wireless. The only downside was really old Bluetooth tech so connection was sketchy at times. Also audio has improved a lot since then.

Modern buds don't stay in my ears. I'm using the pixel buds pro right now. The right ear stays in pretty good but the left is completely unpredictable.

Having the pixel buds myself, I feel your pain. Do a little bit of physical activity and at least one side gets loose and slippery.

I found that I simply dont have symmetrical ear canals, I use the mid size plug on one and the smallest plug on the other ear. That way they seem to fit somewhat reliably.

I had some jaybird buds that have the wrap around wire with a clip to your shirt so you can pop one out without tugging the other, also they came with all sorts of ear mounts so they can stay in your ear, I have really found anything that work as good for use while working

Have neckband Bluetooth headphones of various kinds too (I'll never ever use those tiny plugs, I'd be worried about losing them and chances are they won't fit well). Got a regular sport model, and recently got a cheap air conduction headset too.

I'm using the pixel buds pro right now. The right ear stays in pretty good but the left is completely unpredictable.

I wonder if it's their manufacturing or something, because I have the same issue with only the left bud.

Usually one bud is the primary one which connects to the phone and maintains the link. Then it pairs with the other and relays the Bluetooth session encryption key so the second bud can play it's part of the audio
