Have a pair of Samsung buds + or whatever I bought on offer with my phone. They are OK, but I am kind of spoilt with headphones.

 

No need to worry about losing as they usually have a locator setting where a noise is sent to them if you lose one. Usually for me though it is in the house and the cat has stole - it the little tosser, doesn't help it tweets like a bird when it is lost...

 

Usually just use over ears noise cancelling to tune everybody out. Currently Sony WM1000MX4, very light weight and great battery life, which meant I actually didn't buy a pair of Senns this time.

I am quite deaf and made the stupid assumption that Airpods would have a decent volume range but they are really low and I can’t hear a fucking thing. Came as a mobile phone package so not the end of the world but have been in a drawer for a year now. Will have to get rid on EBay. 

Im losing my hearing a bit now Im convinced it came after a temp job on an 8 man press at the English Elec on the E.Lancs back in the 70's . The only protection we had were rubber gloves and an apron ,no ear plugs. Apparently I might qualify for comp but would need to be in the UK forv6 to 9 months. I guess the bonus is I cant hear the fuckin crickets out here in summer. BTW love my Jabra buds.

I have these, really good for true wireless.

 

The Hear ID will help with any imbalances in hearing too.
