The glue came out of my most recent earbuds that held the paper cap over the driver, so I need to start looking for new ones. I currently use these headphones and love them, decent enough sound quality for an earbud, and absolutely impossible to lose or have them fall out of my ears. https://www.amazon.com/Headphones-Soundcore-Bluetooth-SweatGuard-Technology/dp/B07B9R67WR

Unfortunately, it seems like most new earbuds don't have the hooks or wire between them, I like that design because if they slip or get knocked loose, the earbuds just stay in place. Additionally, if I need to interact with someone, I don't need to reach for my phone or the control unit, I just slip the earbuds out of my ear and can still hear music, but not to the exclusion of a conversation.

I don't want to get airpods or true wireless stuff, I like this weird hybrid crap, and wish it was still being made.

Earbuds never fit in my ears.

I hate them so much.

I didn't know that, but that still looks like shit compared to just having the devices be linked in the first place, not to mention the value of having a single receiver for two outputs.
