Hi all,
I'm currently on the hunt for an AirPod alternative... something that is truly wireless, is fully confined in the ear (nothing sticking out like on the airpods), and perhaps has a custom molded option?
I do a lot of listening on my iPhone7 and having to plug into the lightening port means I can't have my phone plugged in to charge. It shouldn't bother me, but it does I guess. I really don't like the apple earbuds, so I end up using my Westone ES5 custom IEMs with the lightning to 3.5mm adapter.. it's just kind of a mess. I've thought about the AirPods, but I'm not really a fan of how they look and the tube that hangs out of the ear. Love the idea of a truly wireless headphone though.
So, any thoughts on an alternative? I'm not afraid of considering custom molded setups either (if any exist). I just would like them to be relatively low-profile if possible. I'd rather not have big knobs of plastic sticking out of my ears if the can be avoided.
I'm digging though threads, but figured I'd see if there was a general consensus! Thanks for any guidance.
