Think new Sony links are coming out.
My favorite are bose open but the price point is inflated a bit.
€240 for the Bose ones isn't too bad. I know they're inflated a bit but the quality is definitely top end
Sony stuff tends to be good but lacks physical buttons, really fucking annoying for accidental button pushes
I have both current Linkbuds. I love the concept of the first one but they are uncomfortable for me no matter how I wear them (unless I damn near have them hanging out of my ear, but then they sound bad and fall out easily). The S model is one of my favorite earbuds I own. Super small and light with great sound and fantastic ANC and passthrough. Not quite the same as a truly open earbud though. I want to try the BOSE clip on one's, but like you said they are pricy.
I know it's subjective, and not denying your experience. But for other readers, the og Linkbuds are hands down the most comfortable headphones I have ever worn, without exception. I sometimes even forget I'm wearing them.
Obviously your mileage may vary, but if they sound like they might be your thing, it's worth giving them a go, especially with the crazy low sales atm
I mean, the budget option there is still a lot of money, I can see why it's still niche, also seems it would hurt if you use glasses?
Probably depends on which model and your glasses. Link buds not an issue at all. Bose open not an issue with glasses for majority at least
