      I’ve learned that I can’t do the in-ear bud style for more than an hour. Full overhead headphones (I use Bose NC-700s are good for 2 hours or so for me), but buds like Samsung Bud Lives can stay in ear for 3+ hours. I just wish the ANC for these types of buds worked better.

        I like the Buds Live a lot but they make my ears hurt after about 2 hours. My XM4s are more comfortable. I wore them on a transatlantic flight with minimal breaks and no real issues.

      It takes time to get used to new ear buds. Wear them for 4+ hours a day for a couple days in a row, then give your ears a break for 2-3 days so they can heal. Then try the buds again. They probably won’t be as uncomfortable going forward.

      Anker’s Soundcore are making some hard hitting budget wireless buds. I recently lost my buds 2pro case so I picked up a the soundcore a40 on prime day. I was pleasantly surprised that the a40’s ANC is better, the fit was more comfortable and battery life last quite a bit longer. My friend also said my mic was much clearer since it cancels out the background noise so much better than the buds2pro.
