Pixel buds

[mitchpman13]

Hey all,

Do any of you have pixel buds? They're on sale and I was wondering how they are. Been buying cheapo buds and they keep dying randomly. Figure I finally bite the bullet and buy a major brand, plus they're on sale today.

 

How's the fitting for smaller ears? I usually struggle with buds without the ear loop/hook piece, dont need it falling out on me.

How well do they perform with sweat/rain? I workout quite often and sometimes run while its misting outside.

Do you buy proper sized tips? Most people neglect that part and it's essential for those kind of headphones.

IIRC they're due to release another version soon, might be worth holding off unless it's a really good sale.

I think im in the middle between sizes, the smallest ones typically dont hold the best and the next size up tend to hurt or have to be stuffed then block the music. I think i remember hearing about that. Theyre $50 off and it kinda peaked my interest. I hate seeing the cost of wireless buds but need a decent kinda that wont die too quick.

Have you tried foam ear tips?

If you do get them, try out these:

You'd probably have to get the assorted pack first, but from there can just buy the correct size.

They don't last forever, but they compress and then expand when you put them in, so you'll get a much more comfortable fit.

They also have a guaranteed fit program, where if you order the wrong size you can just get a credit for the right one.
