Sony just outdid Bose with a clever earbud design that I can't help but be impressed by
"I hardly ever wear clip-on earbuds because after a few minutes, I start to feel uncomfortable amounts of pressure; I assume I don't have the ear anatomy ideal for this style of earbuds, so I stick with my AirPods. After fitting my LinkBuds Clip with the included cushions, the gap between the earbuds' hooks and my ear closed, allowing the earbuds to clip onto a sturdier part of my ear."
"Sony's clip-on earbuds aren't fundamentally different from competitors; they all use stiffer materials in the hinges to achieve a one-size-fits-all form factor. For the unlucky few like myself, this form factor leads to ear fatigue and soreness, which was easily rectified with the fitting cushions. Instead of the earbuds relying solely on your concha for support, the cushions engage your helix as an additional support anchor."
Sony LinkBuds Clip include removable ear-fitting cushions that improve fit and stability for clip-on open-ear earbuds. The cushions close the gap between the earbuds' hooks and the ear, allowing the clip to anchor on a sturdier part of the ear and engage the helix as additional support rather than relying solely on the concha. This reduces ear fatigue, pinching, and pressure experienced after minutes of wear. The cushions are included with purchase and parallel eartip replacements for in-canal earbuds. Third-party alternatives are uncommon, and users with compatible ear anatomy may not need them.
