I have two pairs of Jabras (apparently they're exiting the earbud market tho). One is for casual listening (elite 10s) and the other is for when I'm doing sports shit (elite 8 active).

Before that I was a loyal Jaybird customer for a few generations, but they also exited the market.

I like them especially because they stay in place perfectly even when I’m moving around like running, and I like not being completely isolated like when I’m running and I want to have some sense of what’s going on around me. I use them to listen to podcasts mainly so ambient noise doesn’t matter so much although they are also fine for music. If I want to be isolated like on a plane, I wear Sony noise canceling headphones

I'll use bluetooth Koss Porta Pros if I go for a long stroll. The current second gen ones are a lot cleaner looking than the first gen bluetooth ones I have. Mine look horrible because there is a cord running between the L and R and there is a inline volume control on that cord. Old gen: https://www.kjell.com/globalassets/productimages/727256_23627_6.jpg

It's hard to overstate just how bad they look IRL. That inline volume control bounces and sways as you walk. They essentially manage to look worse than ordinary corded headphones. The current gen ones, they managed to eliminate the cord.

At home I have a pair of low end Grados that I rarely use.

In both cases I use DSP correction which vastly improves the sound quality. I use Poweramp Equalizer on my phone for the Koss headphones. I have a fancy RME DAC that has DSP when I am at home listening to the Grados.

Sony WH-whatever headphones for listening to stuff around the house

Some old pair of Sennheisers, 595 I think, for wired listening that I never use anymore

Sonnheiser is way better than Sony

I used to own Sennheisers too until I tried Sony

At home: Bose, whichever ones are/were their top of the line. They've been working great for years.

Outside the house I use ones I don't care if I lose. My OnePlus buds are cheap and good, thanks China
