This guy is getting a $1500 earplugs custom made with 10 drivers for best music experience and I'm here begging for my $300 apple Airpods not to fall out while I'm sitting straight on my chair.

Something is off with earplugs as a product

Are you sure it isn't just your ears that have an uncommon shape, unfit for most earphones? Mine can't hold anything but the deepest plugs, I've given up on anything else over a decade ago. Especially apple ones since they are rounder than average.

It's indeed 'my' problem. But I really wonder if as a market segment, we are trying to go too vertical, rather than solve the problem for everyone (also I'm not sure the % of people that have my same problem, but empirically it sounds big enough to worry about it, even if you are apple)
