Where to get wingtip earbuds

Lisa78 · 03-01-2018 02:26PM #1

Hi, would anyone have come across the type of ear buds in the attachment? Specifically with the "wingtip" covers to help keep them in your ear, and not the squishy rubber bits for the part that actually going into your ear - they are harder plastic.
Don't know if that description is any good but hopefully the photos will help!!

I used to get them from Amazon but the last few I've gotten haven't included the wing tip part.
Thanks in advance

Yes, I actually got them and they're grand but the sound is just ok

I have these ones. they're not the same form factor but decent sound. very long 10 to 12 hr battery life which is good for bluetooth earphones.

Actually it wasn't those ones, because I think they have the soft rubber - it was these ones

the anker ones are probably better. anker make decent stuff.
pretty crap reviews on the one you linked to be honest.
always check the amazon reviews (and look for purchase verified reviews where the item was fully paid for as sometimes dubious sellers spam with fake reviews or give items away to build up the score).
also worth paying a few quid more sometimes to get a much better item

Yep, definitely realising it will be worth paying that bit more - was just spoiled for ages being able to get those Samsung ones for a few euro.
My husband had bought those Groove ones in Tower so unfortunately didn't have the reviews to warn him. Thanks for the tip on the Anker ones - I hadn't heard of the brand before.

Google earhoox and just pop them on your favourite buds.

Anker is a good budget option for earphones/small speakers/chargers etc- very good price/value ratio usually. sort of a brand that you can rely on for various electrical accessories but always check the reviews if possible in each case.
