     @kaia Loop-ear, it's the only way these have a chance of staying in my ears.

     @kaia loop ears are more comfortable i've found. my KZs have those.
     
     there is a little plastic jacket on top of the cable thats been fit in to the hook shape. the weight of the drivers end up partly shared by the lobe so you aren't purely using suction in the canal to hold it in place.
     
     even better are little silicone ribs so it actually sockets in to the conch of the ear, but those are rare.

     • why?
     @why @kaia i think the skullcandies were fine but i haven't used them since getting the kz's anyway.
     
     idk if the kzs were worth the price though i just got them to have 'nice' iems to go with a player at the time.

     >the weight of the drivers
     actually weigh very very little. the drag from the chord are 99% of the "weight" in the system. thats why airpods etc work perfectly fine without any additional anchor

     @kaia@brotka.st loop ear with a forming wire so they stay put when you take them out

     @kaia@brotka.st also with this style of IEM you can lie on your ear pretty comfortably
