You also have to have visited a harmonic camp, you’ll know if you have already if you have the aeron turbojet backpack. It took me forever to find out but this was the first video I came across that explains it:

Billionaires.

I had this exact same situation. Bought a set of Bose sound sport, couldn’t hear myself think if I was doing anything more than a brisk walk. Even walking around the house emitted a whistling in my ears. It was ridiculous. I Immediately took them back and bought some Jabra elite active 65t that were on sale.

They’re a bit quiet for my liking, but that’s probably ‘safe’, or it might also be because of the 6mm X 5mm speakers (hence 65) being a bit small. It’s been a few years since I made my purchase and I know they’re up to an 85t now that a coworker bought a year or so ago and then may even have a newer, better product since then.

I use them almost every day for at least a couple of hours. Battery life is good, about 4-6 hours and then the battery box gets me about 2 days. I’ve dropped the battery box and knocked the buds out of my ears many times. They may not be the best out there, but they’ve certainly done the job. I think it’s been 4 years since I bought them and I’m unsure what I’d replace them with.

I feel like ‘Dune’ should have been there somewhere. Maybe I’m missing it.
