Hello people, as the title suggests I am thinking of buying fairbuds. I mostly listen to audiobooks, podcasts but also edm and metal (I am by no means audiophile).

My main concerns are that I haven't used this type of buds, my current headphones are OnePlus bullets and I am afraid because I read in some reviews that the fairbuds are bulky and often fall out of the ear. Is that common? Have you had any problems with them?

Ive had no issue with them falling out of my ears, even when running. (it comes with three different sizes)

When they arrive they do sound incredibly flat/dull, you will want to download the app and apply the following EQ to make it sound decent:

60 Hz +8

100 Hz -2

230 Hz -5

500 Hz +2

1100 Hz -2

2400 Hz +8

5400 Hz +1

12000 Hz +11

(these settings wont apply to the buds unless the phone location is turned on when launching the app)
