 So big important question … best headphones for iOS… I’m not really into getting AirPods… so others or convince me pls lol 
 I got the lightning to headphone jack dongle. Just taped it to the end of the headphone line so i wouldn’t lose it🙂 Then you can use any headphones 
 Skullcandy Jib True is a decent budget lasts almost 8hrs for me during work time

 AirPods Pro, just wasn’t cutting it for me and outdoor work 
 AirPods has been the best! The ability to connect to all of your devices quickly is awesome and worth the excessive cost if you can stomach it. 

Wired works too if you’re not moving a lot but for wireless I’ve just had too many issues with other headphones Bluetooth. Never with AirPods - work like magic! Buying another pair for wife. 
 Yep this 👆 
 How do they feel in your ears tho? I have sensitive small ears lol. 
 The last version has different size of ear tips. So they’re comfortable. 
 The hard ones are a pain, I’ll admit. But they have a “pro” 😂 version with the soft tips in various sizes. 

The sound is awesome too btw. 
 The transparency audio with the pro model is worth the money alone, plus there are an assortment of third party soft tips to fit any ear. 
 Agree. 
 It amazes me how smoothly they work across all your devices. 
 How important is perfect sound? Noise reduction?

If you have small ears, Shoks bone conduction headphones may be great. (I own some and love them. They don’t go in your ears)

AirPod Pros now have an extra small ear piece. 

SkullCandy tends to make good budget buds. 
 I have always liked skull candy. @bevo likes the sound.

Currently rocking “grind fuel” 
 Best can mean a lot of things with headphones. What aspects are important to you? Wired/wireless, audio quality, noise cancelling, mobility, etc 
 Airpods pro gen 2. The noise canceling is the best I've experienced and the Bluetooth range is huge compared to other brands. Really good 👍.   
 Got a new pair yesterday and lov’em 💜 
 I’ve been using Raycon Bluetooth earbuds with an iPhone for about 6 months. They are okay but I think I prefer Bluetooth earbuds that you can wear around your neck (even if looks dorky). 
 Best $15 you'll ever spend:

I hate wireless 🛜 ones, not good for your brain 🧠
And they come with Extra Eartips, and lifetime warranty 

Plus USB C is the new standard in iPhones. 
 Apple getting rid of the cable option was bad mistake. I prefer the old earphones with a wire. 
 Both Apple and SkullCandy sell headphones with USB-C. 

The SkullCandy ones are pretty good actually. Also available with lightning for older iPhones.

 🤔 
 Bone conduction ones are great for particular use cases. I don’t think there is a one size fits all. Different types for different applications. I have Bose over ear Apple earbuds and shokz bone conduction. Use all three all great. 
 if i were replacing what i have now, i would be getting the sennheiser momentum 4 over-ear headphones.  they are noise canceling & bluetooth, but you can also connect losslessly with a wire!
