In my experience, after trying most brands, they are just ok for music.
Using them at the gym was not a good experience because the gym music is too loud, and this is the same for malls and airports.
Outdoors usage is good for running and washing the car. None of them are good for Webex or Zoom meetings because the mic is very tinny, except for Shoks OpenComm2 UC, with the boom mic.

And because of the behind the neck design, you can’t lay in bed. Anything that pushes the conductor out of the sweet spot will ruin the music.

Things are becoming more depressing every day and I can’t afford for professionals and don’t want to jump to the last resort or drugs. Is there a medicine that can make me happy if I take it in proper doses and does not require a doctor’s prescription?
I don’t know if this will work for you. Every night I close my eyes and picture a clock with the time I want to wake. Then I tell myself the time I want to wake up.
