Surprisingly YES. I think it has something to do with the missing wire
Just picked up these, Bowers and Wilkins P7. Don't mind using the adapter with my 7+ as they will only be used during flights or in vacation. Got them at a steal of a price. Time to sell my P5 Series 2.

Enjoy - they are terrific headphones.
After almost two weeks (a day short), I'm still enjoying my Apple AirPods and they're definitely my go to headsets. I'm not having any of the many problems I keep reading about. I must have gotten a great pair...
Do they stay in your ears better than the EarPods?
Yes. Probably something to do with the weight of the earpods wire.
I could never wear EarPods but my AirPods stay in perfectly.
Since I really don't like wearing my BOSE QC 35's while I'm out and about, I decided to go with the BOSE Soundsport Pulse. Once again BOSE hasn't let me down. The sound quality is great and just what I expect from BOSE. However the five hour battery life had me a little worried, so I decided to pickup the BOSE Soundsport charging case as well which gives eighteen additional hours of battery life.
The Apple dongle thingy is no longer a thought.
Do they 'plug in' to the ear canal, or sit just outside?
The problem I've had with all of the 'fit inside' ear phones is that they always slip out because my ears are weird, and apparently sweaty. Sweat is the main thing that is stopping me from using my Airpods working out. I don't want to flood them so soon after buying them...
The stay hear+ tips on the bose in-ear headphones are great for those like me and yourselves with funny ear canals.
They are oval in shape and slot in, the wing itself hooks into the curved part of the ear as seen here!
they are the most comfortable in-ear headphones I have ever used, period! I currently have the QC20's and they are awesome and I've worn them on long haul flights with no issue - my wife tends to steal my QC25's for herself!
The round buds that seem to come with everything else just don't work for me, the closest i've tried that work are the earpods, i do want to try the airpods though!
These are my primary set of cans and I absolutely adore them. You made an awesome decision! Enjoy!

The Bose SoundSports sit just outside of your ear canal. I have a set and I like them. They're probably the most comfortable ear phones that I own.

I do like the Airpods. I'm just concerned that I might flood them with sweat. I'll look into these Bose, probably not the pulse though, got that covered like three times over.
Thanks for the response.

I am currently using the Plantronics BackBeat Fit, and after a while, they hurt the inside of my ears. The sound is good, and the reception has been flawless, but the size of the bump on them just bugs my ears over time. At least they don't fall out. So far...
Bose... They never seem to go on sale either. :-(
Bought these a few months back. Nothing spectacular. However, they are great for workouts, conference calls, and general use.

They sound fantastic to me. I'm not really experienced with high-end headphones; truth be told these are my first (and open back at that). For the type/genre of music I listen to(rock/classical/alternative/jazz) they(Grado) came highly recommended.
Enjoy them.
Yes, I know that Grado are one of the better headphones and come highly recommended.
Are they comfortable?
The headphones are very light, and I appreciate the attention-to-detail with the 'insulation' around the cables which prevents noise and vibrations effecting the listening experience.
If I had to nitpick, I'd have to say the cushions are not as comfortable as they could be (maybe that's something that will change with time?).
If you're considering a pair of Grados, the RS2e has been very well reviewed.
Thanks; actually, I have Bowers & Wilkins P5s, (which are exceedingly comfortable - which is why I asked) - but was curious as to what the Grados 9which i know to be highly regarded) are like.
Enjoy them.

I had a pair of Sennheisers that looked clunky, but worked extremely well in the 80's. Open back, really long cord. Shorted out and died. Very sad...
