Totally feel the same way. I’ve gone through the newer ones too, and while the sound and features are a step up, the 2nd Gen still fit and feel the best for daily use. No weird pressure, no slipping out constantly, and they’re just easier to live with overall—especially if you’re not always looking for ANC. Sometimes comfort and simplicity beat all the upgrades.
