earbud recommendation for mom
My mom has complained about her earbuds before and I want to get her something better. She doesn't listen to music much, but likes to wear earbuds when she watches her shows because she's hard of hearing in one ear and prefers the earbuds over the iphone speaker.
Her main and pretty much only complaint is that it's difficult to take them out of the case and hold them (she has mobility issues with her hands and has difficulty gripping things with her fingers). Right now she uses the tozo T6 earbuds from about 5 years ago. I recently purchased the tozo A1 earbuds after my pair broke and like the sound quality just fine, but even I struggle a bit with removing them from the case.
I thought maybe airpods would be nice because of the stem, but I've never used them. My mom also asked me once if over-ear headphones are any good, so that might be an option for her as well. If anyone has recommendations based on this specific request, that would be amazing. I don't have a strict budget, and I want to get her something that'll last a long time, even if it's on the expensive side. Thank you!
