Good fit is important with in-ears obviously, so depending on what you're comfortable with use the squishy foamy things, the silicon things or plastic ones that just happen to fit your ear well and experiment with replacement cusions for those.
ATH-R70x for listening to music
Use AirPods or similar when on calls.

Use AirPods or similar when on calls.
I find these to be the worst.
My calls are a mix of Zoom, Meet, and Signal calls... I do everything via the computer, and all wired. Typically 30 minutes... somewhere in the range of 12-14 meetings per day.
What I loathe is how the bluetooth ones compress audio (so I never use the microphones on them) and have a tendency to disconnect resulting in messy meetings as participants reconnect.
Whilst I'd consider wireless, I suspect that if I go that route I'll opt for stage wireless systems using radio rather than bluetooth. But I'd want to find the right headphone / earphone / IEM before considering whether I want to go wireless on it.
I'm looking for perhaps the impossible.
Headphones / ear phones / IEMs that can be worn for 10+ hours a day, 6 days a week.
I don't need noise isolation or cancellation, I'm looking for comfort as I wear glasses and don't wish to wear headphones all day or at least want to be more comfortable still.
I use ATH-R70x today... which are about as light and comfortable as I've ever found... but still, 10 hours a day is too much, ears get hot, and there's the ever present squeeze on the glasses.
Any suggestions?
