SoundBuds Slim Original vs Surge vs Slim Upgraded

#1

I now own a pair of the SoundBuds Slim Original & SoundBuds Surge. I previously owned a pair of SoundBuds Sport, but lost them.

Soundbuds Sport had better sound & bass compared to the Soundbuds Slim Original. The Slims are definitely lighter and had better battery life.

I just received the soundbuds Surge a few days ago, so I am still testing them out. The drivers seem to be a little bigger than the SoundBuds Slim Original. The slim seems to have a smaller profile, thus being lighter and more inconspicuous while wearing at work.

Who has owns the Slim Original, Surge, and/or Slim Upgraded and provide a good comparison. Which ones do you prefer to use, like better, and why?

Which of the headphones you have stay in your ears best?

the soundbuds slim original fit better for me. i used a medium ear plug and medium ear flap accessory. for the soundbuds surge, i’m actually using a small ear plug with medium ear flaps. the surge are a little bulkier and weigh more than the soundbuds original imo. i have no comments for the soundbuds upgraded.

the soundbuds sport had a really bulky driver, those fell out of my ear quite often while jogging. kinda glad i lost them and upgraded to the slims.

Sorry to throw another product into the mix, but the SoundBuds Curve feature a loop around the ear and have done a good job at staying in my ear while running.

I like the new Soundbud Surge. They fit lovely and it doesn’t feel like they are in. The SoundBud Sports IE20’s used to hurt my ears after a bit

I have yet to try any headphones with a curve feature. I have to use regular in ear headphones so I can pull them out of my ears quickly to pick up my office phone or if someone walks up to me to talk. I was considering the Soundbuds Life or Lite which I could hide under my collar, but for some reason I am really attracted to minimal and inconspicuous designs of the Slim & Surge.

Thank you for throwing that in, those look like they would be best for me while working out, which is what I need.
