Suggestion - Over the ear or TWS

Need suggestions for good branded earphones/headphones in range of 6k-8k. TL;DR:(I would be really grateful if you read 😅) Hello Everyone, From past few months I keep getting ear pain if I use earphones(Either wired or bluetooth) for more than an hour. At the most I can use them for 1:30 - 2:00 hrs, before I start experiencing ear pain (Unable to put it in words). What I have observed is, If I stop using earphones I will not get ear pain and if I use them continuously I will start getting pain. Below are the earphones that I have 1. Wired: JBL C100SI, Realme and Redmi 2. Neckband: OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 and Boat Rockerz 255 3. TWS: Ptron and Boat( Not sure about the models) 4. Over the ear: Zebronics Zebronics Thunder and Boat Rockerz 450 What I have observed is, I started getting this pain after I started using boat brand earphones/headphones. And post using boat, I started getting pain even when I used other brand earphones(And as long as I don't use any earphones whatsoever, I never get any pain). Since we have to attend meetings in office(and also for media consumption) and need earphones, can you guys please suggest some good brand headphones/earphones. Now my dilemma is, If I go with over the ear headphones, I can minimise the possible damage to my ear because of listening. But at the same time, they are a hassle to carry and to use/operate, unlike the TWS ones. But if I use tws/neckbands, I feel I will be more prone to ear pain. What would be your suggestions? Note: Seeing from my list, you can guess that I'm budget concious(Don't ask me why I have so many of them, as some I got as gifts and some came free when I purchased large home appliances and some are my wife's). I had some similarly very bad experience with leg pain and shoes and without any other option I had to invest in a good set of shoe (10k+ and Asics, if you have tonask). And now I see why they charge so hefty price. Branded shoes makes ONE HELL OF A DIFFERENCE. Hence the advice needed from the experts/audiphiles. I'm willing to increase my budget but not very much. Maybe upto 6k??? If there DO exist good brand earphones!!!

How is the call quality bro? Because that's one area I'm facing issue with the ones I have. The person on the other end of the call always says there is a disturbance even if I'm inside office/home. ANC and call quality is first priority. Rest all, like bass or music quality is fine by me. I just use them to watch movies/tv series.

Will check them out bro. I will not suggest JBL just because of their build quality. Sound quality is excellent. But it's not VFM. Will check out the Sony products. Thanks for the suggestion bro 🙂

Headphones 🎧 for work and leisure

Recommend headphones that I can use in both aspects of my life. Like can attend meeting throughout the day and then can wear them outside for long walks. Looking for a wireless one as I like to take meetings standing up or roaming at my place. Sound quality, comfort, battery life and charging time are the key parameters I guess. I prefer headphones 🎧 but do recommend earbuds too if they are worth it. Budget 15k -20k I like the ones from Marshal but want to know your suggestions. Drop in your recommendations and help me out in making a wise decision

Please suggest out of these 2 or if you know any other option. Thanks in advance 👍🏼

Recommendations for earphones

Budget no constraint, but should be worth the price. Don't want headphones, feels uncomfortable and too big to carry.

Earphone recommendations for office environment

People of grapevine, which earphone(tws)/headphone(over ear) would you recommend to someone working in an office environment. Budget is not an issue. It should help focus on my work without causing me any discomfort, long battery duration is a must.

Good earbuds

Need recommendations on earbuds I have found samsung buds Pro2 but not sure about their fit. The buds pro 1 were not good. Also do they make you feel plugged up? Bose quiet comfort seems expensive with some bad reviews. I need good quality comfortable ones which I can wear for long hours without them falling or causing discomfort. Currently use LG tone fpw which I got used on amazon. The best ones I used and tick all my boxes but their glue came off and I read that it is a common problem even if you buy new.
