Howdy howdy!

I am looking to get my dad some headphones for Christmas and wanted to ask if y'all had any recommendations for a little old man. I've done some research but have always been an AirPods/Bose kind of guy.

Thanks in Advanced

I've really been happy with getting my folks the AfterShokz headphones.

They're bone conductive which means they're fantastic for older individuals. They've got the wrap around band in the back also good for them.

Open ear which is good for awareness if they're just on with other things going on and unless they're at max volume you really can't hear them.

Good luck!

These have been my daily driver for years now. Probably newer models but cant go wrong with a good jbl set. Excellent battery life, fantastic active noise canceling, great sound. I bought memory foam ear pieces to go on these and its been great. The ear pieces never fall out as all the weight is on your neck (which is very light to begin with), even with heavy vibration activities like plane rides or exercising.

I have had the Shokz pro for a while. Also have access to air pods and Sony in ear pods.
I use the Shokz a lot more. No problem with the around the neck part of with glasses.
Also can hear ambient sound so no noise canceling

I'll second the AfterShokz with bone conductive. I got a pair of them for my wife after our kid turned 2 and half years old. After 3 years she still loves them, no issues with her glasses, and can hear everything clearly with calls and music while she can still be interactive around the house.
