Any good advice on how to wear clip on earbuds, those tinier ones. Got a cheap Kinyo and the fit is insufficient to keep out heavy noises while on the train. Or is that simply the way these are, not so capable of handling noise versus in-ears, maybe obvious?

In ear is much better, but still not enough when travelling in circle line.

Need to use earpiece with ANC.

Does any expert know how to prevent the headset pads and band from peeling?

there are 3rd party covers that u can consider

example

our hot & humid environment, difficult to prevent peeling if not using a cover

tried bowers and Wilkins PX7 S3 and PX8 S2 today, blown away by PX7 S3 and bought it. Superb imaging for Bluetooth headphones, and has wired usb c to listen on 24/96khz when plugged in to my iPhone. very impressive sound for the price of 559 sgd.

Even better than the PX8 S2? I am still using PX8 first gen.

I am actually thinking of Bose QC Ultra 2 vs PX8 S2.

For me price is not an issue, I would suggest you go tc acoustic and try. Px7 S3 is very good for me, very punchy bass and sound more lively. Px8 s2 is more flat sounding. Right now 11/11 sale for px7 s3 is 479, px8 s2 is 667. I almost fell asleep while listening to px8 s3.

I use KEF ls60 + 2x kc62, and the px7 s3 sounds signature is similar.

Got it from shopee.. but act too late the store $18 voucher expired... so I paid $284 instead... but came with the boom mic as free gift. HD550 have very surprising bass for a open back headphone, detailed... warm vocals.

My previous arm for microphone that serves as a makeshift way to hang my headphone with S hook recently fell off.. too old already, then I got this peg board with feet to hang all my headphones and it sits just above my PC. 4 Sennheiser in the front and 2 Philips in the back. I see most setup is on the wall but doing this way I can use both side. In fact I bought 2 board with feets, but end up. I dun need the 2nd one. that one just keep as backup for other usage.
