I have small ear canals and have struggled to find any earbuds that sound good without falling out or needing to be fiddled with to re-insert. Good sound is important to me including sound stage, clarity and base without boom.
I have ‘Flare ‘earbuds, I love their sound but can’t keep them in place. I have also tried Jaybird with ear hooks, Earin A3 which sit in the ears but not canal and Etymotic with the double seal in the ear canal. The Jaybird worked ‘ok-ish’ for both sound and fit but weren’t great and then they failed. The Earin A3 had nice sound but would fall out after a while and there was no chance you could be active or eat and drink without them dislodging, eventually they broke on one of their falls. The Etymotic fitted well but the sound was lacking, others have raved about the Etymotic sound but I found them tinny even though I don’t like hard or booming base there was just nothing there.
I do want good sound, now as a reference my normal listening headphones are over the ears HIFIMAN Ananda and love their sound but obviously they aren’t good for portability. Compared to the HIFIMAN the sound of the Cleer buds is very good, not quite as good as the HIFIMAN headphones but come pretty close, which for earbuds is amazing. I can hear the slight distortion you often get from radio voice transmission and have confirmed that is the transmission and also present with the HIFIMAN. To test the buds I used (amongst other things) the 2022 recording of the ‘50th anniversary of Tubular Bells’ which I know to be of a good recording standard and it embraces a range of music. The Cleer earbuds were great over the whole album with a lovely sound, just losing clarity at the top end on Ella Shaw’s vocals in Moonlight Shadow.
The Cleer earbuds are comfortable even though I wear spectacles and sitting outside the ears don’t move, even when active outside in wind.
The buds come with an equalizer app that allows some adjustment without being crazy, for me I liked to add just a little base.

Open ear shouldn't sound so good!
So, first foray into open ear headset and holy crap I wish I didn't this awhile ago.I have 1 wholly deaf ear as a result of an acoustic neuroma, so I can only use the right one. So forgive me if I can't talk about everything as far as sound is concerned with stereo.I take them out of the case, they are ready to pair, pair it up like normal and boom. Done. They have great sound from high to low. Bass is definitely there, not the bassiest bass, but good for open ear.Head controls are a bit....odd, but they work after you get used to them. The case is really nice. Fabric outside, rubber on the top shell to prevent much movement. They uv clean while charging, which....I haven't been able to tell if it does because it's closed...lol.Charges USB c, comes with the cord. If you want to try something new, give these a shot.Recommended.
