I’m the same with earbuds, they work their way out constantly. Probably an ear shape thing or something, otherwise I can’t understand why so many like them.
Here’s the set of bone conduction headphones I got, it’s the hanging kind. The brand is “BAICLUD”, just your typical Chinese brand that may or may not disappear in a month: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D3LT2Q28
They are supposedly waterproof, so they may or may not do well with oil. In my case, they clean off easy and don’t seem prone to collecting grime/dust. I’ve no idea if there is a barrier under the physical buttons.
So far working well, though one thing I’ve found is that if my phone is in my back pocket and I crouch down or bend over, my body seems to interfere with the Bluetooth signal, sometimes interrupting it. No idea how normal that is with Bluetooth.
The sound will be bit different than regular headphones, but for me it’s not an important difference. I basically listen to Doom and podcasts.
So far I’d be perfectly happy buying them again.
I think an advancement to this style of headphones would be some way to adjust the length and tension of the connection band.
