I really wish people were more interested in open format ear buds and bone conductors. They are the perfect blend between personalized notifications, background music and being able to hear what's going on around you as well as so much more comfortable than having your ear holes plugged up. I wear mine all day long sometimes and forget I'm even wearing them.
Got any links or recommendations?

Think new Sony links are coming out.
My favorite are bose open but the price point is inflated a bit.
I have both current Linkbuds. I love the concept of the first one but they are uncomfortable for me no matter how I wear them (unless I damn near have them hanging out of my ear, but then they sound bad and fall out easily). The S model is one of my favorite earbuds I own. Super small and light with great sound and fantastic ANC and passthrough. Not quite the same as a truly open earbud though. I want to try the BOSE clip on one's, but like you said they are pricy.
I know it's subjective, and not denying your experience. But for other readers, the og Linkbuds are hands down the most comfortable headphones I have ever worn, without exception. I sometimes even forget I'm wearing them.
Obviously your mileage may vary, but if they sound like they might be your thing, it's worth giving them a go, especially with the crazy low sales atm
