Apple-style Wireless Earbuds

I love my new wireless earbuds, but I don't like the fit - crammed inside the ear canal.

I prefer the standard Apple-style earbuds that just rest in the outer ear and don't enter the canal.

Anyone know any good Bluetooth earbuds with the outer ear fit?

The most comfortable earphones I've ever used are the Bose QuietComfort 20s but they're not bluetooth. I currently own a pair of Jaybird X2s and really enjoy them: http://www.jaybirdsport.com/x2-bluetooth-headphones/ I use Comply memory foam tips with them and they don't bother me at all.

I also have a pair of Klipsch R6 Bluetooth coming. I'll post a short review here after I try them out.

I have the Jaybirds and some Sol Republic as well.

They all have the same design flaw (in my opinion). When earbuds are crammed into an ear canal they seal it shut. Ear canal gets moist and grows bacteria and the wearer can't hear environmental noises like cars, bikes, and bears. Having a sealed ear canal affects my balance and it's annoying when I can hear my own breathing all the time. They may even increase the risk of long-term hearing damage from increased sound pressure.
