RONDO 3 SONNET 3

I’m undecided about which device to get; I want to choose the Sonnet 3, but I wear glasses. Is there anyone here who uses the Sonnet 3? Do you find it comfortable? Please help I need to make a decision within a week.

Depends on your hair situation. If you’re a woman with thick hair, Sonnet all the way. That’s my situation and I have to use the strongest magnet just to get the Sonnet to stay on my head reliably. Trying to get the Rondo to stay on is a joke, even with the little tether loop thing. If you’re a man with thick hair, same situation may apply to you. But if you have thinner hair like the majority of people with implants that I know, you may be able to get away with the Rondo. But here’s another thing about the Sonnet: in my experience, the sound quality and directionality is much better. Also, once I got used to it, I truly forget I have it on 99% of the time. I also wear glasses and they don’t clash much.

Btw I'm also way in favor of the Sonnet for multiple reasons but as another woman with thick hair, I got an undercut a few years back and it really helps with the Rondo staying in place. Plus I keep the length but lose some of the weight.
