What are you listening to?

So, not what I'm listening TO, but what I'm listening WITH...
I just bought a pair of Tozo open ear-ring headphones and they're a revelation for me. Both over-the-ear headphones and earbuds begin to cause physical pain to my ear after about 30 minutes to an hour due to the physical pressure of the over-the-ear headphones pressing against my ear and the earbuds never fitting well in my concha.
These little babies are nice and small and nestle in there, then clip around the back of the ear. I can wear them for hours and it's like they're not even on, they're just night-and-day more comfortable for me. For anybody who has earbud/headphone comfort issues, these are definitely worth a try! Obviously there are other brands with this same open ear-ring style, I got the Tozo because of good reviews and a mid-level price point to balance between overpaying for professional stuff and buying junk.
Here’s a post of what might I want to try listening to. Being 62, most of my groups and acts I’ve listened to are either retired or near the end or passed away. I do listen to a decent range of music but not really into rap, country, jazz or blues although I do enjoy some of the songs from those genres. My listening sweet spot is Rush, Pink Floyd/David Gilmour, Springsteen, U2, Foo Fighters, Linkin Park, Fleetwood Mac, Billy Joel, RHCP’s, lately some No Doubt, and then a lot of samples from many other 80’s and 90’s acts.
Do any of you have any current acts who might be similar to any of these acts or in this genre?

I generally like wired better than wireless for in-ear. I have a pair of the wireless Apple EarPods I got as a gift and they're OK, I generally like wired versions better. I also like a wired keyboard and mouse - sue me.
When I'm watching movies on my iPad, etc., I use the SoundCore Life Q20+ wireless headphones and REALLY like them. Link:
Life Q20+ Headphones - soundcore US
They sound GREAT with good bass response, have noise-cancelling, and are SUPER soft and comfortable. One nice thing is that if the batteries (which last FOREVER - like 40-60 hours) ever do run low (and mine have never run low even charging infrequently), you can plug them into your device and they work like wired headphones! That's a very nice feature in case you need it. They are only like $70 on Amazon last I checked - for me they are also in that price-performance sweet spot. One of the best purchases I've made in a LONG time.
