Thanks for the suggestions and I have actually done a search both on Google and Amazon and basically found 3 different options:
1. The Earhooks which come either in a version which hooks behind the ear or a version with “fins” which press against the inside of your outer ear and by doing so keep them in place more securely. Most reviews I read seem to indicate that the version with the fins can often cause your ear to hurt a bit especially if you wear them for a longer time. 2. The lanyard/cord Chris mentioned which attaches them together so that if one falls out, it still hangs around your neck. I believe there is some sort of magnetic version as well, but I am not totally certain if that attaches magnetically to the Airpods or if it attaches with a rubber/silicon ring and then maybe the two halves attach magnetically. I just ordered some iPhone 16 Pro cases and also both the earhooks and the lanyard so I'll see what I like or maybe I find both has a use, neither option is terribly pricy.

I placed the order via the Apple Store website for pick up at an Apple Store near my hotel and while I was there asked to have a brief demo of the Airpods 4 with noise cancellation. I always thought Airpods had a thingi which sticks inside your ear, but the Apple Store employee told me that only the Airpod Pro has that and the regular Airpods are basically not really all that different than the wired Earpods except of course they don’t have a wire. I hate anything sticking in my ear hence I’d never buy the Airpods Pro, but I must say that I was very surprised by the regular Airpods 4. When he enabled the noise cancellation feature all the noise in the Apple Store which are typically very noisy, just about vanished like somebody closed a thick door and I couldn’t even hear the employee speaking to me from a few feet away. He then turned on transparency mode and to my surprise I could hear him and everything around me perfectly. Once again, I assumed that this feature would result in less than optimal hearing of what is going on around you and that naybe it would sound artificial, but it really is amazing how good it sounds. I am at this point pretty much sold on these little things with one exception and that is the ease of how they may fall out and get lost. I have hand injuries and am missing a couple of fingers on each hand and at one point when I tried to try to use the play/pause function I accidently knocked it loose and even just there in the store it bounced off the table and fell down. I’m sure I would get a hang of them in time, but I was wondering if anybody is using any sort of gadget to connect them together with a string or cable. I think it’s silly of Apple not to design them with a small loop/hole so you could at least connect them together, but while I haven’t looked yet, I assume third party solutions exist which accomplish this?
