Looking for high quality sport ear buds.

I've used Jlabs in the past and I really like them. Although I broke one or the buds so now I need a new pair of wireless earbuds that I can use while exercising. I tried my buddies Bose earbuds and the quality is tremendous.

I've seen some reviews for bose not sticking in ear as good as they shoipd for sports. I've seen the beats fit with great reviews for staying in ear. Although I've always loved bose sound and thought beats was a little flashy... Like they pay a lot for advertising and endorsements and you get them to look "cool" so I never really considered getting them. But maybe they are a great option.

What do you think? What other brands or specific sport wireless earbuds would you recommend?

Dear users,

I am a frequent runner and ran for a while with the Jabra Élite active 7. I choose them because i prefer earbuds and because i thought they had the best ANC. Unfortunately they died on me, and I found out jabra stopt production. Hence it is difficult to find a pair.

So that is why I am searching for a new pair. With the following requirements:

• inearbuds

• best ANC

• waterproof (due to sweat)

• good battery life for long runs

I have been on the AirPod wave for a while but I feel that they crap out on me quickly and do not stay in my ears while working out. Wanted to see if anyone had an earbud they would recommend? Preferably not with the silicon tips but I am open to any options :)

I've searched the sub and don't see anything recent on this topic, so I hope this post is okay.

I'm aware that the Shokz Openrun pro is the best pure running earphones but I need something that's a bit more all round. Details below.

Been using the Jabra elite active 75 for the last 3.5 years but the right side earbud no longer produces sound. These earbuds were generally awesome, except for massively amplified wind noise on hearthrough mode. I looked at the latest model (elite active 8) and while it looks great, I want to know what else is out there.

I travel a lot, so something that's comfortable on short flights with ANC is preferred. Especially if I can also use it for virtual meetings and calls. Small form factor case makes it convenient in laptop bag, rather than my full size headset.

My gym is super loud, so open profile or bone conduction headphones are a problem since I often can't hear my own music over gym noise

I'd like hearthrough/environment sounds so that I can hear cars when running on the roads, but without the massively amplified wind noise.

ETA: I don't have an iPhone

I'm looking for an all-in-one earphone solution, since I really want to be able to go on runs and train in them as well as have good sound quality and ANC. I has been using these very cheap wireless earphones, which you can't run with and want an upgrade too something which will stay in my ears without falling out. I have been looking at the beats fit pro because I have tried them on before and they haven't fallen out of my ears and I liked the fit overall because it has the small inner hook that works really well. However, they are quite old so I'm wondering if its still worth purchasing them, especially since many new earphones have come out.

Another one I've looked at is the new Google Pixel Buds Pro 2, which looks very good for quality, but I'm having doubts about whether they will stay in no matter what training I'm doing (running, sprinting, etc), and whether the wing that's attached is any good. If anyone has any other recommendations please mention them as well.

Edit: After all the great feedback from this community the consensus seemed to be between Beats Pro and Aftershokz bone conduction headphones. I’ve ordered a pair of the beats pro and will see how I go with them. Thanks for all the advice everyone, much appreciated!

love to listen to a podcast when I’m running but I’m forever adjusting my earbuds as I’m going. If I push them in too firmly I can’t hear anything coming out of them and if they’re not in enough they’ll fall out every few minutes. I’ve tried the following ear buds:

.beatsx .jabra elite .about 100 pairs of iPhone wired earbuds

None of them sit right, even with the different bud attachments they come with, and at this point I’m wondering if there is some kind of technique I’m missing or perhaps I just have weirdly small ear holes or something?

Also I’ve tried headphones but I hate the feel of them when I’m running so they’re not really an option for me.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have JBLs that fall out all the time. Same with apple airpods. Looking into over the ear options. For running, i am thinking that 'open ear' is safer, esp bc i am running in the city. What ear buds do people like?

I am training for my first marathon and have run two half's so far this year. Now that I'm running distances into the teen-miles and (soon to be) 20's, I'm discovering my current earbuds are causing more headache than they're worth when worn for that long.

I'm currently using the Bose QCII Ultra Buds, which historically have been fine but once I get past mile 8 the sweat overwhelms the touch pads on the side and causes them to go haywire, starting/stopping music and switching ANC modes. I have to stop running, dry them as much as I can on my wet clothes, and then repeat this every 2-3 miles thereafter.

I got the new Powerbeats Pro II's that just came out, but my ears are too small for their hooks and they moved around quite a bit and sounded like crap. I also tried the Soundcore X20, but again my ears were too small for them to sit well and they moved around quite a bit and had to keep readjusting them during runs.

I am considering trying an open ear design, like the Bose Open Ultra's or Soundcore's model, but I'm hesitant because of how much I sweat around my ears that they would stay in place.

But regardless, what do you all use to run with, how does it work for you, any complaints/would you recommend to a friend?

tl;dr - Looking for headphone suggestions for first marathon which is coming up soon, preferably without a touchpad. I am wondering what you all use to run with, and if you'd recommend them to a friend.

Hello, I'm considering my next earbuds and the most important thing of all for me is a crazy secure fit. I run, I cycle, I workout and always struggled to find something that doesn't fall off. I had great success with JBL reflect flow pro, so I have two pairs of them. They are starting to show their age and after two years of heavy usage, I feel that they won't last much longer. My requirements are noise cancellation and ear fins, not ear hooks. No open design, I don't want outside noise. So far I have failed with Jabra Elite 7 Active, they fall like crazy no matter how hard I tried to fit them and with Bose Sport, the fall less, but they fall, the interface was clunky and after a month the in ear sensor stopped working. I got a replacement, same problem. Looking for some suggestions. Thanks!

Right, it is the new year, so I would like to know.

What earphones or headphones should I buy?

I do casual running on busy/noisy roads, as well as in the quiet countryside.

I also do races, particularly parkrun, so hearing callouts is useful.

My main concern is battery life, as my current airpods (they have been excellent, but are nearly 5 years old now) die within an hour, which is very frustrating. I would like earphones that could survive a full average-pace marathon (I do not achieve sub-2-hours (yet!)).

Does anybody have a recommendation for earbuds for running? I am specifically interested in listening to audiobooks and podcast so music isn’t a high priority. Thanks for any recommendations or suggestions!!!

Hey guys! Looking for some really good earbuds for the gym. Here’s some specs I think are important to me, please recc whatever you think fits best (bonus for tried and tested) -Sweat proof! (i sweat a lot on my face especially, I can’t have them getting waterlogged lol) -Slip proof, basically they can’t fall out of my ear mid rep. I know over ear ones would be the best for these but those tend to feel suffocating while I’m weight training. -Slight noise cancelling. I just wanna mute some surrounding sound, not completely block it out for when I’m running (safety first while running outside!) A good booming bass to really get the blood pumping (some good pump songs would also be welcome hehe)

I have a certain pair I use for work that work well but they’re just for work. I have recently bought the Beats Studio buds but they’re already crackling and sound like shit (those were purchased April 10th)

Any recommendations? There is no budget and I don’t mind spending good money on something with quality.

I’ve heard a lot of good things about the QC Bose.

Please drop any recommendations you might have.

Over the last 6 years I’ve probably spent close to $2000 on earbuds. With the exception of the JBL endurance sports, every pair has either has succumbed to sweat/rain damage, fallen apart, or had battery/charging problems. I can’t remember them all, but off the top of my head, I’ve tried:

AirPods (3rd gen & Pro): sweat damage.

ESC sound Series 3: 1st pair sweat damage. Replacement bud charging problem. 2nd replacement set charging problem in one bud and sweat damage in other.

Soundcore X10 Sport: right bud started glitching and then fell apart.

Jabara Elite 75 & 85: 75s volume would randomly drop; replacement set sweat damage. 85s rain damage.

JBL Endurance Sports: work fine, but they have a touch surface instead of buttons and if a single drop of sweat or rain hits the surface, it will randomly start skipping tracks or turn the earbuds off.

I had another set of JBLs I can’t remember the name of that died of sweat damage because the charge port had a plastic cover that was slowly bent out of shape every time it was opened until it couldn’t close anymore.

I’ve tried a few random cheap pairs I can’t remember that we’re supposed to be sweat resistant but didn’t last. I know BIFL isn’t really feasible, but at this point I don’t care about price if I can get at least 2-3 of reliable service.
