Ear fit is most important. I like the bone conduction ones the best. The
fit great and you can swim, run, bike in them and still hear whats going on: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09BVXT8TJ?tag=sgwaw230-20&... ** Edited by UTPr0sim at 12/11/2024, 6:49:08 PM

Jlab epic air sport. Best for workouts with earloops. Sound is great.
Charge lasts a long time. Available through Amazon or website. Couple different price points.

I resent that
I will be useless on this post along with future posts

🤔...So you're saying that you'll be resembling that remark?

For a long time I had the beats that hook over your ears and they were
Great for working out. Then I got some JBL earbuds that I have liked, but would eventually fall out when running. Tried the beats fit with the inner ear hook thing. Great reviews and everyone says they stayed in…but not for me. No matter which size or how I positioned them, they would slowly turn in my ears and fall out, so I returned them. Was waiting for the Jabra’s to go on sale but moved to apple before I had a chance. Just got the AirPod pros and they are the best I’ve had. Didn’t think I’d be a fan of the “stem”, but they stay in better than any other in ear bud I’ve had.

Like Beats Fit Pro more than Apple Pro. My kid likes cheap Anker soundcore
For working out and where one may lose one but also has apple pro2 buds

JBL has a set that runs about $40.00...incredible sound and even a good
amount of bass. The only drawback is the case does leave the earbuds exposed...so if you drop the case sometimes the bud(s) will scatter several feet away. They seem to work a good distance away from your phone when you are doing yard-work, etc.

Shokz open ear headphones - way better than earbuds IMO
They're more comfortable and harder to lose. Also bone conduction headphones leave the ear open so you can still hear what's going on around you.

Apple Air Pods Pro2. Noise cancelling, auto pause if you start talking to
someone. Case functions as additional battery/charger. If you are in the Apple exosystem, they are worth every penny. Wifey is now required to go in to office where nobody else is there. These allow her to listen to podcasts and maintain sanity. Saw commercial the other day that they can also operate as hearing aids. Oh, and you can track them. Someone on here a while back said the music stops if one falls out so you notice it. ** Edited by pburg_hokie at 12/11/2024, 10:17:24 AM

I have used cheap MPOW earbuds for years
Mostly to take the gym because I'm not out that much if I lose them.

Make them cheap with just a pair of scissors

Ha. I actually don't like wireless ones. I only used wired...
...because I use them mainly for taking phone calls while working at my computer. I like having the earbuds hang around my neck when I'm not using them, and then I can just grab them and put them in my ears if someone calls. I'd constantly lose wireless ones.

Probably fine if you're stationary, but if you're moving (like in a gym)...
...you'll grow to absolutely hate being tethered to your phone via a cord. Bluetooth headphones are so much better!
MP4VT2004 MP4VT2004
Ah, I should have clarified...these are bluetooth headphones that are...
...only wired to each other, but are not wired to my phone. So the earbuds are connected to each other by a ~18" cord that I can hang around my neck when not in use, but there is no wired connection to the phone.

That works!

If you're buying them for gym use, go cheap or 100% waterproof
UEMcGill UEMcGill OP
Yeah, that's kinda the answer I'm looking for. These are gymmie buds.
I'm not looking for crystal clear clarity to listen to Beethoven

If you go with earbuds, then get the ones that have a cord between them...
...because you know one will fall out at some point. I ended up buying an inexpensive pair similar to the second picture off Amazon several (3+) years ago and they're still going strong. I thought they had stopped charging, so I bought a pair of Shokz headphones when Costco had them on sale, but the charge LED started working again so I'm still using the first pair. The Shokz will stay on the shelf as long as my cheap ones are working (and charging). Recommend going on Amazon to find the cheapest waterproof ones you can find for gym use. They'll probably take years of abuse.

I've got some by Beats that are nice. They also weren't super expensive.
The noise cancelling isn't nearly as good as the Apple version, but the cost also wasn't nearly as high.

"They go in your ears" kind of advice? I have fairly
old Apple earbuds that I only recently began using. Seamless connection to my iPad so I can study CE inspector courses while I go get my oil changed and tires rotated later this morning. Without these earbuds I probably couldn't even finish my breakfast and get ready to go.

My daughter has some bone conduction headphones, of sorts.
Not buds, but they also don’t cover her ears, so she can hear when someone is speaking to her. I’ve worn them once, and the sound is excellent, and you don’t end up with ear wax on them.
