    Only ones even worthwhile for the gym and not popping out I've ever had are jaybirds.

    They have a new model out x4. Great fit. Great battery life and water proof.

    I've tried many none came close

    Hi - I'm the same. Can't keep earbuds in at all. Earhooks are another option.
    If its going to be sweaty workouts, then I would not spend too much on a set.
    Aldi currently have a few Bluetooth sets in their glass cabinet.
    TK Max is another option.

    Anker Soundcore Spirits I have are very good. 8 hours battery life, good for gym, water proof, ear hooks, pretty good reviews on Amazon. They stick to each other with magnets in the buds which is a brilliant little feature.

    Considering getting these, wondering how well they sit on the ears comfort wise.

    There are some cheap but highly rated Bluetooth headphones on Amazon such as the;

    1. Betron HD 800 for 29.95 pound
    2. Betron BN15 for 24.95 pound
    3. August EP650 for 29.95 pound

    I have a few pairs of the Betron earbuds and they produce very good sound quality for the price (under 20 euro)

    I've use these for the last year - https://www.amazon.com/Jabra-ROX-Wireless-Bluetooth-Earbuds/dp/B00IL7B2YM

    I'm just about to sell them on Adverts as i've just gotten a set of AirPods.

    The Jabra or J-Birds would be my choice.

    Mobi Mountains Cool Cans. I've had them about a year, great for runs and in the gym. Comfortable.
