Wireless ear phones for running

ecdi

Can anyone recommend wireless ear phones for running.
Sound doesn't have to amazing just needs to not fall out of my ears. Thanks

Do you find normal earphones fall out? Genuine Q.

I often see people ask this Q thinking "since there's no wires they must be more likely to fall out", but the same people never experience the same model headphone with wires dropping.

Eg - standard apple headpones are the same as regular airpods, neither fall out for me.

Airpod Pros are the same - they don't budge no matter what I'm doing.

Have been suitably happy with these guys too: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Headphones-TaoTronics-SOUNDELITE-Cancellation-Waterproof-Black/dp/B07RPRZLYY/ref=asc_df_B07RPRZLYY/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=205210909091&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4301435246554823389&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1007848&hvtargid=pla-755185474782&psc=1

Aftershokz’s are brilliant.

You need wired ones also it's bad running on road with ear phones as cars might pull out and you can't hear them

Thanks. The ones I've tried are fine for gym or walking but fall out when I sprint. Looking for ones that don't fall out

I don't run on the road so not a problem for me

Yeah decent enough. I could never find a pair of earbuds that would stay in my ear and I don’t like to run with over the ear headphones so the Aftershokz’s are perfect for me.

Great stuff. I have been looking at these. Which one did you go for.? If cycling or walking on a busy road would external noise be an issue as they don't cover or go in ear?

You’re meant to hear the external noise, that’s the idea behind the Aftershokz’s!
I got the Aftershokz’ Trekz Air

I get that. But does the external noise not over power sound from earphones?

No not at all.

Would also recommend the aftershokz - I got the aftershokz air . Love them so much they’ve become my default headphones. I find the sound quality very good and have no probs re traffic / surrounding noise when running.

Lockster

Jaybird Vistas did quite a bit of research before I bought them. I’ve had them around a year and not fallen out once and the sound quality is pretty good.

deisedude

Aftershock Trekz Titanium is what I use and I love them. Cost €79 from Harvey Norman. If you want a really light pair I think the air version is €99

Tipptatlers

Have had the Powerbeats and Jabra Bluetooth earphones and wouldn’t recommend them. Powerbeats broke due to water damage and the Jabras fall out of the ears no matter what bud I put on them. More recently bought Aftershokz Aeropex and they’re the best by a mile.

event

Also have the Aeropex. Unbelievable

ecdi

Thanks all. Went for After shokzs Air €99 in Harvey Norman.

I only have a problem with hearing through my Aftershokz when I'm running 2m away from an 8 lane motorway. I don't do that too much if I can help it. I'd probably still be able to hear sufficient if I was listening to music, but it's all Podcasts for me so I just pause for that section of my runs.

eposhea

I have a pair of Powerbeats Pro and love them. I do prefer the wrap around the ear style tho. The Airpods never stayed in my ears!

Sound quality is great - never had issues. I use them for work too instead of a headset.

Can the Aftershokz be worn comfortably if you have a hat or a headbuff on?

Depends on the headpiece. I wear a buff over mine no problem and also have glasses and head torch on too without any issues.

event

Same for me.

I wear glasses anyway and wear them a lot around the house, no issues. When running I have worn them with sunglasses on and a buff/beanie plus headlamp. Again, no issues

And what about the fit for someone with a small enough head :pac: I remember trying what I think were the very first pair on in The Run Hub about 3years ago or so and they were too big.

Have asked the Run Hub if I can return if they don't fit and they have said no

Bananaleaf

I have actually found the Aeropex on the Brown Thomas website on sale for €139.95 and they will accept returns on them if I'm not happy, so I went with that.

They're €160 on The Run Hub website and no option for return, so if anyone else is interested, here is the link. It says low stock:

They are one size so are big enough. I find they stick out the back of my head but I simply angle it down and it sits on my neck - fits fine and sound is fine.

i have bose sport wireless but actually prefer to the apple earbuds as there is less noise and they are a better fit imo
here are the bose ones, they are still great headphones but when windy outside (or running/cycling) u can hear the wind a good bit more than with the apple ones

Yep, used them here too

I just got the Jabra Elite Active 75T (these ones).

I think they're great, to be honest. Haven't done anything too fast in them yet, but no problem at all with them falling out so far on runs.
