I’m looking for some new ear buds for running and other purposes, but finding anything suited for a mediocre active lifestyle seems hard.
Now I have a pair of Sennheiser sport true wireless. What works is the audio quality and reliable charging. What doesn’t work is the very clunky charging case, and any trace of rain will adjust the volume, change the song or pause the track. A stable 3/5 product. Wearing a hood just amplifies the problem as a tiny amount of moisture will interfere.
I’m not trusting Sennheiser for a new pair right now as their Momentum True Wireless 3 buds had a faulty charging tech. Both me and my partner had to send them in and receive new ones. Bad for us, bad for the environment.
Any recommendations for a pair with a nice balanced sound quality, good case, and reliable controls in all conditions?
I always wear bone conducting headphones when running. Need to hear alle the electrical scooters that try to kill me.
I opted for Shokz Openrun instead of the pro model. Mainly because of the higher IP rating. Sweath, rain and snow no worries anymore. I han a set of Shokz Openmove earlier, that eventually died from water. But Openrun is fantastic.
I find the sound quality pretty good, but a bit lacking in bass. Be aware that the wind noise makes them less fitting for riding a bike, unless you cover your ears with a helmet cap or something similar.
Thanks. Im going gmto give the open air model a try in the near future as soon as a nice offer comes up. Safety is more important than bass. On the treadmill I can opt for more closed ones.
