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 have installed the Winamp Equalizer app and changed the eq settings and they now sound more like traditional earphones because I boosted the high end.

    Also, they saved my life a few weeks ago. I was fishing in a small creek in the bush and a tree fell. I had to jump out of the way. It was a eucalyptus tree about 4 feet across and 100 feet tall. If I hadn’t heard it (had I been wearing traditional in-ear earphones) they would have been carrying me out of there in a bucket.
