I’m a sweaty boy looking at getting back into running. I’ve been using Jaybird Tarah Pros for the last 5ish years but they’re not charging reliably and I’ve been having other issues with them, so I think it’s time to look for replacements.
I’m interested in the Beats Fit Pros because of the Apple integration, but the IPX4 rating has me a little worries that they won’t last long. I’ve never run with fully wireless earbuds before, but I’d love recommendations of what y’all are using, models/brands you like, and which ones you hate.
I sometimes run with sunglasses, so I’d rather not have anything with ear loops (I also have weird ear and so loops often hurt me more than they help).
EDIT: Thanks for the recommendations. I got really sick after posting this so my replies stopped dead, but I read all your replies and have a list of models and brands to check out once I can get out of bed again. Much appreciated! 🤙
jabra elite 3 active.
paid them 50€. they’re very good.
the buttons are not soft touch so you can adjust them without clicking buttons accidentally.
the ANC is very good, can wach a film on the treadmill in a gym and you won’t hear much of the outside world.
their rating is IP55 so they can survive sweat.
also they are very comfortable ( if you pick the right size of the tip ) and don’t slip off easily.
a note, looks like they are not sold everywhere. i’m in Italy and here amazon has them. the jebra elite 3 are available more globally but they lack many features.
I was looking at the 4s and the 7s (they don’t seem to sell the 3s where I live). There have been quite a few recommendations for Jabra stuff in the thread so I’ll definitely have to check them out. Thanks for the recommendation.
