had them for almost a year now, even though they are good, im constantly putting them back in my ears
i've tried all the different sizes

looking for an alternative, maybe ones that go over your ears ?

I tried my friend's Trekz Air the other day - I'm now very tempted to pick up a pair myself.

I have the same ones Shi - they come out when walking so not sure how they stay in whilst running - you probably need something designed like this - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07F8RGBW6

for that price, you can get some of these Jabra Elites (T3 link)

I may be shunned as it's what I use while lifting weights and cycling, not running, but I love my Jabra Elite Sport - https://amzn.to/2DHjvYS

They measure your heart rate while exercising, which is a bit of a bonus I think. This can be passed to Strava for example.

I've had a pair of MPow Cheetahs for 4 years now and love them - I own PowerBeats 2 too and the MPows are superior in every way in my opinion.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Headphones...ronics&sprefix=Mpow+ch,electronics,127&sr=1-3

I'd worn them so much that the metal springed rod that runs through the neckband had actually corroded and snapped (due to sweat) and I managed to take them apart, re bend a hook in to the wire and put them back together again. Best £20 I've spent.

Those look similar build to my PowerBeat 2's, and it's the build that I don't like personally. Being specific, it's the loose / normal cable linking the two, because it's loose it sits on your neck weirldy and flaps around like I'd imagine a cold wet pony tail feels like!

Trekz air for me. I don't like to feel totally isolated, hence bone conductors.

oh i see, so the ones i linked to could be worse on that front, but i think being memory foam pads they should be a better fit, which brings me to.. possible to change my current pads to foam ones? (so they expand when you push them in your ear to get a better fit)

I have the Anker version of those and really like them. Battery lasts a good amount of time and sound is reasonable.

Just been watching a few videos on these. I like the idea of them, might give them a try.

do they stay in the ear?
i like Anker, good cheap products
just a shame my current Anker headphones come out all the time

 

[Martynt74]

They have the loop which goes over your ear so no way for them to fall out.

Bluetooth Headphones, Soundcore Spirit X Sports Earphones by Anker, with Wireless Bluetooth 5, 12-Hour Battery, IPX7 SweatGuard Technology, Secure Fit for Sport and Workouts https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07B9R67WR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_DGFYCbJ2ZTMWK

 

[ShiWarrior]

link me Marv please (Anker have 2 different ones over ears)
is IPX 7 better than IPX 5 ?

 

[Martynt74]

Haha just done.

No idea what’s best or what it means but I wear them around the house too and can leave my phone in the house and wander around the garden and not lose connection.

Looks like they’re more expensive than I paid as I must’ve got them in a Lightning deal but I wouldn’t hesistate to pay £30 for them.

 

[ShiWarrior]

oh thats a new one lol

i saw these :

and these :

[Martynt74]

I think they’d all suit.

Plus it’s Amazon so if you don’t like em just return them

 

[ShiWarrior]

actually, yours is the newer version, these 2 i linked to are Bluetooth 4 (not 5) and IPX 5 (and not 7)
