NFT: Open ear headphones for working out

26.2 : 6/17/2021 1:46 pm
Hey - anyone use these kinds of headphones for running/working out? I must have weird ears because I have yet to find a pair of earbuds that won't fall out.

The link is this style by bose?

I had a pair (not Bose) in that shape,

and I hated them, TBH. They didn't fit right and were uncomfortable, but that could just be me. I find that the Apple earbuds are one of the few that fit well for me. I've used Shure and Sennheiser earbuds in the past as well.
I have the beats ones that hook on my ear like that

but they have the little rubber tip. Wonder how these open ear ones might sound. Probably more comfortable for longer times of wear.
I tried a bunch of things..

I run on back roads so didn't want noise cancelling..

I now SWEAR by Aftershokz bone induction headphones. They are awesome.

I use them on the Peloton as well. There are some models that even work underwater.

I've heard of these. Interesting. How light are they?
I just started using bone conduction earphones as well.

Mine aren't aftershockz, they're much cheaper, and I've only used them a few times so far, but I find them to be pretty good, and they're light.

If you just want something to keep your earphones in, check out Comply tips. You can use them in place of the rubber piece that comes with earbuds, and they'll fit in pretty tightly in your ears. You can find them very inexpensively on ebay.

I don't notice them really...more expensive in their line gets lighter I think.
I have Aftershockz
