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?

    Whelp. I definitely don’t need a new kind of headphones, but now I definitely want a new kind of headphones. How have I never seen this technology before?

      I don’t think it’s great for music. Or last I looked into it it wasn’t. Fine for podcasts and such though.

        In my experience, they are fine for music on the go. I’m not wowed but it’s fine.

        If I really want to enjoy an album I care about, or hear something new, I use my cans
