Wireless Headphones?

gt Sep 2021 9:50am, 18 Sep 2021 8 posts	0 gt I need some new wireless headphones. My current Samsung ones are so good that they easily lose connection with my phone when it's in my pocket! What headphones are good for running? The Jabra ones look pretty good but a bit pricey. Any recommendations?

However, since I first tried AfterShokz Aeropex bone conduction headphones two years ago, I’ve not used anything else. They’re light, seriously waterproof, have superlong battery life and the sound quality for music and voice is very good. In my opinion they are a quantum step improvement on the earlier models, including the Titanium, which I have also owned. Not as good as in-ear buds obviously, but very good and the best “running-in-all-weathers” solution that I’ve found.

Cheap enough that it doesn't matter if some disaster happens but comfy and sound good nonetheless.

We have those (not wireless) for work - the sound quality is excellent but they're very flimsy: my boss is on her third pair in a year and mine has lost one earpiece with the other barely hanging on...

I sold the warranty replacements straight away that I got sent after the second pair failed. I would say they were good up to the point of failure. For gym/treadmill running I use Apple pro's and rate them. They are the only Apple headphones that don't fall out of my ears.

Very happy with them the hear through function (using the mics to sent ambiant sound into the buds) takes some getting used to. My only criticism is only the right bud can be used independently and I prefer left for that.
