Gym headphones
Anyone got suggestions for a good pair of headphones to use in the gym and/or for running? Cannot stand earbuds, have tried several, including very expensive ones and they just don't do it for me.
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm a big fan of Aftershockz (apparently just "shokz" now) bone conduction. One of my ears must be funny and didn't hold buds very well, but I can throw these around my head and they're on. They don't block out noise which is often a bonus but means you can't hear anything in a noisy environment.
I will have a look. Appreciate the feedback:)
Came to recommend these too. Just all-round solid product. As mentioned though they fail a bit in noisy environments, but earplugs sort that out if you need. I do some ceramic machining at work and use shokz + earplugs so I can keep listening.
I'll also shill for the Creative's version, in the Outlier Free line. There's even a model that you can take swimming with a built-in MP3 player.
I own the original branded Aftershokz and still like really them, few years in ownership now.
Bought my wife the newer branded Shokz and the only difference I noticed was a slight shape change and the connector went proprietary from the USB C on mine.
She runs as a hobby and prefers them to other in/over ear styles.
They're very handy being open ear to oncoming sounds toward you or someone trying to get your attention.
I was amazed what the bone conduction produces in sound. Not great super high fidelity but impressive nonetheless
Second this. I got a set that I wear like a watch, every damn day. It also pairs with two phones so I have my personal and work phone on one headset.
