I connected Beats Solo 4 to my TV via Bluetooth and it works with PS5 like a charm. People focus too much on headphones <> PS5 connection, when headphones <> TV is so much easier and no dongles needed if your TV is no more than 5 yo.

Lots of wireless headphones have the option of a wired connection. My everyday headphones, Beats Solo 4, have this.

I run A LOT myself. I would say headphones that work great for running/activity may not work great for podcasting. The jaw motion of talking is very different then the impact of running, so it causes headphones to actually move more in my experience. For running, I used Beats Solo Buds and then got cheap inner ear coverings on Amazon so they stay in my ear (I sweat a lot so the ear buds pop out easily), this helped for the podcast as well, but I was having to mess with them way too much during records becuase they kept shifting while talking; for that reason, I no longer use them for my podcast. I now use the Beats Solo 4 while podcasting. They are 100% less distracting for me while talking. I have long hair so if I wear it down, I will find myself adjusting that, but it's simply because it can make my hair look odd in the recording, nothing functionally wrong with the headphones.

I have them both, from different sales and because I wanted headphones for work and for home. I actually can’t tell the difference in sound or fit. They both have great sound and excellent noise cancellation. They are comfortable for hours and hours. I don’t like earbuds because they hurt after a short period of time. I’m sorry I can’t really help a lot, but you really can’t go wrong with either one. I have a bit of tinnitus, and I’m sure there are others who think one has better sound than the other, but they really sound the same to me. The battery life is great on both.

Beats Solo 4 is a great option. On sale you can get them for around 130 on Best Buy or Amazon. Great sound quality as well. If you want something smaller the Shokz open run is a good option as well. Depends on preference of size.

I know people are very against on-ear/over-ear headphones at the gym, but I've really liked using my old beats solo 2 wireless for workouts. I've been using those consistently for pretty sweaty workouts for about a year, and I didn't know I was supposed to be using sweat covers to protect them, so the leather is completely eroded now. I'm now looking for new beats that I plan on wearing to the gym (with sweat covers). I wouldn't mind something a little lighter weight than the solo2's, but other than that I had no problem with them. So, what would the best on/over ear model be for someone like me? edit: in case anyone is using this post for reference, i ended up getting the solo 4’s but after a week of trying them out I’m going to return them. the physical quality is nice but the sound quality is way worse than my solo 2’s and it was bugging me too much. I might look and see if the solo 3’s have a similar sound quality as the 2’s unless anyone has a better suggestion

Would you say the sound quality is comparable to the Solo 2’s? I tried out the Solo 4 and thought the sound quality was way worse than my 2’s

I Bluetooth my Beats Solo 4s for now until I get some other in ears for vr. They work well.
