Amazon - Echo Buds (3rd Gen)

I wear echobuds 3rd gen

I love podcasts and audiobooks while I trail run, ideally I’m getting out for 4 hours each on Sat and Sun. I have AirPods 2 for weekdays but they aren’t my favorite while running. The newer version of the Amazon Echo buds are perfect, they don’t create a seal so you can still hear everything around you. Good microphone so you can take calls. 4.5 - 5 hr battery life, water resistant. Best of all, they are $25. I use ear hooks to make sure that they stay put.

I actually have had good luck with Echo buds, but when they age, they get that high pitched piercing ring that let's you know that it's time for another pair.

I had Echo buds, but felt like they were going to fall out all the time. I got some over the ear ones, and I really like them, except that they're not "open", which makes it harder to hear my surroundings, so I just turn the volume down.

I just bought the Denon Perl Pros and returned them. They are the worst fitting headphones I’ve ever tried. The sound is decent, but they do not have great noise cancelling. I actually prefer my cheap Amazon echo buds so I will be using them until I find a replacement. I loved the Sony WF-1000xm3, fit like a glove and sound was amazing, but the battery on those things are garbage.

I use Amazon Echo Buds every day. First pair lasted about a year, on my second pair. They aren't the greatest but the fit is good and cost about $35. Probably even cheaper for the upcoming Amazon day.

I have a set of Airpod Pros (1st Gen) that I love. I also have a set of Echo Buds that work pretty solidly too. Though I think the ANC is better on the Echo Buds, but that may have been improved in the later versions of the Airpod Pros.
