Anker C40i. Clip on style ear buds so I can hear everything around me too. They’re so comfortable I forget I’m wearing them if I’ve paused the music.
For running I've switched to clip-ons because they are open and therefore don't produce that "thudding" sound on every step. Currently the Soundcore C40.
I use the Soundcore C40i by Anker which are a similar style to these and I love them. I have a lot of ear piercings that make most headphone styles impossible but they work for me! Not great for noise cancelling so I don't like them for the gym
I owned 5 of them and most comfortable is shokz opem dots and then huawei freeclip. U dont really feel it very flexible arc and soft. I mean it. I also owned soundcore c40i very stiff and feeling there and a bit pain
I've gone through so many of these trying to find the best solution. Even ran with an ear in and an ear out for a while. I've settled on the Soundcore C40i because I run on trail where you often get mountain bikers so I like to hear what's coming up behind me. They fit well, and come with different inserts for a closer fit if needed. Hold charge well and connect to my phone without issue. No issues with fit or holding in place for me. Other cool feature is they work as a Bluetooth headset. They're not Bose or Beats sound quality but they are also not Bose or Beats price, I'm very happy with them.
I have a c30i and a c40, and I use them both depending on if I’m going to the gym or running outside. I also have their overear ones for travel. I love their quality and I also love not freaking out if I lose an earbud because they’re so much cheaper than AirPods or whatever.
