I have open ear earbuds and I am a convert; the sound is better than bone conduction and they are so comfortable I can hardly feel them at all when running. They stay on brilliantly other than if I take a tumble! I have the Bowie Baseus MF1 which hang rather than clip, but they do stay in place. I think the MC1 would be fine too. The only slight disappointment with this particular model is that battery life on one earbud has been disappointing but fine for runs up to a couple of hours, might just be bad luck as the other earbud is fine. They are not really loud enough for busy roads but I think this is almost impossible for any open ear type as passing traffic is so noisy.
i think i have those they suck. baseus bowie are the cheapest good ones i have found for $12 USD
Perso j'ai des écouteurs bluetooth Baseus (Bowie je ne sais plus quoi) j'ai payé ça moins de 30€ et je les trouve très bien, bon son, Bonnes basses, excellente autonomie. Por le sport moi ça va mais je sais que l'expérience differe suivant les pavillons d'oreilles... Le boîtier des écouteurs est un peu volumineux par rapport à des airpods par exemple... Mais pas très important pour moi. Je dois faire une recharge du boîtier chaque mois environ...
AliExpress, search for "RealFit F3", or "RealFit F4", or "Baseus Bowie Earbuds". Tried all 3, Baseus is best, then F4 then F3.
I have Baseus Bowie which I get from ali Express for $45 and they're great.
I get Baseus Bowie from Ali Express. They're $45 aud and work fantastic! I also have tiny ear holes.
I’ve had the OpenRun for a while and still use it for outdoor runs. Now I’m looking for something with ANC for indoor workouts. I don’t want the over earphones since I sweat a lot and they’d be too hot. I just want something that stays secure during exercise. Mostly I’ll use them with my iPhone, sometimes with my PC. Budget under $200. Any recs? thanks!
TY! Baseus arriving tomorrow per your rec!
I really like the fact that with this style you can hear also what's going on around you. Fit my lifestyle so much better without a hassle! Plus I've had Baseus earbuds before and I wasn't disappointed with quality at all, just finally admitted the pods I was trying just didn't fit my ears, lol
Got em on sale. The design is neat and the physical button is a godsend. However, they *are* cheap and the sound quality leaves much to be desired. Compared to the Bose QuietComfort II, though, they have no connection issues so far which is a big plus. The Baseus is not very loud, which is pretty detrimental considering its design. For any place with decent background noise, I would vastly prefer something in-ear. While they are pretty comfortable, shifts in position will lead to a drastic decrease in performance as the speaker no long aligns with your ear canal, so when I adjust them, I have to fiddle with them for a bit until the sound is passable again.
