Upvoted because I’m only a year in but live mine and hoping something comparable comes along.
The Gen II were as good or better than anything else out there, and they’re waterproof with really good battery. Feel like Jabra gave up at the finish line …
i have the jabra elite 2’s and they sound very good, but the problem is only the right earbud is the only one you can use while the left is in the case idk y they did that so hopefully they changed that for the 3’s but not sure also they have discontinued all of their earbuds and no longer sell them in any stores. So they’re just selling what they have left.
I am using jabra elite 2 - pretty cheap, just use one earbud and you got all transparency needed. For Everyday i use AirPods Pro 2 - they are shit on Bike when it comes to wind block. I also tried cheap bone conduction and they Were shit also. Just go for the cheapest one and just use one earbud at time - Jabra does the job
Jabra Elite here as well. I do about 1K miles/year, nearly all urban streets and nearly all with sound canceling (it’s never good enough to block all noise). Especially with electric cars, it’s about eyes and defensive running period. Ears are important, sure. But in the quiet electric era (or in cities with scooters and bikes cultures), I find myself looking way more than listening. I’ve been dense urban area running for 15+ years (think NYC and the like), and the change is real.
I know the consensus is anti-sound canceling or anti-earbud and even anti-music. But I’ve run a ridiculous amount of miles over the years and music is a big part is my running.
But to be fair, I chose my headphones based on battery life. Once I had a marathon go wrong and my headphones died at 3.5 hours and I limped to a 5 hour walking finish. Damn, even a touch of music might have helped the struggle.
Best of luck!

Apple-integrated, great ANC but can cause ear pain.
