"I put them in my ear, put the helmet on, then do one final “push” with my finger to seat them in my ear for the ride. ... The batteries die before they work out of my ear."
"they are so comfortable that both I and my husband have had to feel our ears to check whether we were still wearing them."
"Also super bonus I've never head banged with earphones this hard besides with these soundcores, they stick to me like glue even when I'm in a metal mood and I'm headbanging for a good hour."

"their customer service is *AMAZING*: I bought 1 pair sometime before the pandemic, and after they stopped charging about a month outside the 18 month warranty, they not only replaced them free of charge, but sent me the upgraded version (the model originally had click controls, but now has touch controls)."
"I asked for a 128gb card rather than a discount. And they complied. It got here in a week through free shipping. 128gb is perfect."
"Their support is the best I had: they replaced my watch for free when it had an issue, 2 weeks before the end of warranty."

"Transparency Mode is good on both. OnePlus sounds a bit more natural. ... They are excellent, after a while I forgot that I had them in the ear because they are so lightweight. I could hear everything naturally, although a little bit amplified, but there was no artifacts or distortion from the buds. Walking through the vegetable section I could clearly hear the misting of the vegetables going on about 30 ft away, I could hear people talking clearly and everything as if the buds weren't in my ear. ... Then walking through the parking lot I could hear the electric cars slowly creeping up on me and carts creaking from a while away ... So yes, the transparency mode is amazing, tier S as they would say"
"the transparency mode is the best I’ve heard yet"
"It also has way better anc and transparency which probably does make up for the sound. ... I think the Buds 4 smokes it out of the water. Buds 4 are comparable to Ear 2024s"

"They cost $25 and sound better than almost every more expensive pair I've owned."
"the life note 3 sounds better to my ears in first impressions. ... Life note 3 had this intimate detailed sound that was never irritating or noisy to ears."
"when I need good music especially in an ultra I need it to sound good."

"I use it daily, run, bike, climb, at the gym and on errands. ... Rain, snow, heat and sweat— it’s never let me down."

"AirPods are built to last a year the then they fail. ... Every year, right after the warranty expires, one ear bud fails its almost a joke to us at this point. ... we've had 8-9 pairs of air pods fail ... One of the air pods just quit working on all the sets they've had..."
"Three months later, one earbud stopped working."
"R50i has an issue where it sometimes stops working all together, once it clicks into that deep sleep the reset won't work no matter what you do because there isn't actually a physical button on it or on the box."

"these didn’t last me more than two months before messing up from sweat!"
"Killed two pairs of supposedly waterproof jaybirds. ... They last awhile but sweat is undefeated when it comes to electronics."
"I've killed too many of them with sweat ... it'd be cool if they didn't break instead."

"The first half marathon I ran I was under 50% at the end of the run and that’s when I said oh this is what they’re talking about. ... If I wanted to consider running marathons or longer then yeah, this won’t cut it anymore."
"Also the battery life was trash, I’d leave my new series 10 in the drawer charged and it’d be dead the next day."
"The battery life is a literal joke. ... Do an activity? There goes 75% of your battery."

"they got wet and died ... which sucks for 200$ ear buds"
"the right earbud just stopped working after one day I stepped away while wearing it still connected to my laptop. ... Tried resetting and everything else, but it just won't connect or work properly, this is tiresome."
"Bought redmi 6 buds play in June, and in September, its battery started to drain. Even after leaving the buds in the case for the whole day, it was charged only 50%."

"they finally stopped recharging about a month ago"
They don't make them anymore. Mine just died and I am looking for something similar to replace them.
r/workout • Best Headphones for Working Out? ->Wireless earbuds just don’t seem to last so far my Jaybird vista the first ones lasted the longest. Apart from those they just break on me in a few months without even using them to train.
r/fightgear • [question] wireless earphones while on the heavy bag recommendations? ->I have had a pair of Jaybird Vista for a while and I am very happy. Seems like they are owned by Logitech which is Swiss after a quick google
r/BuyFromEU • European Alternative to In-Ear Headphones (Wired and Bluetooth) ->In ear, I haven't tried but don't imagine the over ear ones staying on when doing cardia. Recommended brand is Jaybird Vista ear buds, gen 1 were great for the gym but heard bad things about gen 2 though
r/AskUK • Do you use in ear or over the ear headphones while working out? ->I used Jaybird Vistas for a number of years and liked them, but they had a habit of dying (thankfully Jaybird was great about replacing them, but it was a hassle). Switched to AirPod Pro II’s about a year ago and love them. Definitely not as rugged as the Jaybirds but I haven’t had any trouble with them at all. Best buds I’ve ever tried.
r/trailrunning • Runners, what are the best RUNNING headphones currently? ->Have my 65T Active since 2021 they are working okay but starting to see and experience battery charging issues. Had the Elite 8 Active for a week and returned them because they just keep falling off my ears during intense HIIT workouts. Jabra for me is okay when not working out and they stay on but during workouts like on the treadmill I have to constantly readjust them. Annoying. I also have the jaybird Vistas and they work amazing. Had it the same time I purchased the 65T in 2021 and they are still working perfectly.
r/Jabra • Quality of Jabra headphones ->I just got a pair of the Shokz open run pro 2 and I can’t imagine using an in ear again for runs or workouts. I had the Jaybird vistas and JBL endurance peaks, but went through 3 pair of the jaybirds along with 2 of the JBLs for various issues. I’d buy the shokz again.
r/XXRunning • Running headphones that totally won’t fall out? ->Jaybird Vista. They stay put, are really confortable, have a long battery life, and sound good. I use them all the time: lifting, running, walking, yard work, shopping, traveling...
r/workout • Best Headphones for Working Out? ->Jaybird Vista. Don’t sell them new any longer but you may be able to find them still. Mine are 6 years old and still going strong.
r/BuyItForLife • Looking for quality wireless earphones ->Hate to steal OP’s thread. I just posted but removed my post because OP just asked the same question that I was going to ask. I am replacing my Jaybird Vista for something newer and better. If you are not sold on the Momentum Sports… what other buds would you choose?
r/Earbuds • Best earbuds fit/Sound for running ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
