Been using the same pair of Jaybird X4s for like 4 years now and they're still going strong - the fins they come with are a game changer for staying put during runs The sweat resistance has held up way better than I expected too
I’ve killed probably 6 pairs with sweat over the years. Anything that doesn’t already have a waterproof rating, it’s out. Don’t try. AirPods - no. Killed two pairs of supposedly waterproof jaybirds. Killed Beats by Dre. Killed a few pairs of cheap Amazon earbuds that were waterproof rated. They last awhile but sweat is undefeated when it comes to electronics. I’ll keep buying cheap Amazon options from Asia. $35 gets you a couple years.
