mkymoooooI've been using a $50 pair of [JBL Endurance Run 2](https://www.jbl.com.au/ENDURANCE-RUN-2-WIRELESS.html) since Sept 2023 and they are great! I prefer having a cord connecting the two earbuds because I have weird-shaped ears that pretty much all earbuds tend to fall out of.

Laker8show23I tried the JBL Endurance didn’t last. Then the beats. Nothing like it once you try the Shokz you will be sold. Wish I found them sooner.
oscarcharliedAgreed. Been running them for 4 years no issues yet
signal-zeroIf you don't wanna do shokz, I've had really good luck with JBL endurance. I sweat a ton and they stand up to it. I can usually find refurbs for $50-$60, which feels pricey for solely running earbuds, but so is burning through $20 a month in cheapies.
TerribleAwareness158I just bought jbl endurance earbuds from Best Buy for like $50 they’re dustproof and waterproof
