Compare JLab Go Sport+ vs Shokz OpenFit2+. The price difference is about $170.00. I have both and think the JLab does a better job at filtering the exterior sound as long as you have the right fit on your earpiece. JLab has decent sound quality. Shokz is amazingly better.
I just bought my fourth pair of headphones/earphones that I cannot return and wish I had started at the end. My problem is they fall out of my ears. Also I can't afford the shockz. So on a recommendation from somewhere in Reddit I purchased the JLab GO Sport+. These are the kind that are separate buds, but have a hook to go over your ear. Can confirm glasses stayed on, and buds stayed in ears. They are super cheap too.
I use the J lab go sport + which have a hook for over the ear. Apple and beats fall out on me, these don’t. They are about $40 so the price was right. They do work with only one in, should u want to. Eventually hope to try the shokz.
Yeah they hold a charge for a surprising amount of time too, and are less fussy to pair and re-pair to different devices. Definitely the best set I have tried under $100.
JLab go sport + FTW. I have the same sweaty ear issue and the beats fall out of my head. The jlab are cheap and they stay in. (Because they hook over your ear)
I have these and they’re fine. For the price I don’t lose sleep having to replace them every once in a while.
I also hate shokz. But it’s impossible to ask for running headphone suggestions on Reddit without that being the overwhelming response. It’s kind of suspicious honestly. In real life I don’t know anyone who runs with them and likes them. Personally I got for cheap over the ear models.
I got a super cheap pair of head phones JLab GO Sport+ for like $30. The sound quality isn't amazing and it doesn't have sound cancelling but they do not fall out and I can still hear my surrounding. I got them to replace my JBL reflect aero (which I sadly lost) which were also great. The aeros have a setting that allows you to hear your surroundings
JLab GO Sport+ they have a "safe feature" that lets you hear what's going on around you.
I have JLab Go Sport and I love them. They've never fallen out of my ears while dancing. They're very reasonably priced as well. https://a.co/d/5Yzm7i4
This is what I use too. Agreed on the knocking into things but I’ve never had a single pair of “in the ear” ear buds that stay in without an ear loop. I’ve used mine for years and no issue. I don’t notice the wind issue as much but do sometimes have issues with the hat and sometimes glasses thing (I do run with a hat and glasses always but only occasionally have the knocking issue)
Get the [Jlab go sport](https://www.jlab.com/products/go-sport-plus-earbuds-graphite) ($25) take off the rubber ear pieces, and put them in the ear muffs of your helmet. Lasted me 2 seasons so far. Or just do the aforementioned with your Powerbeats. My smith helmet has a little Velcro on the earmuffs you can peel back to tuck earbuds in
