"Sound: Sennheiser's Momentum lineup, Denon Perl Pros, Technics AZ80/AZ100, and B&W Pi8, in that order (taking into account Sound Personalization and AAT are being used)."

"I even washed them accidentally and still worked perfectly fine afterwards."
"They're clucky but reliable. ... Still going strong two years later, they're pretty resilient - even after being dropped a couple dozen times."
"The Sennheiser Momentum can withstand drops of up to 10 meters (I do climbing)."

"loved the fins"
"Because they stay in my fucking ears, no matter what. ... They have stabiliser fins that mean running for a train, exercising, getting bumped in a crowd of people, or just walking at a normal pace doesn't come at the cost of an extremely expensive piece of tech just falling out of my ear."
"the only thing that stays in my tiny weirdly shaped ears."

"The semi open (aware) tips are great for running, as you don't get any booming/thumping effect from your footsteps."
"the Sennheiser Momentum SPORT earbuds have an open-back design to eliminate that thud sound with every step, and they have a wind noise reduction."
"they are vented so that you partially eliminate that 'thudding' as you run that you get with closed back earbuds"

"they were uncomfortable for my ears ... they kinda really hurt my earbuds after 30 minutes of use ... my ears would hurt too much so I had to return them."
"I found them uncomfortable as well. ... The extra sensors really increase size."
"I found the earbuds uncomfortable to wear for very long (likely due to the extra sensors)"

"Very reliably unreliable ... having two pairs replaced under warranty and still failed on the third."
"right earbud gave out which I presume to be from sweat"
"one earbud gave out after a while. This happened twice"
Well they still sell them. And they are still easily the best active earbuds by a wide margin. But if you can't find them, I'd say honestly the Soundcore X20 is the next best. Very good for a cheaper price. And I know Sennheiser makes the Momentum Sport but I have tried them as well and I can confidently say they're overpriced and underwhelming (imo) *Other suggestions I see might be good earbuds, but the "active" features are critical to me, you can't dump water on your head mid run with just any earbuds.
Mine are ok, and sound good quality. Although no anc or awareness really so a bit of a con and they are the most fiddly buds I've ever owned, turn up or off at the slightest touch. I won't buy them twice, but they're not bad.
Does anyone recommend a good pair of earbuds for running that are not only sweat proof but also have fins to stabilize in the ear? My 4th pair of earbuds have just gave out and I'm honestly tired of dealing with expensive earbuds that don't hold up. Here's the ones I've used * Sennheiser momentum sport: latest one, was great until right earbud gave out which I presume to be from sweat * Sennheiser sport true wireless (x2): loved the fins but like the momentum, one earbud gave out after a while. This happened twice * google pixel buds: they don't have fins so they would fall our constantly I do sweat a lot and I think my ears just naturally kick out earbuds so I definitely need fins. Honestly, audio quality isn't as important as long as it doesn't sound like complete crap

Personally i don't reccommend over ear headphones for exercise, they're clunky and you can get a lot of sweat buildup, especially in summer which is gross, uncomfortable and not great for electronics. Wireless earbuds all the way. Look for options with a good IP rating. For IP ratings the second number relates to water resistance. 4 is okay but 5 or higher is better for exercise due to the aforementioned sweat. I have the Sennhiser momentum sport ear buds. Brought them cheap despite mixed reviews. They sound great and are comfortable and stay in place. Noise cancelling is so/so but good enough for the gym.
Sennhieser sport true wireless. Great fit, fantastic sound and reasonably priced. I’ve been really impressed having moved from Bose soundsport
Sennheiser sport true wireless fit all your criteria. Sound superb, comfortable and secure. Good value too
Sennheiser sport true wireless. Maybe not quite as open as you’d like but everything else is spot on.
Sennheiser sport true wireless. Sound great, good battery life and have survived a year so far with no issues.
Depending on your ears, the Sennheiser Momentum SPORT earbuds have an open-back design to eliminate that thud sound with every step, and they have a wind noise reduction. Plus if you have the POLAR FLOW app on your phone you can track your heart rate and body temp with sensors on the earbuds. Just be sure to buy from somewhere you can return them. I found the earbuds uncomfortable to wear for very long (likely due to the extra sensors) so be sure you can return them if you don't like them. I personally switched from in-ear earbuds to open-ear clip style earbuds for my cardio and gym needs - they stay put without falling out and I can still hear safely the world around me without having to enable 'transparency' mode and rely on microphones to hear the world (which don't work well on windy days anyway). Only downside to the clip earbuds is the lack of ANC capabilities. But dang they are comfortable. I can wear them for 6-8 hours until the battery wears out and experience zero discomfort on my ears
Sennheiser Momentum Sport has worked well for me but I needed foam tips to get them to stay in my ear.
I'm enjoying my Sennheiser Momentum Sport 👍
Thanks! In the end came across buds that can be controlled by tapping your cheek. Bought Sennheiser Momentum Sport.
Sennheiser momentum sport- the only thing that stays in my tiny weirdly shaped ears. Super pricey but got a great deal during Black Friday!
