"Literally couldn't think of any pair of IEMs + dongle dacs could sound as analytical as the C3P+ for around $70. ... detail is just sooo much better. The C3P+ is just leagues ahead the I5 in terms of detail and resolution. ... the C3P+ is actually the closest sounding one to really expensive iems or headphone that I have."
"delivers the full package here. ... betting the house regarding this on this pair was fully worth it. ... It matches up (I would not say surpasses) a lot of wired in-ear monitors within this price bracket and slightly above. ... The prowess it shows in keeping the instrument separation clean is something that I really, really appreciate myself for buying this pair, not to mention the rumbly yet controlled, precise lows keep on coming and the highs soar without spice, without hurting your ears."
"Nothing short of a home run, here- the Ear once again brings me all; the way the bass hits on this track is very impactful but not bloated, punchy but not overpowering, and Kendrick’s powerful vocals shine through bright, while I enjoyed the way the Sax keeps on coming in at the right junctions of the song, and the way the cymbals play out on this track is probably one of the best I have heard through amongst all the gear that I have owned and currently own- the first in a wireless, and one of the few if I consider all. ... the timbre sounds natural and uncoloured"

"They're pretty water resistant, I've (accidentally) sent them through the wash in my pants pocket and they still work just fine."
"I even washed them accidentally and still worked perfectly fine afterwards."
"are water resistant (I've run mine through the wash and they still work no problems)"

"The Pros basically lock in to your ears. ... I’ve worn mine for literally hundreds of hours working out and they’ve never fallen out once. ... I am sure that I could do cartwheels in them and they wouldn’t budge."
"sweat resistant hold via the type of rubber on the buds. ... Water/sweat proof."
"they’ve never fallen out of my ears while being active - they actually turn off when they’re almost accidentally wiggled loose after a long intense training sesh."

"I can hear everything around me"
"Plus as an added bonus - they are "open back" which means the back of the plastic is not sealed shut like most earbuds - instead there is some air holes behind the speaker (technically called a "driver") on the earbud - this design helps reduce that annoying "thudding" sound you hear when jogging with other earbuds."
"The semi open (aware) tips are great for running, as you don't get any booming/thumping effect from your footsteps."

"Best of all, the earbuds have body temp and heart-rate sensors built in (NOTE - only records data if you use the Polar Flow fitness app)."
"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."
"which have a heart rate and body temp sensor built in (ONLY works if you are using the Polar Flow app on your phone however)"

"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."
"the pros left me with a non healing scrape in my left ear that I could never find a reasoning for. ... apparently I wasn’t the only one to have this mystery effect. ... the AirPod pro 2s were 100% better (with the exception of them injuring my ear lol)"
"I must have big ears. ... I could not get a solid fit. ... Move-around stability and ANC were atrocious, I’m sure because of the fit."

"USE THE STOCK ONES, any other tip I tried outside the stock ones, really make the ANC WAY worse, by 60% I would say, and it’s not an exaggeration"
"having somewhat of a shittier ANC. ... For the use of buses or even home, don't even think about it, the ANC goes crazy with the sound of the engine and the passive noise reduction is almost non present. ... I'd rather not having headphones in the bus and actively listen to the engine than to have these headphones and having to actually listen to the engine as well + weird ANC noises + doghsit quality audio. ... this newer model somehow improves in actually nothing and somehow got an even worse ANC even though the first already barely even had at all. ... ANC: it does contain it, but it does not contain it. ... Bluetooth buds have one purpose which is having ANC, and sounding slightly good. These couldn't even deliver on that."
"they are not noise canceling"

"The sound coming from the TOZOs sounded "anemic as fuck" and I couldn't get them to sound anywhere as loud and powerful as the others."
"The nc9 had no volume or bass even after adjusting the eq,"
"found them very quiet ... On my PC or on my IPhone."

"Fragile ass build quality, they just broke."
"The c30i notorious for breaking at the connection. ... I used to use a c30i and they broke at the connection. ... They also broke but still work though lmao. ... Nah the c30i are great and all but they are poorly built and fragile. ... One wrong drop and they crack instantly."
"Very reliably unreliable ... having two pairs replaced under warranty and still failed on the third."

"these sensors only record cardio data if using the "Polar Flow" fitness tracking app - something that most reviews don't make clear enough ... the data ONLY synced with the Polar Flow app, and was not accessible anywhere else! ... I was so disappointed in them"
I’m not sure on what version they’re on, but my Sennheiser Momentum TW’s are going strong and are class for everything - travel and running included. I even washed them accidentally and still worked perfectly fine afterwards. Pricey but definitely worth buying for a lot as opposed to repeatedly buying cheap.
r/running • It's time for new earphones, please help with recommendations ->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.
r/Jabra • Best alternatives to jabra elite 8 active gen 2? ->Right now for gym and running I’ve been using the Sennheiser Sport. They sound great, always connect and stay in my ears.
r/beatsbydre • Beats fit pros are the absolute best earbuds I’ve ever owned. ->I can tell you what not to get. I hate my sennheiser sports true wireless earbuds. They were alright for a while but now the right bud only charges to 20% so it dies on every run lol so frustrating.
r/beginnerrunning • The best running headphones that you'd say it's really good? ->I recently got the Senheiser Sport True Wireless. The sound quality is good enough. They come with open syllicone tips, so you can be aware of your surroundings. And they definitely don't move as much, so you don't have to adjust them often.
r/bikecommuting • Are open-ear earbuds the way to go for bike commuting? ->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.
r/beginnerrunning • The best running headphones that you'd say it's really good? ->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

r/running • Official Q&A for Saturday, May 17, 2025 ->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.
r/newzealand • Help Headphone Recommendations ->I have these and got them specifically for use at the gym. They are fantastic. I would recommend.
r/sennheiser • Are Sport True Wireless good for the gym ? ->I use the Sennheiser Momentum and I’m happy with it. For everyone here who is so pro-Shokz: the Momentum has a very solid mode where you can turn off the ANC.
