Bought the Sony WI-C100 in-Ear Bluetooth Headphones with the neck cord in August 2023. I have washed and dried them twice now. The silicone covering the button has come off yet they still work. I’ve put them through hell and they sound the exact same as the day I bought them. Couldn’t recommend Sony enough (I also have the XM4s and I love them)
Oh also, I used them while working outside for 2 years straight in varying weather in south Louisiana, so yeah they’re good.
I enjoy the Sony WI-C100. It ticks all your boxes and have battery duration of more than 20 hours.
I've been using Sony WI C100 for years now, wear them pretty much 24/7. They're Bluetooth, +20 hour battery life and fairly cheap.
I have the Sony in-ear headphones (WC100) and i love the sound quality. Matagal din malowbat.
Right now using Jlab Go Sport which comes in a hard case and has different size buds. The hook around ear is good, but I have small ears and do need to adjust sometimes when I run. Before I was using Bose Soundsport, but lost it and it's discontinued. This was my fav since there was a thin wire to prevent drops and sound was excellent. On Ebay it is sold by third parties and I bought replacement but quality not the same. I tried Sony W1-C100 but it is too noisy, I keep hearing the wires scratching on clothes and it annoys me too much. Looked at Shokz and tried on, but not comfortable for me. I am starting to like ear buds more, got a Jlab Go Air Pop + on Black Friday since they look very cute and available in so many colors. The USB C charging is attractive because you can charge with phone if needed. Worried about them popping out but will wear headband. I run a lot with music so this is important to me! 😆
Sony Wi-C100. Great for cycling and keeps your AirPods in pristine condition for all other occasions off the bike. Thank me later;)
The trick is not so much the muffs, it’s the earphones. I’ve used both Sony WIC100B and various JBL models similar to Endurance Run or T135BT earphones . They have a thin wire that connects them behind your neck, the controllers and receivers are all outside your ear area, so it’s got minimal bulk under the muffs and so you can control the earbuds without taking off the outer muffs. Also, when you put them on, align the indent of the muffs with the protrusion of the earbuds. I find there’s plenty of room
