Open Buds

These are better in every way, cheaper, and sit outside your ear so you can still hear. [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F1CPH6TN/ref=sspa\_dk\_detail\_4](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F1CPH6TN/ref=sspa_dk_detail_4)

This is why I only wear open earphones. I used the TOZO openbuds on Amazon and they work great for this. I even hike with them, which allows me to still hear natural sounds and birds. They only cost like $50 too, which is less than I seen for shokz

TOZO openbuds are great for running and nowhere near as expensive as shokz. They also work well for every day life

I have tinnitus and bone conduction makes it worse. I use open-ear headphones and clip-on headphones. My Tozo OpenBuds are a solid wireless option. 

I got a set of Tozo open buds and highly recommend. They don’t sit in your ear but wrap around it so never fall off or out of ear like most ear buds. Plus because there open you can still hear your surroundings, a simple tap to pause the music and it’s like your not wearing headphones at all which is nice if you want to have a chat mid run or hear the crowd or something. Sound quality is amazing, same quality as BOSE and there very cheap. I got my last pair for like $50 on sale.

I haven't tried any of those, but I'm really content with my Tozos. The O2 Open Ear, EarRings, and the new OpenWear are my go to's. Surprising bass and clarity for being open style and the price is unbeatable.

I’m gonna say something controversial. After trying the Shockz 1 and thinking they weren’t loud enough and then again trying the 2s and having the same issue. I have given up on them. I honestly just bought two cheap pairs of Tozo open ear headphones from Amazon and I love them. They are incredibly comfortable, and quite a bit louder. The louder volume was specially useful for those of you that are into podcasts. Or if part of your run is down bus streets. You can still hear everything outside of you very well but having the option to higher volume is great. I’ve used these for several 50ks and 100ks. Hope this helps!

For the gym, I like something basic that I don't care if it dies from sweat and other abuse. To that end, I got the tozo open ear and tozo t6. T6 to block out sound and open ear when outside and I want to hear cars and stuff. Both of these are in the 20 to 30 dollar range.
