I quite like my Adidas FDW-01 earbuds. No ANC and they will start wearing on your ears after a while, but they ain't coming out unless you want them to, and if you don't like the neck band there's an FWD-02 that does away with that. There's a lot of more secure and good sounding earbuds with all sorts of security features out there than a mediocre brand like Jabra and basic airpods, though, and all of them are likely to meet your requirements better than any headphone. JBL Endurance Race for example are also very secure and have an excellent IP rating that'll hold out through a thunderstorm, Beats Fit Pro are expensive but offer soft flexible hooks with good sound, and JLab Epic Air Sports pack their ANC with over-ear hooks instead if you don't want anything poking into your ear. And any decently sized ear hooks *will* be more secure than even the tightest headphone clamp, without bumping or catching on anything.
r/HeadphoneAdvice • Looking for gym headphones that actually stay on — tired of my earbuds falling out mid-set ->I own the JBL RACE and they are so good for the price point. They offer a sound transparency mode so you can hear your surroundings, The earbuds and charging case battery lasts for a long time, they were cheap, and I dropped one into a creek for a few seconds dried it off and it works fine still.
r/beginnerrunning • Which headphones do you use for RUNNING? ->Jbl sport earbuds. Cheap(ish), and very long battery life. [https://www.jbl.com/refurbished-headphones/ENDURANCE-RACE-.html](https://www.jbl.com/refurbished-headphones/ENDURANCE-RACE-.html)
r/ultrarunning • Good earbuds for Trail Running? ->I use some jbl endurance race ear buds that work pretty well. Listen time is very long and they have some pass through mode that's only useful if you're going below 20kph. Also they kind of twist lock in your ear so they feel really solid.
r/cycling • Best Bluetooth Earbuds for Cycling ->I'm using the JBL endurance race. It's the only pair I got so I have no comparison but they sit very firm while also not being uncomfortable. I'm using them mostly at work or while going from A to B but I think they would be great for sports activity too.
r/Earbuds • Please recommend me earbuds for running ->I’ve been using a pair of JBL Race TWS
r/Earbuds • With Jabra gone what are the next best waterproof IPX6-8 level earbuds for shower? ->I use JBL Endurance Race buds for my rides into the city. It's got decent noise cancelation FWIW. Plus there's an app that lets you fine-tune the EQ.
r/nycrail • Serious question- what earphones do you use while riding on trains? ->Thanks for the reply. They even have anc. I just bought some to see how they are. Hopefully they are halfway decent
r/Jabra • Best earbuds similar to Elite 8 active ->I don't really like open earbuds. I like anc and getting totally lost into my music or podcast I play as I run. As as far as the JBL endurance race, they are on the bigger size but fit in my ear fine. The only thing I really hate is the fact they are touch and not a push button. When I run I wipe my face with a towel and it keeps pushing the buttons. Otherwise I totally like the earbuds. I'll try them out in the sauna and in the pool. Thanks again for the suggestion.
r/Jabra • Best earbuds similar to Elite 8 active ->For running and calls where you need a secure fit and clear voice pickup, I’d go with the [JBL Endurance Race 2](https://amzn.to/3KR5jSq). They have TwistLock and winged tips that keep them in place even during intense workouts, are sweat- and water-resistant (IP68), and the mic does a solid job letting people hear you clearly, even outdoors. Battery life is great too—about 10 hours per charge with extra from the case. Perfect for running, gym sessions, and everyday calls.
r/Earbuds • Best Earbuds for Running & Calls? ->JBL Endurance They stay on and don't get in the way.
r/workout • What headphones do you wear to the gym? ->I don't remember which ones I have. 3 I think but if I have 2, they've never dissatisfied me in any way that would prompt an upgrade. 🙂
r/workout • What headphones do you wear to the gym? ->I like JBL Endurance series. I am not sure exactly what the range is, but I wear them around my good sized yard when I pick up dogshit, with the phone on a table or even inside the house.
r/NewSkaters • Best earbuds for skating without your phone in your pocket? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
