Looking for a new set of wireless ear buds that fit good, sound, and won’t completely break the bank. The AirPods are alright but their shape starts to bother my ear after a while. I’ve also tried the beats wireless 3 and they sound good but don’t block out enough external sound.

I've been happy with my Bose sound sport wireless. They are very comfortable and stay in place. I use them while mountain biking. Mine have a cord between the two earbuds, which I prefer because I can attach the headphones to my helmet and easily pull out an earbud when needed and it's tethered to me. My wife has the completely wireless Bose earbuds and has the same experience as me.

I was looking at those. Hers doesn’t move at all? Thanks for the input!

Just asked, she says no. I believe they come with one or two different sized ear pieces.

Ok thanks! I don’t care too much for the wire in between because it gets caught on either side on the back of my neck at times and it’s annoying.

Check out Jaybirds.

I’ve had my X3s for well over 3 years now, and they are still going strong. Sound great, voice prompting work well, they stay in, and I get between 6 and 8 hours of use out of them depending on the volume.

For a true zero wire option, the also have the Jaybird Run.

If your phone has aptx-hd support you can get a better sounding wired set and an wireless aptx-hd receiver. Since there aren't really any good wireless headphones that's a good alternative

Ive been using the samsung gearx for a few months now. No issues with mine but there are some bad reviews out there.

My wife and I both have a pair of Airpods.

They are better quality than the standard iPhone headphones you get, great battery life and range.

I've worn them for hours on end without having an issue or being in discomfort.

Granted, they are expensive, but, I've tried out Klipsh wireless, some Jaybirds, a wireless pair of Bose, and the sound just wasnt' the same right from the get go.

I have the Jabra elite sports and they are pretty decent. They come with different ear bud cover sizes as well as different sizes for the rubber pieces that lock them in your ears. They are noise cancelling and also have a built in heart rate monitor. You can adjust them with their app (eq, pass through sound, caller ID notification,....etc)
