Good budget earbuds for runners ?

I’ve been using the soundcore life p3’s for alittle over a year and they work great. Actually prefer them to the AirPods I had before. They’re like $60ish I think on Amazon.

I got some Jaybird Vistas that have been solid.

I’ve put my AirPods through a lot the past 5-6 years and they’re still going strong. May not be budget though.

Thanks for the replies. Gonna do a little google research on the suggestions so far.

Also, DONT get Wireless Beats! They don’t connect in the case to charge or disconnect. Total crap.

I’m glad someone else is having this experience. I sent the Apple and they immediately sent them back and said they were fine.

I finally kind of fixed mine after sitting in their case for over a year. The contact piece in the case that is spring loaded essentially gets stuck. You have to just wipe the thing down and push them over and over until they pop back out. Never leave them in the case unless you hear them click to the contact. Horribly designed for what was one of the most expensive earbuds on the market, and I got two pairs. I recently got AirPods Pro for video calls and they are much better.

OP if you find they are crapping out in a few months just get some cheap ones. I got a pair of skullcandy buds for $20 randomly on sale in target and they still fire up if I can’t find anything else. I believe I had some soundcore buds that weren’t bad at some point. If you are getting them for running, they will eventually go to shite from sweat either way. Look out for a good sale and just stock up

Been using AirPods and have been very happy. But it’s only been a couple of months….

Are you running long distances in the AirPods ? Mine were losing the connection to my garmin music watch frequently and also falling out of my ears constantly.

Between the money you’ve already spent doing this “several times” and the frequency in which you’ll use them, sounds like you need to invest in some quality ear buds instead of trying the budget route.

I understand the thinking there but my issue is that the expensive ones have crapped out on me just as often as the cheap ones. So my goal is to find a cheapish one that can hold up. I’d rather keep replacing cheap ones I guess than the 100+$ ones .

Refurbished Jabra’s.

Best thing about the Shokz is that you can still hear what’s going on around you. An absolute must if you are road running.
