Recommendations on headphones for the gym - Resolved

Anyone have recommendations for some over the ear headphones that can handle heavy gym sweat? My ear buds can't handle it. Apparently I get to an 11 on a 1-10 scale of how much do you sweat. Buds have started falling out and the right one may be dead completely. I'm not an audiophile that needs the best headphones. Just looking for something that will be comfortable and hold up; wireless and noise canceling definitely preferred.
Edit: Fixed my ear buds with an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner. Back to sounding like new.

Not answering your specific request, but I have Raycon ear buds that are a pretty tight fit. I wear them in the gym, when I run, etc, and have never had an issue with them falling out.

I like my Aftershokz.

I noticed you said they don’t have to be the best, but..
I use Bose Q35s and love them. Over the ear, noise canceling, Bluetooth, and quality is great. I tend to sweat a lot, after two years I replaced the muffs for a total of $20.
Headphone themselves are kind of pricey but they’re worth it and last

I got some $50 Tranyas from Amazon. They work fine for the price

The Shure AONIC 215's are the best headphones I've found. They don't fall out, they don't get screwed up from sweat, and the sound quality is WAY better than anything I've had from apple, bose, beats, etc.

I've killed two pairs of jaybirds in the past year and finally just gave up.
At $20/pop, I get the tozo t10 off of Amazon. Buy two the first time and when those die I'll order the next backup.
I'm resigned to the fact that I'll kill anything not rated for deep sea diving so I might as well only shell out 20 to replace it.

If you run, do the earbuds with the over ear loop. I do a lot of treadmill and never have to worry about it popping out. Cheap $30 on Amazon that has a lot of reviews.
Tozos are solid too for $30.

I’ve had my Powerbeats for 2 years in the gym with no issues at all

Just wanted to post an update that I had found a way to bring my ear buds back to life. So the ear buds I have are Galaxy Buds Pro (~18 months old). The right one was basically inaudible, left started having issues and on Friday went out also. I tried all sorts of volume settings, unpairing, repairing, pairing with different devices, cleaning with alcohol, etc. None of that made any difference at all. I was about ready to throw them in the trash when I stumbled across a video on youtube talking about using an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner for ear buds. These are IPX7 certified so they SHOULD be fine to be submerged completely. I pulled the rubber portion of the earbuds off and threw them in the machine.
I used only distilled water and turned it on. After seeing all sorts of nasty coming off the rubber pieces (which had previously been cleaned with alcohol and a q-tip). I decided to just dip the speaker grill portion of the earbud into the water. Sure enough, all sorts of dirt, sweat, wax, etc started coming out. I did this with both ear buds (accidentally dropped the left one in completely). There was gunk coming off/out of all 3 grills/vents on the left ear bud. After drying them off well and verifying the left ear bud does still work AND they both now work at full volume again, I decided to put fresh water in and submerge them for 3 min (about when I no longer saw anything coming out of them). I still have an issue of them falling out about 30 min into my bike rides, but they sound like new. My daughter's ear buds ($40 from Amazon) were having similar issues. Tried this on them and same results; sound like new.
Wanted to share incase someone else has/had a similar issue.
TL;DR - Brought IPX7 earbuds back to life with an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner.
