Not a lot of traffic on the Tech board, so I'll inquire here (against my better judgement)

I am looking for a set of wireless earbuds. I want them to sound clean, but I want them to be loud. I'll use them working out and on the mower and such. They don't have to be a major brand. I just want clarity and loud enough I can hear over the sound of the mower and any other loud area/gathering.

FYI, I have a Samsung S10 phone and I've got a pair of the TOZO T10s. Good earbuds, just not loud enough for certain things I want to do. I also have an older pair of powerbeats wired earbuds that still sound great, but I want to go wireless.

If you have an iPhone just get AirPods and be done with it.

Eta: if you want to cut grass with them, you need to get an earplug set instead of just blasting out your eardrums. I have a set of Elgin ruckus that work wel for this.

I like the ear hooks of the powerbeats pro's. Never had them move while running/working out/etc.

What kind of phone do you have? If iPhone, AirPods all the way. If Android, just about any pair from Best Buy will work. Sony and Bose have some nice ones.

I've only heard good things about the airpod pros.

That's one thing I've found to kind of suck with most modern devices. They limit volume based on some safety standards I'm assuming. You may be hard pressed to find something that lets you go louder than the norm.

Powerbeats pro here. I don't like the earbuds only designs and the powerbeats pros have a hook thats fits great and they can't fall off 99% of the time.

Ordered these about a year ago and love them. I have a set of Bose as well and while they are better, these are perfect for outside work.

I bought some powerbeats pro last year and love them...the ring around the ear keeps them in place while I work out and the sound quality is great

While not completely wireless, I've used the over-ear Jlab for years. The first pair I had still work, they just don't use the same bluetooth software as the phone I have now. I use them mowing, working in the shop (machines running), and working out. Can't beat em, and if I lose them, I'm not out much. The best part is that they actually stay in place and are comfortable. I've tried the airpods and don't care for how they fit.

I have the Sony WF-XB700 Extra Bass and the sound is amazing. They are not noise canceling and they don't have a fancy app. But they sound awesome, fit great, and are great for working out.

What you want is noise cancelling buds, not just loud buds. People rave about AirPods. I use Jabro 75t elite actives. You can get great cheap buds with same performance as Apple and Jabro for under $50 on Amazon.

Sennheiser may be the best out there for the price. They put out incredibly accurate and rich sounding headphones/earbuds, and this newest release is killer.

I second this. Sennheiser has been my preferred brand of headphones for years now.

They are $250. They better be the flat out best period because they are miles away from the best value.

My AirPod Pros have noise cancelling that works fine with the lawnmower and I don't have to blast my eardrums.

Sound quality on them is pretty bad, but they're functionality makes up for that. I don't think their worth the price though. Mine were a gift.

Beats

I've had these for a year plus. Work out almost every day. Can run in these without them falling out. Good sound quality (maybe not the best sound quality, but I need them to stay in my ears!)
