Behind the times, but I am shopping for a set of wireless ear buds. I have used the Apple ones my wife has, but they don't "stay put" and always fall out. Anyone else have this issue? What are you using?

Tech Board

This is a recent thread on here about them. I've used the regular air pods and they actual stay in my ear, but I don't have an Apple phone. My wife has a pair of the Galaxy buds, but we haven't opened them yet. If you want Apple, they make a pro version with the different size jelly things for different ear sizes.

probably the wrong size pieces. Most these days come with different size rubber pieces.

If you are using apple devices, the AirPods interact great with these.They have AirPods Pro that utilize a silicone tip, in various sizes, to better conform to your ears, and , you can purchase AirPods ear hooks from Amazon to better secure the original AirPods.

I had the same issue with apple air pods. I now have wireless powerbeats pro and they stay put.

I'm not a fan of the sound from Apple products. Really depends on the price you are willing to pay.

I have Airpod Pros and they want to fall out all the time in exercise. I'm looking to get some foam eartips on Ebay. Love the product though.

Second the Powerbeats. I run, ski & climb in them. Never come out and killer sound.

I recently went with Jaybird Tarah (regular not Pro) because I was looking for something under $100 that I can have on while doing yard work and to start running with.

These fit perfectly, are comfortable, and give you an app so you can modify the sound (no idea whether or not the other brands offer the same). They had great reviews, and everything said go with the Tarah because the benefits of the other models did not make up for the price.

Best Buy
I was able to find them for $75 around Christmas time.

The biggest advantages of the other jaybird models was extra time (8+ hours v 6); and one of them allowed you to talk to text.

I am waiting on the wrap up from CES this week to know what's coming.

This board needs a CES sticky.

Got tired of looking for my Jaybird X3s I misplaced. So I bought some Tozo t10 mentioned in the tech board thread. Connection seems strong stays in my ear and seem to work well. I use them primarily one ear in listening to audiobooks while I work around the house. I can't really speak to audio quality as that isn't something I pay attention to with ear buds. I have B&W PXs when I need sound quality. I think they were $40 on Amazon. Looking for something inexpensive and no frills I can give those a recommendation. I haven't tested the IP8x waterproof rating. I didn't realize the base can be charged wirelessly so that was an unexpected bonus.

I have new Powerbeats Pro Wireless and they’re excellent quality.

Never feel like they’re going to fall out, sound great, solid battery life, pair instantly to iPhone and they look good

I just bought some knock off air pods from amazon. They were only 30 bucks so I figured I’d try them out... they seem to have decent sound quality for the price. Now I’ll see if they last longer than 2 week

The Aftershock bone conducting headphones are light and actually rest on ears like sunglasses.

They actually don't sit in the ear canals. They conduct the sound to the inner ear through the bone.

This allowed you to hear external sounds so is safer if in public.

I’ll ask another dumb question. Does the sound quality of Powerbeats come anywhere close to over the ear Beats?
