Wireless headphones

Sorry that should have said I have the Sony wf-1000xm3. Just great sound but my ears are a funny shape and so bought some to AirPods Pro instead. Sound is far better on the Sony’s though and the noise cancellation is great.
 
JLab Go Air Pop Wireless Earbuds Bluetooth, True Wireless Ear buds with USB Charging Case, Bluetooth Earbuds Pocket Size with Dual Connect, Custom EQ3 Sound - Wireless Earphones with Microphone, Black
For £19.99 they're excellent.
 
After almost 2 years of good use, my cheap wireless headphones have met their maker.

Curious whether anyone has experience of Bone Conduction Headphones? Such as Shokz........The technology seems dead clever, just not sure on the quality. I use headphones for walking and an occasional run. They need to be waterproof, and I have realised I don't really get on with the ear bud types.
I use the Bone Conductors for running and the technology definitely works , I am on a second pair as the ones I had were a few years old. I have the Openrun Pros , in a situation where you don't need the awareness of the noise around you I would say conventional is better , but in a situation where you do then the Shokz are great.

I'm intrigued by the technology, and quite prefer not to be completely cut off from the world when out and about. Going to look into Shokz. Many thanks.
 
I never even knew this bone conduction was a thing until I read this. Sounds like a good idea if it prevents feeling cut off from your surroundings.

I think generally, unless you're on your sofa with a pair of closed back headphones, any situation where you're out and about calls for situational awareness, if only to make it less likely you'll get run over or mugged. I got some Buds free when I bought my Sadsmug S21 but I rarely use them and they would defo fall out of my ears if I tried to run with them. They sound alright when they're correctly positioned, but even with the phone in my pocket they drop the link sometimes. Kind of glad they were a freebie on a phone I was gonna buy anyway.

I've just ordered a pair of Aftershokz from Ebay. Refurbished and less than half the price. Wanted to check the conduction tech without breaking the bank. Looking forward to trying them.

I have these too and don’t fit my ears either
 
@Holyzeus Yeap, ditto at the time I bought them they were the best reviewed set out there, and sound wise I’d agree they are amazing. The fit especially with the supplied tips just didn’t work for me, I had more success with the comply tips but they near felt safe and secure. The AirPods Pro on the other hand never feel loose and with comply tips are great. No they don’t sound as good but I can live with that for a more comfortable fit.
