Running head phones

[sunshinefish]

Hi, I am now at the stage of no walking during the runs, and am thinking of getting some headphones to stop me becoming bored. I can't wear in the ear ones and was looking at getting these, has anyone used these before/recommend an over the ear wireless set?

I thought I found a post on it the other day but didn't book mark it and cannot find it again today

Thank you!

I have these although they look like in ear they just sit on the outside of your ear, I'm really impressed with them

I also use these and find them comfortable to wear with a decent sound. Cheap too.

[sunshinefish Graduate in reply to jessieb887]

Thank you. I looked at those and thought "they look expensive" but they are actually way cheaper than the ones I found. Quick question, could you wear them with glasses though?

[jessieb887 Graduate in reply to sunshinefish]

I have worn them with sunglasses so I'd say yes?

[sunshinefish Graduate in reply to jessieb887]

Good to know. And at that price...

[sparkyjohn Graduate in reply to sunshinefish]

Yes I wear specs all the time and they're no problem.

I have similar one, but very cheap, as I bought them just to try if this style will be good for me. I had problems with those into ears as they fall out, the normal ones hurt after a while (partially due to ears from glasses). It occurred that this type is great for me for running When I graduate, I plan to buy myself a good ones in this style

[IgaT Graduate in reply to IgaT]

Oh, and I bought those wireless ones I got tangled in the wires and annoyed

[sunshinefish Graduate in reply to IgaT]

Thank you! We sound similar in ears and wire tangling abilities... I have ordered these ones and hopefully they will arrive in time for the second run this week.

[IgaT Graduate in reply to sunshinefish]

Fingers crossed

I got the ones on Amazon that you have mentioned in your post. I really like them - very happy so far 😁

[sunshinefish Graduate in reply to Shakywakey]

Thank you! Maybe you wrote that in the post I cannot find...

I had those very ones. I’ve since given them to my daughter, as I actually prefer in-ear ones. There was nothing wrong with them though. They’re quite good because they don’t block out all other sounds, whilst still maintaining good music quality. It means you can still hear traffic etc. 😀

Thank you! I don't usually get on well with in the ear ones as they drop out on me all the time. After much debate between the two sets mentioned in this post, I went with the original ones, after consulting with my daughters who just reminded me how much chaos me running with wires could be...

[cheekychipmunks Graduate in reply to sunshinefish]

I agree with your daughters! I had wired ones to begin with, but my arm movement kept either pulling them off, or I almost strangled myself! 😅

Glad you’ve got yourself sorted! 😀😀

[sunshinefish Graduate in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Me too! For what seemed like an easy choice it took a while.I think the wireless ones will be a better bet for me. Hopefully they will arrive in time for the week's second run

For those of you that find the wired ear buds keep falling out your ears here’s a tip that works for me... very simply you just loop the wire around the back of your ear before putting them in. Seems to take up some of the slack and stops the wires tugging them out - just thought this might help someone... 👍
