Good day wonderful community,

I really enjoy listening to music while I walk/run, but the headphones 🎧 I have now which are type of ear buds, keeps falling.

What earphones would you suggest are the best ?

Thank you

I had ear buds that fell out and eventually lost one 😕 so I treated myself to some aftershocks aeropex bone conduction headphones. Love them 🙂

Bone conducting? How do they fit? Do they have a band over your head or just fit over the ears? Sorry for all the questions, sounds intriguing.

They fit over your ear and rest just in from of your ear. Google aftershocks 😊

Bluetooth headband here. There's loads on Amazon and it keeps the hair out of my face as well.

I use Aftershokz bone conducting ones, I’ve found those really good, and because these sit in front of your ears you can still here traffic 👍

May I ask, is the sound loud enough to really enjoy the music?

Yes! I love them too. It’s so weird that you can hear the music perfectly well yet you can hear traffic and have a conversation with a fellow runner. In some races, they are the only type allowed 👌🏽

Was looking into them for a while (for cycling and running), but never committed. Well, I trusted you on Hoka and you were right 😉!

I think I should come back in the next life as a personal running shoe fitter

Yeah I find them fine, not as loud as the ones which go into your ears, but loud enough to enjoy your music.

Another vote for AfterShokz. I was too tight to cough up for them for all my 7 years of running, I always used the ear bud type, which never last very long, I hate to think how much I've actually spent on cheap headphones over the years...one pair never worked straight out of the box, but I'd had them for ages and coulnd't return them. The last pair had wires so short they fell out every time I turned my head to cross the road or look behind me for cyclists...

I got my AfterShokz as a treat after a bad fall, and I absolutely love them. I am partially deaf but even so they work well for me, either with or without my hearing aids.

I wish I'd got them years ago.

I love Bose. The sound quality is great and they fit securely. Although my hair got caught underneath on one run stopping the secure fit. One fell out in the dark and I was lucky to find it.

I got aftershokz aeropex for my birthday last year. Brilliant 👍

So, I listened to you guys and bought my-self the Aftershokz mini, all I can say is "WOW", I am in love. The hold so well. The sound is perfect to run and listen to cars at the same time.
