    Wireless BT earphones, whose got what?

    So I'm looking at the Bose SoundSport, Jaybird X2/3 and Freedom? Want earbuds for the gym/commute, and recommendations?

      Not sure about the longevity of having buds not connected by a wire, that's why I'm not considering the earpods by Apple, they will fall out and get lost.

        Jawbone Icon was my favourite, lost it though sometime ago...need to find a replacement..... That was for work though not gym

          True, but some do come with small charging cases so I guess if you get in the habit of charging them after the gym or run. But take your point.

            I've got a set of Bose earphones. Very comfy, no peripheral sounds. Not sure what model, though; got them free as an apology when something wasn't right with the Videowave kit we'd got.

              I use Aftershokz Trekz Titanium... I've used Aftershokz for years now, recommended.

                Bone Conduction? Never tried a pair of those!

                  I hate them.

                  I got them so I could run in traffic and wear at events but all I could hear is the bloody traffic and no music. So if I wear headphones while running on pavements or events I wear my normal cheapish sports ones for running off-road turned down.

                  I would give the bone conduction ones away if I could find them....

                    They're awesome - use them for running + cycling. You can still hear stuff clearly around you. In fact they're the only headphones I'd consider whilst cycling...

                    I put down some words about the previous version:

                    The newer ones are a bit better as they have a titanium spring in the neck piece (I think) which means that they're a bit more robust.
