Headphones that actually stay in when you are running

I stopped listening to music whilst running ages ago but have been thinking I might like to start again. I used to find that earbuds would slip out after about 45 mins after getting all sweaty.

Looking for something more secure and comfortable that won't break the bank. Any recommendations? TIA!

Aftershokz headphones. Can be bought in the sales or purchase the ‘end of the line’ stock. Well worth the money. I also have a similar set by karrimor, although significantly cheaper the sound quality is also significantly poorer.
stay in place no matter what you do and you can still hear what’s going on around you. Bonus they don’t seem to mind getting damp through sweat or rain.

I agree with Shokz. Ear buds do stay in for me but I feel safer being able to hear more background noise when running with Shokz.

Thanks, I'll look at those!

Aftershocks definitely

Another vote for the bone conducting Shokz. Just brilliant.

Yup. Aftershokz are ace. Not sure if there are more affordable bone conductor earphones out there but there are some reviews of different brands out there.

Another vote for shokz.

They're very popular for good reason.

I use my usual AirPod Pros but bought these little silicon slip on covers off Amazon that have little limbs coming off to better stick it into the grooves of your ear. They’re 10 a penny on there

Could I jump in with a question?
Does anyone use the shokz with glasses?

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 18/07/2025 22:33

@Iwontlethtesungodownonme Yes! Otherwise I’m blind as a bat. They are perfectly fine together. My glasses frames are (1 pair of reactive) raybans and I also have some with thin wire frames (everyday varifocals) . Both are absolutely fine together wear with shokz.

Iwontlethtesungodownonme · 18/07/2025 22:36

@Alphabet1spaghetti2 thank you so much.
