I want some wireless ones. Are ear pods any good for the gym? Of do they fall out during burpees etc?

Any recommendations?

I see lots of people using AirPods or look-a-likes so I do t think they fall out.

As I'm mainly a runner, I have aftershokz bone conducting ones, because they are safer (you can still hear the outside world as nothing is actually in your ear) and they have stayed out for all kinds of exercise I've tried in them. Expensive, but not as expensive as AirPods can be

Thanks. I may borrow my DD’s AirPods and then go on the cross trainer as an experiment!

Runner. Aftershokz.

Love 'em. Feel much safe in traffic.

I wear them around the house quite a bit too. I like taking my audiobook with me!

I've got the Bluetooth Powerbeats pro which could around your ear. They feel more secure to me than AirPods end I think I prefer Beats. I also have some Bears headphones that I wear a lot and have even used for the gym and running.

AirPods. I held off for ages and wish I'd got them sooner. I run in wind and rain sometimes and they have never fallen out.

Airpods here too - the less horrifyingly expensive ones, rather than the Pros. The Pros are better in all other respects, but the originals are better for exercise - they don't fall out.

This does depend hugely on the shape of your ears, so yes do borrow and try them out first. My sister can't wear them, her ear'oles are just too tiny.

I use M Pow sports earphones. They are linked together with a wire (so you can hang them round your neck if you want to take one or both of them out), and have a loop that goes behind the ear, but bluetooth to the phone. They stay very firmly put.

Another runner for Aftershokz, they're great!

Did uses Beats in ear Sports headphones.

She’s a dancer and trained over zoom using these during lockdown.
