Ok, I like to run but I will admit the main thing that always stops me going more often is that I have a perennial headphone issue I have never solved. I have very small ears and every type of earphone just falls out. I can’t imagine ever using AirPods as apple earbuds are so ridiculously a different shape to my ears! The only type that has ever worked at all are Sennheiser in-ear ones with rubber seals. I have to use the smallest size and they get gunked up with earwax after a while and stop working. They’re about £25 a pair so not cheap to keep replacing. I’ve tried other in-ear ones with rubber tops but they’re not great. Ones that hook over aren’t good either as my actual ear is so small they don’t fit snugly and eventually the ear bit pulls out.
I’ve heard the bone conduction ones are good but I’m worried they’ll be too big (my head is obviously also on the small side) and reviews says they’re not good for speech - I primarily listen to podcasts and audiobooks even when running so that’s important to me.
I’ve just come back from another irritating run where I have to spend almost the whole thing feeling my earphones sliding out, stopping to put them back in, fiddling with them while running, and if I could just find a decent solution I’d be very happy!
