Best earbuds for running?

Does anyone have any recommendations? Or know if any shops let you try them on? I’d like to know I’m buying something that’s actually going to fit and feel
comfortable. Thanks!

I have heard great things about Shokz but they are expensive. Following for recommendations for cheaper alternatives!

I have Soundcore wireless ear buds - fit fine, comfortable & going running in them. Not expensive either.

Ah, yes, I’ve heard good things about them too but (should have said, sorry) I wear glasses all the time so looking for something that doesn’t go round my ears/ make my glasses fit awkwardly.

I have glasses and use aftershokz. They are fine and dont interfere with my glasses. They fall behind the end of the glasses leg on your head. I wear them cycling too so have a helmet on top of the glasses and shokz and its fine. They are great for being able to hear your surroundings.

Oh, that’s really interesting, thanks.

I just put on the aftershokz. They hang on your ear on top of your glasses. They hang under the leg of the glasses. They are very comfortable. I found ear buds regularly fell out.

It seems I have very small
ear holes but have found mifo work for me at the gym

I wear sunglasses all the time (can't see without them) and don't have any issues wearing Shokz with them.

If you don't like them, the only other ones I've found that don't fall out while I'm running are these (mine are discontinued but there are loads of similar ones). I wear Samsung Buds Live and Buds Pro for walking and general times when I want headphones, but they definitely wouldn't stay put if I was running.

I like my apex ones . V cheap. Amazon.

Wireless ear buds. I have the JVC ones. They don't hold more than 6 hours charge though.

Another vote for shokz earbuds fall out when I get sweaty. I got mine in an Amazon prime sale for about £50. Plus advantage of being able to hear traffic because they aren't actually in your ears.

I really don't like my aftershokz, I only have them for races as usually allowed to wear them.

I use AirPods or beats pods pro.
