I’m a sweaty boy looking at getting back into running. I’ve been using Jaybird Tarah Pros for the last 5ish years but they’re not charging reliably and I’ve been having other issues with them, so I think it’s time to look for replacements.

I’m interested in the Beats Fit Pros because of the Apple integration, but the IPX4 rating has me a little worries that they won’t last long. I’ve never run with fully wireless earbuds before, but I’d love recommendations of what y’all are using, models/brands you like, and which ones you hate.

I sometimes run with sunglasses, so I’d rather not have anything with ear loops (I also have weird ear and so loops often hurt me more than they help).

EDIT: Thanks for the recommendations. I got really sick after posting this so my replies stopped dead, but I read all your replies and have a list of models and brands to check out once I can get out of bed again. Much appreciated! 🤙

    Hahaha honestly I’ve tried running it’s just not for me. Here soon when I’m caught up on some shit I’m definitely getting a gym membership though.

      You do you! Just if it’s motivating at all I was pretty sedentary my whole life except for some walking and once I found something I enjoyed enough to stick with (running, and trying to do pullups) I just started feeling better all the time after the initial sucky 3 ish weeks.

      I never really believed people when they told me that though so I won’t blame you if you think I’m full of it.

      I hope you find something you enjoy, we come in all shapes and sizes but it’s almost universally true that we would all feel better if we found a sport to do.
