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! ๐Ÿค™

I wear glasses and use the shockz headphones. They're comfortable for me and I'm someone that sometimes gets sore ears from glasses but never the shocks.

your ears aren't mine but maybe see if you can loan a pair?

I tried a pair about a month ago (didn't get to run in them, unfortunately) and I was interested. I mostly run in the city so I'm torn between being able to hear my surroundings and being able to block everything out. Have you had any issues with corrosion on the charging port? That's partly what seems to be killing my Jaybirds even though I clean them off after a run. Maybe I just have acid sweat or something ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Iโ€™m not who you replied to but Iโ€™ve had them for 2 years or so, sweat like a pig and no corrosion on the charging ports.

Awesome, great to know, thanks!
