I'm looking for some new ear buds for running and other purposes, but finding anything suited for a mediocre active lifestyle seems hard.

Now I have a pair of Sennheiser sport true wireless. What works is the audio quality and reliable charging. What doesn't work is the very clunky charging case, and any trace of rain will adjust the volume, change the song or pause the track. A stable 3/5 product. Wearing a hood just amplifies the problem as a tiny amount of moisture will interfere.

I'm not trusting Sennheiser for a new pair right now as their Momentum True Wireless 3 buds had a faulty charging tech. Both me and my partner had to send them in and receive new ones. Bad for us, bad for the environment.

Any recommendations for a pair with a nice balanced sound quality, good case, and reliable controls in all conditions?

The Beats Fit Pros are nice. I don’t do a ton of exercise in them but think they’d handle all the issues you mentioned pretty well.

They don’t handle exercise very well. They slip right out of your ear and aren’t waterproof.
