I have a pair of Bose Sound sport that I have been using for a few years, and while the audio quality is fine there is an absolute insane amount of wind-noise when using them outside. If there's anything more that a light breeze, I have to crank the volume to hear my podcasts or music...and forget about using them on the bike!

What are some good alternatives that retain the audio quality, but reduce the wind noise and resist weather impact? On/over-ear headphones are not a solution for me, they're all way too bulky for running. Bone conducting ones like Shockz seem flat when listening to them

I'm using an older jabra elite set and am very happy.

I had an old pair of elite sport, I sold them fairly quickly again since I could never get them to fit well in my ears. Earbuds with the completely round ear-pieces always fit like crap in my ears for some reason. That's why I like my Bose, they use an oval shape that just slips in to my ear perfectly.
