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 love my Sony WF -1000XM4 buds. Great wind noise cancellation and great sound quality with the LDAC bluetooth codec on Android phones.

They're only IPX4, they will undoubtedly break way too fast since I will be using them in all kinds of weather (a lot of running in rain and snow) and I sweat like a pig when running.

Fortunately, I sweat like a human and they work just fine. I don't use them in the rain or snow.
