Anyone got suggestions for a good pair of headphones to use in the gym and/or for running? Cannot stand earbuds, have tried several, including very expensive ones and they just don't do it for me.

I will have a look. Appreciate the feedback:)

Came to recommend these too. Just all-round solid product. As mentioned though they fail a bit in noisy environments, but earplugs sort that out if you need. I do some ceramic machining at work and use shokz + earplugs so I can keep listening.

I'll also shill for the Creative's version, in the Outlier Free line. There's even a model that you can take swimming with a built-in MP3 player.

I own the original branded Aftershokz and still like really them, few years in ownership now.

Bought my wife the newer branded Shokz and the only difference I noticed was a slight shape change and the connector went proprietary from the USB C on mine.

She runs as a hobby and prefers them to other in/over ear styles.

They're very handy being open ear to oncoming sounds toward you or someone trying to get your attention.

I was amazed what the bone conduction produces in sound. Not great super high fidelity but impressive nonetheless
