Hi all,
I am looking to buy some wireless earphones for running/gym and am looking for some trusted OzBargain advice.
My main criteria is that they don't stop working in 6 months time due to sweat or water damage. I have always bought cheaper pairs with the view that they are just going to break anyway, but I'd like to get a decent pair that will last me at least 18 months of regular use.
Looking to spend less than $150.
Cheers!
Seconded, get anything by Jaybirds
I meant earphones - thanks for correcting me :)
The Jaybird X3's are on sale at JB right now, $159. These feature silicone and memory foam ear tips, clips to shorten the cable and are sweat-proof. They even come with an app that lets you change the EQ.

Thanks!
They look good bar the dedicated charging clip (I feel like I'd lose it pretty quickly..). But will try to stop by JB to have a look regardless
If you do choose these, they're on sale at Catch. $120 for black and $118 for all other colours.
ive been using the Meizu EP51's for about 6 months now with no issues. I normally only do biking/rowing and weights at the gym though, not running
Mine bounce a bit when I run, which brings the audio in and out due to the tight seal opening and shutting. Can be annoying but just compensate by adjusting stride to match the beat of the music :)
Any suggestions for earphones with ear hooks? Like this one: https://www.target.com/p/beats-powerbeats3-wireless-earphone…
I have tried earphones with ear hooks and they don't fall while running.
But I'm not sure about the Jaybird one, does it stay while running?
Thanks for the suggestions! I ended up getting the Plantronics Backbeat Fit from JB due to the sweat resistance and decent battery life https://www.jbhifi.com.au/headphones-dj/headphones/plantroni…
Managed to talk them down to $125 which is a pretty good price I think
I don't recommend any headphones for running/gym, you'll get too hot and sweaty. get earphones instead
