"My wife got me a set of Shokz 5 years ago and I’ve never looked back."

"Shokz openrun pro 2. Decent soundquality. Comfortable. Plus that they are completely open so I hear my surroundings. Feels safe."
"I switched to Shokz OpenRun for safety reasons, I wanted to be able to hear my surroundings, but now they're just my favorite headphones. They never ever fall off, the charge lasts for days at a time, they're super comfortable."
"Seconding for Shokz if you run outside. They’re my go to headphones now for daily life now too."
"If running outside or at an actual gym, I love my Shokz. They’re open ear which allows me to still hear my surroundings."

JBL

"I have JBL Tune flex, only ones that stay put for me, sound good and comfortable."
"They’re $30 CAD, sound great, are comfortable, and block out outside sound pretty well."
