I’m looking for some new ear buds for running and other purposes, but finding anything suited for a mediocre active lifestyle seems hard.

Now I have a pair of Sennheiser sport true wireless. What works is the audio quality and reliable charging. What doesn’t work is the very clunky charging case, and any trace of rain will adjust the volume, change the song or pause the track. A stable 3/5 product. Wearing a hood just amplifies the problem as a tiny amount of moisture will interfere.

I’m not trusting Sennheiser for a new pair right now as their Momentum True Wireless 3 buds had a faulty charging tech. Both me and my partner had to send them in and receive new ones. Bad for us, bad for the environment.

Any recommendations for a pair with a nice balanced sound quality, good case, and reliable controls in all conditions?

    I think im gonna give them a try in the near future. They cost under half as much as the new Sennheiser momentum sport too.

      If you are considering them, then I would mention that they have regular and “mini” versions, with the only difference being the size of the headband. I’ve tried both and personally prefer the smaller size since it doesn’t protrude so far in the back, despite not having a particularly small head.

      I recommend going with the OpenRun Pro if you’re going to buy some. I have both the OpenRun Pro and the less expensive OpenMove, and the OpenRun is more comfortable and has better sound quality.
