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?

The Jabra Active models have all been great for running, but they officially discontinued the entire consumer audio line to focus on hearing aids three seconds before Apple announced AirPods are now hearing aids so…

Wait really? I hadn't heard about that.

Pun not intended

I mean, what they’ve produced will still exist and there are several generations past the 85s, but yeah they probably won’t support them or anything.
