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'm a big fan of Aftershockz (apparently just "shokz" now) bone conduction. One of my ears must be funny and didn't hold buds very well, but I can throw these around my head and they're on. They don't block out noise which is often a bonus but means you can't hear anything in a noisy environment.

I will have a look. Appreciate the feedback:)

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
