~150$ True Portable/Wireless In-Ear Headphones - Gym

[Omga4000]

Hey everyone,

I am looking for a pair of true wireless in-ear headphones (without a cord) to be used while I am training at the gym.
My personal preference is to have a bit of bass, but not something that will completely overcome the treble/mids.
Comfort is the name of the game, and a good fit matters a lot as well (wouldn't want it to keep falling during my training).

150$ is the range I am currently looking at, however, if you believe something a bit more expensive is worth it, I would be very happy to hear about it.

Thank you

Those aren't "True" wireless. Id look at the Jabra Elite or Jaybird Run. I have both and they work great for Gym and running.

Thanks for the advice, they both look really good.
A few questions if you don't mind:

1) Do you feel any fatigue in your ears after a long usage?
2) Do they have a good fit? They don't tend to fall off?
3) Sound quality?
4) If you had to choose one, such pair would it be and why?

Thanks a lot!

They both come with a bunch of different tips and wings for fitment. I prefer the jaybirds myself for comfort, the jabra have heartrate sensor if you want that. Jabra also have the better app.

Do know that these "true" wireless headphones have a pretty noticeable (or less so) delay for the audio because of the way Bluetooth works when you need to have 2 separate receivers. There are also other aspects that affect the quality of the audio for these types of headphones. Something you should know in case it matters to you , I personally recommend a pair that still uses a cable between the earbuds.

That's actually good to know. The main reason I want "true" wireless is because of the charging mechanism that seems a LOT simpler.
You have a "docking" station / a carrying case where you simply place them - and boom. Charging.
I wouldn't want another USB cable to hang around in my house..

But you made a valid argument so I am willing to listen. Which non-true headphones do you think are best?
I have heard about the Jaybird X3 but what do I know?

Perfect.
Assuming I do go for the "true" wireless, the Jaybird's seem to be the choice.
Would love to hear your opinion as well regarding the non-true wireless headphones.

Still very appreciated
Now that we are not talking exclusively about "true" wireless, I would love if you contribute as well!

Yep , that's the one that I think is best for you , they are meant to be used while exercising , they are sweat-proof and all that. Though I haven't personally used them I only heard good things about them and they seem pretty popular.
