Can anyone recommend a run commuter backpack?
Apple AirPods Pro Gen 2 are the best. Transparency mode if you want to listen to your surroundings and amazing noise cancellation. IPX water resistant so no issues running outside in the rain. Also the option to adjust sound levels on the earphones themselves is very handy while running
Personal choice:
The 1st gen Boss QuietComfort earbuds are an absolute no brainier for me.
Excellent noise cancelling (not as good as the second gen, but still considered some of the best)
Amazing transparency mode when you want to listen to your music and have an awareness of your surroundings.
Fantastic sound quality
But the best thing about them is the eartip design which has these very unique design with massive soft earrings locking them in place.
I always have issues with the headphone sliding out of my ear, but in the 2 years I’ve had these I’ve never, not even once even with a very intense workout under heavy rain did they pop out of my ears.
Now that the second gen is out you can easily buy them on sale for around £100.
They’re not perfect and have a ridiculous case, but I haven’t been able to find this combination of fit, noise cancelling, sound quality and price out there.
I originally bought them for everyday use, but once I took them out running, there was no going back!
I’ve had several different kinds and the problem is always the same: my left ear if obviously weird because I’m constantly having to poke the buds in more securely whereas the other ear is fine. Argh.
Earfun Free Pro 2 , best sound and smallest buds with noise cancellation 👍 great value
you guys should check out the sport earbuds from LG
Shame this video was released just at the same time the WF1000XM5 are released!!
Do you guys have affiliate links? I would love to be able to support you guys when I buy stuff based off of your recommendations, but I don't see any affiliate links on any of your videos.
Lots of old headphones on the list. Loads of new stuff out there.
Kieran isn't mirrored!😃
Thanks for the review. You provided a wide range of options with key info.
😄 I get $30us bone conduction headphones with built in memory off ebay and they're great! 8-32mb allow download of hundreds of songs or podcasts or whatever. And I don't have to carry a phone or other BT source. Only complaint is I can't find any with FM radio. Quality is about what you'd expect at that price point, they last me about 10-12 months of 6 uses a week until something fails.
non-pro openrun for me… charges really fast even without the "fast charging" option. last for 8 hours +…
