  • Wireless Headphones - In ear

seanc80 do you know what these are like for sound leakage? Have you had anyone give you the daggers because they can hear your music too?
I ask because I don’t want to be one of those people, especially when I’m on the team that wants to throw the guy sat next to me out the doors of the 06:30 train, because all I can hear is the sh*tty snare of his god-awful hip hop music whilst I want to sleep.

    second on the bose sports buds. really good headphones but have used the warranty two times due to them dying on me.

    When they see Sean’s trabbs they know to stay the fuck away from any form of confrontation

    With Sean on the Bose’s… been using them for about a year - v high quality

    Sonys look the best in situ. That’s most important innit?

    The Sennheiser and Cambridge ones look like fixings that keep your ears in place, like frankensteins bolts

    Might be an unpopular opinion but I have had the Jaybird X1 - X4. My X3 just broke on me after three years of daily use (running/gym/seasonal jet ski). I typically can score a deal in the states as I am a Best Buy Card member and buy the new versions about a year after their launch. I paid $75 USD for my Jaybird X4 and they include Comply earbuds for noise cancellation purposes. I am not totally WOW’d over these as I found my X3s to get the job done just as well before they broke.

      segwin I’m with you on the Jaybird phones, I have a pair of the older X3’s and loved them. They just released a new waterproof wireless pair, Vista’s, this month that I’d love to give a try out. Not a bad brand at all, good quality, good features, and doesn’t break the bank too much either.

      this is likely a dumb question, but has anyone used any of these for running in proper cold (like -15 to -20)? just curious if they hold the connection and battery life.

        303abuser The Jaybirds have held up alright when running in the Montreal cold and when in extreme heat in Miami. I travel frequently with them.

          segwin perfect, thanks. montreal cold is no joke with the humidity, that’s a good endorsement.

          Tried in-ears a few times. Always ended up with ears that were actually painful to touch after regular, prolonged use.
