Do you know what they were called? I'm looking for over ear ones that work and sound okay.
These were the cheap ones: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007582608533.html
They weren't as good as the $200 Shoks pair, but my shokz have broken a little and the company wont address it, so I prefer the cheap pair because if they break I'll just get another. They're good enough quality and for the price difference it's a no brainer for me.
Wow, my mum was just talking about similar ones she got online and how she can hardly hear the wind. If you've used then outdoors, has that been the case for you too?
They're okay, I wear them under a beanie which sorts most wind noise at the moment.
I just bought the same ones as SaneMartigan and they've been good. My other pair are Lenovo and have been fine aside from my use case of wearing them with a helmet.
Things are pretty good on Aliexpress, just don't go for anything that looks too good to be true and check a couple of listings to get a sense of pricing
