I'm looking into buying some headphones for the gym, and I'd like to give Fairphone products a try. My experience with earbuds is that they tend to be hard a fit that can stay put during a whole run, and with larger over-ears I worry about getting my ears too hot during the exercise.

So between the two, which one would you choose?

I hate buds only, they are always working their way out of my ears. I must have strange ears as I can't understand how those things are so popular.

Why not just but some with ear hooks? There's like 1000s of options. I have a set I bought for $20 that have lasted for almost a decade now that stay firmly in my ears during my workout because of the ear hooks.

Is there any type of "universal" hook that one could buy? If you can recommend one I'd appreciate it.
