I'm a sweaty boy looking at getting back into running. I've been using Jaybird Tarah Pros for the last 5ish years but they're not charging reliably and I've been having other issues with them, so I think it's time to look for replacements.

I'm interested in the Beats Fit Pros because of the Apple integration, but the IPX4 rating has me a little worries that they won't last long. I've never run with fully wireless earbuds before, but I'd love recommendations of what y'all are using, models/brands you like, and which ones you hate.

I sometimes run with sunglasses, so I'd rather not have anything with ear loops (I also have weird ear and so loops often hurt me more than they help).

EDIT: Thanks for the recommendations. I got really sick after posting this so my replies stopped dead, but I read all your replies and have a list of models and brands to check out once I can get out of bed again. Much appreciated! 🤙

the contacts appear to be plated with gold or some semi noble alloy.

If you were rough as fuck (e.g. pocket sand tumbling) they might corrode. Had mine a year with no issues though, running in all weather.

I hear you on the dichotomy. They be fairly loud although high volumes cause an uncomfortable buzzing on skin (but we're talking dangerous loud). Not enough to block out highway noise but enough for audible speech over slower traffic easily.

Noise cancelling is defs nice, but enough people around me drive insanely I prefer to keep the awareness (and mostly I run in or too the bush).

Everything has tradeoffs.
