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! ๐Ÿค™

I like a good pair of Tozo of Amazon. Not expensive enough to break the bank but the old pair I had survived a few Nast things. One side went through the wash twice and broke on the second time. On side spent the night outside in the grass when I had a crash on my MTB. I had them for a bit over a year.

The sound quality may not be that of $400 Bode, but when I'm active, I don't really care. I had a pair of skullcandys after this and they had charging issues.

Went back to Tozo and they are going strong again.
