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! 🤙

    I would add, if you got 5 years out of them, find a replacement of the same.

      I appreciate the input, but nah. They’ve definitely done the job but they’ve had their fair share of issues over that time as well. Dropping out easily, losing power mid-run and not turning back on until plugged in (even though they’re still fully charged), etc. Some of these are issues I’ve had with other pairs of JayBirds I’ve owned, and I can’t see anything that says they’ve fixed them with newer models. As much as I liked these for the time I’ve owned them, I think I’m done with the brand unless make efforts to fix longstanding issues.
