I have a pair of Bose Sound sport that I have been using for a few years, and while the audio quality is fine there is an absolute insane amount of wind-noise when using them outside. If there's anything more that a light breeze, I have to crank the volume to hear my podcasts or music...and forget about using them on the bike!

What are some good alternatives that retain the audio quality, but reduce the wind noise and resist weather impact? On/over-ear headphones are not a solution for me, they're all way too bulky for running. Bone conducting ones like Shockz seem flat when listening to them

I suggest Shure earbuds. I have an old pair similar to the SE215 wired that are over 12 years old. I had to had order a set of replacement cables like three years ago, but I keep them in my pocket so they see a lot of abuse. They also offer wireless earbuds but i cannot comment on their weight. I am a wired head phone holdout as I don't like the idea of wireless headphones/earbuds.
