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 really like jlab sport headphones. They have a little hook that goes around your ear keeping them in while running. Battery, durability, sound and price are great.

Me, too! And I love them! The hooks have saved a lost bud innumerable times.

There's an app to adjust the sound cancelling (in addition to simply turning it off and on), change equalizer settings, and customize the control taps.

Jlab's customer service is amazing! Responsive, genuinely helpful, and focused on making customers happy.
