Wireless earbud recommendations please! (must have a decent mic for Zoom meetings and also good for jogging). Thanks!

I thought I might treat myself to some wireless earbuds. I'd love your recommendations please! (I'll be using them with my iPhone and MacBook)

– must have a decent mic, so I can use them for Zoom meetings
– must be suitable for moving around/jogging

Thanks so much, and hope you're all getting some rest – I love the week between Christmas and NY.

  • Hi Brendan,

    Hope you had a lovely Christmas. I bought these Bose Soundsport ones in November they are fantastic! My first wireless pair - I have the Baltic Blue ones. Amazing sound quality and Mic, don't fall out and really comfy. They come with a charging case and 3 different size earbuds so you can find the right fit :)

  • Jabre elite are great. I have the 75's but there are new 85's out which I presume are a bit better. Easy to navigate controls, superb sound and definitely don't fall out when I run.
  • I have had 2 pairs of Bose (QC20i and QC35 mk1) and I am very very disappointed with the quality. I heard a lot of great things about the AirPod Pros. I also heard great recommendations from people I personally know. They seamlessly switch between (Apple) devices and are super portable. I will soon replace my 2 pairs of kinda broke Boses with AirPods Pro. As you are saying you are already in the ecosystem, I think you should definitely consider these as an amazing option.
  • I have Google Pixel Buds and have been using since November with no problems. I've got an Android phone and they work seamlessly with my phone and laptop
  • I really recommend Bose QuietComfort

    However, I am hearing very good reviews on Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2

    Specifically for sport, Jabra is doing some neat products

  • Thank you for your question.
    Looking for exactly same thing. Haha!
    I’ll stay here to read too. ;)
    Happy holidays to all!
  • Hey Brendan, I've heard good things about these ones

  • Airpods have really been a life changer for me! also heard amazing reviews on raycon through youtube, hope this helps
  • Got Bose QC (Quiet Comfort?) earbuds for Xmas and they are brilliant Great sound quality, superb noise cancelling, very comfortable (have three different sizes of silicon earpieces), and don't fall out when I'm doing Daily Dancing. They do have a 'sport' model, though, so maybe they would be even better for jogging?
  • Got myself AirPods Pro a couple months back and they’re great! They do a great job of noise cancellation and switch across my Apple devices pretty seamlessly. Plus it comes with 3 in ear bud sizes to make sure they’re snug. Obvious option chosen by the masses but they are good!
  • Hi Brendan,

    I am using Huawei wireless earbud and have been jogging with them not once they fell out, so it is been checked and approved. I haven't done Zoom calls with them, so have not tested the mic but wil try to do so and will let you know!
  • I'm using Jaybird Vista's. Had them about 6 months, decent for running in, good battery, easy connectivity. Not "noise cancelling" but I like them.
  • I have these and they are amazing! I run in them all the time! https://www.jaybirdsport.com/en-gb
  • I use Urbanista Stockholm, they're great for running and talking, last for hours and reasonably priced. I've recommended them to lots of people!
  • Hi Brendan

    I’ve got a pair of RHA TrueConnect which I can highly recommend. They sound amazing, don’t fall out when running, a single charge lasts hours, and are comfortable enough to be worn for copious amounts of Zoom meetings.

    I’ve also bought my partner a pair of Cambridge Audio Melomania, which always get rave reviews. She hasn’t used them yet, but here are a couple of options for you.
