Searching for quality, wired Bluetooth earbuds

[SFGiants]

Have any of you Bose guys purchased anything that was refurbished? Directly from the site of course. I could possibly be swayed for over the ear headphones. I would assume they last much longer/better value.

Looking at these @MrRogers NC700 Refurb

Yes. I had 3 pairs, one new two refurb.

1 refurb was spot on one was crap, pitch was off.

You don't want a headset, they don't last, earmuffs wear in time, I had a pair.

You can make them play a high pitched sound very loudly to locate a lost bud.

I have a problem with having very acidic sweat. My earbuds never last that long before my sweat dissolves the adhesive and destroys them. It's getting expensive, but at this point I've pretty much used them all.

I've heard of some doing that. Even a keychain.

I also like the convenience as @Blusoul24 had already mentioned. Just yank one out and letting it fall is helpful. There is times at work that dropping one would not be an option. You just won't get it back lol.

Whats your fav set of wireless that you used of any style?

Damn, you do really love Bose! How long did you have those for?

I've heard this as well. I tend to sweat heavy. How long did they last? What happens, they start splitting and cracking?

I really like these. Only prob is each seller lists them as used but the description says new. I tend to shy away from stuff that is too ambiguous.

7 years or longer

The ear cups are replaceable. I don't wear over ears in public, but my home set of high end Sennheiser are probably on their 10th set of ear cups.

That's really only because I prefer velour ear cups though. The premium real leather ones last pretty much forever.

Nice, if and when my jaybird's ever kick the bucket, maybe I'll go this route. I don't know why jaybird stopped using the lanyard. It just seems so stupid, if one falls out of your ear, even if it's just hit the fucking disgusting floor, it's annoying, but it could fall into someplace where you can't get it too.

I need to get something that are connected together . I listen to podcasts while trying to fall asleep and the next day the hunt is on. I’ve lost the left side since around Feb . The find me app shows it’s here but it’s dead and won’t link up so I can’t get it to do the beeping sound and I’ve torn my room apart .

I had a Jaybird set for years, worked great, then I lost it in a move. I wanted something that could mix ambient noise with the music for when I was bike riding, and I wanted something not very expensive in case I lost it.

I tried some from EarFun and was very very pleasantly surprised. For pretty short money they did what I want, and sound really good.

 

[Blusoul24]

Really at this point the industry has moved past the wireless headphones that aren't true wireless. All the options sound pretty bad.

If you want wired, just get full wired earbuds.

Can't do that, because my phone doesn't even have a port, first and foremost, but also, I turned my phone off and stream Podcasts, Music, etc. from my watch at the gym.

 

[TomJ]

Which ones are you using?

the Sony WH-1000,

They are NOT cheap headphones

 

[JeffGoldblumLips]

If you don't wanna spend much money on Bose, Skullcandy is good

I bought skull candy ear buds in 2021 and they were a lot shittier than when I first started using their products.

I bought the Bose sound sport ear buds years ago. I love them! I never liked a cord touching my neck with the old wired jobs.

I have no idea how guys wear a full over the ear headphone & workout. The damn things must end up full of sweat...
