    I got mine at walmart... they are wireless, and they kind that go over your ears so they stay in place. They work fine.

    I have Plantronics BackBeat FIT wireless. You don't shove them into your ear, the part that holds them sits over your ear. I love the battery life and the fact that they don't cancel all sound outside. When I decided to buy them upon recommendation, some Amazon reviews complained that they bounce on their neck, but this has not been my experience because I'm not exceptionally bouncy when I run, so that's something to consider. I have to say they're the most comfortable headphones I have ever owned.

    I second these for running. I spent a lot on Beats wireless only to find out they aren’t sweat proof. They died within a week or so.

    I found the back beats at Costco and I love everything you said. Plus, tight fitting plugs cause suction in my ears when running. That seriously messes up my hearing for days. I do not have that problem with back beat, and they seem quite sweat proof so far.

    Yes, I’m a sweater, why do you ask🥵🥵🥵

    I love my AirPods but not for working out. They losen up every once in a while due to sweat. It’s super annoying to be in the zone and have to readjust.
    Ive been looking for a decent quality Bluetooth over the ear kind but they all seem so bulky...

    I gave up with earplug phones as they kept falling out of my ears. Have therefore gone back to slimline headphones with a lead connecting to my phone. Old fashioned, maybe, but they work.

    I made my own plugs at work, drilled them to fit over the buds, and they work a treat.
