    Default Headphones/ear buds

    What ya got? I recently washed a pair of wireless earbuds (skull candy) that I was pretty happy with but towards the end I felt like they wouldnt get loud enough and my hearing is fine. May have to do with sweating my ass off with them on, moisture, etc.

    I was considering some of those bone conduction pairs next to keep stuff out of my ears.

    I just use the regular apple earbuds with the cord. I don't really want blue tooth anything hanging out that close to my brain.

    The ear buds give me a headache. I’ll go phone on speaker unless I’m in a public place.

    I have a pair of Bose that I wear while I work. A lot more comfortable than any of the hard plastic ones. Battery life is about a 5 hours of continuous listening, they re-charge quickly. I like them

    If you have an iPhone and want Bluetooth. Can’t go wrong with the AirPods. Mainly for the comparability and their noise canceling is very good as far as headphones goes.

    I have the TOZO-T6 and they have been great. They are waterproof as well. I wear them 6-8 hours a day cutting grass rain or shine and have had no issues. Battery lasts 3-4 days between charges as well.

    Recently got the bose noise canceling.

    They are 10x more comfortable than the cheaper pairs I've had.

    My wirehair ate a set, the others I bought I didn't like long term in place.

    I thought about the skull candy or the sig sauer supression bluetooths.

    The $60-70 skull candy worked fine for several years until they went through a spin cycle.
    I run a fair amount in mine and the in ear type headphones tend to pool sweat in your ear which is annoying.

    I have a pair of the bone conducting Aftershokz. It took a little getting used to but now it would be hard to go back. They stay on through running, vigorous workouts, and outdoor activities... others didn't. Bonus is you can still hear what is going on(like a car approaching while running/biking). They fit great with hats but helmets(bike/skiing/etc) are a PIA- usually go back to the apple wired ones. They also seem to hold a charge pretty long. They aren't super loud but hasn't been an issue... plenty loud enough to not hear the wife!

    I was thinking something like these but was wondering about external noise interference since your ears arent plugged.

    Does normal outside noise interfere with ability to hear the headphones?

    I’ve washed and dried air pods on several different occasions. They still work. Something for consideration

    Default Headphones/ear buds

    The biggest issue I had with the bone conduction headphones was the audio quality. I was required to have them when I worked in the boat plant, and it was nice because you could wear foam ear plugs and still hear the music. Ultimately though I just kept wanting better sound quality. I have the Bose now and couldn’t be happier…

    I've got a pair of jabras and they are awesome. Use them cutting grass and having conference calls no issues.

    Thank you. Y’all pay attention.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    i got some aftershokx the missus gave me. wasnt sure at first but i dont mind them when i'm working in the garden or just piddling at the farm. its just like playing music from an external speaker but it follows you around. you can hear any external noise you want. kinda nice like others have mentioned if you were jogging in the neighborhood. i dont notice any music quality issues any moreso than I would from my car stereo. its music. I listen. the end.

    they arent for use on the mower or tractor. I use an ear bud type thingie for that.
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
