Anyone got suggestions for a good pair of headphones to use in the gym and/or for running? Cannot stand earbuds, have tried several, including very expensive ones and they just don’t do it for me.

I’m a big fan of Aftershockz (apparently just “shokz” now) bone conduction. One of my ears must be funny and didn’t hold buds very well, but I can throw these around my head and they’re on. They don’t block out noise which is often a bonus but means you can’t hear anything in a noisy environment.
I will have a look. Appreciate the feedback:)
Came to recommend these too. Just all-round solid product. As mentioned though they fail a bit in noisy environments, but earplugs sort that out if you need. I do some ceramic machining at work and use shokz + earplugs so I can keep listening.
I own the original branded Aftershokz and still like really them, few years in ownership now.
Bought my wife the newer branded Shokz and the only difference I noticed was a slight shape change and the connector went proprietary from the USB C on mine.
She runs as a hobby and prefers them to other in/over ear styles.
They’re very handy being open ear to oncoming sounds toward you or someone trying to get your attention.
I was amazed what the bone conduction produces in sound. Not great super high fidelity but impressive nonetheless
I’ll also shill for the Creative’s version, in the Outlier Free line. There’s even a model that you can take swimming with a built-in MP3 player.
