New Head-Fier
I am looking for a headphone to replace my plantronic BBFIT that is dry rotting after 10 years of love. My only complaints with these phones are that the mic doesn’t noise cancel wind when on a bike ride when I need to take a call, and that they don’t have aptX support. AptX is not a deal breaker for a new purchase, though.
I had reconstructive surgery on an ear canal, so ear buds don’t work for me since the enlarged canal won’t hold buds without some external support. As a result, I need ear hooks to hold phones in place during workouts.
I can’t find ANY suitable replacements.
Requirements:
* open ear to hear surroundings
* over ear hooks
* suitable for fitness and sweating
* Sound good. Not expecting greatness.
I just tried the Shokz OpenRun Pro (bone conducting—low end was horrible and probably not loud enough), and Shokz OpenEar (did not fit in ears well).
Anyone have any suggestions?
