Hi Guys,
For my daily listening needs, I use my Astell & Kern SP1000M & Custom made Westone ES30 mostly.
However for running / cycling / fitness, I don't want to use my custom Westone's and nor am I planning on taking my SP1000M along.
For my sports needs, I'm looking for a quality pair of wireless earphones / earbuds or even Trekz (not a full blown headphone though) to hook up to my Galaxy Watch or Galaxy phone. Might potentially invest in a Shanling M0 DAP to take along but for now it will be my phone so audio quality isn't the absolute biggest priority.
As I have very tiny ears (for example: Can't fit Campfire Andromeda properly), I'm looking for something extremely comfortable that I can use for:
Some of the options I was considering are:
(Should note at this point I haven't decided yet for truly wireless vs neckband. Both seem viable options and I'd probably go with what sits the most comfortable and just works in the most seamless way while working out)
Budget is around 300 euro max (I think more than that is probably not required to get a good 'sports' headphone. I won't hear every detail the way I can with my Westone ES30 or headphones at home but that's not the point of this purchase. Here I need a great companion for my workouts that is comfortable enough to forget about it.
If I could get something that I can take along to work to do my conference calls with (mic), that would be an added bonus (certainly not a requirement)
Thanks in advance

As I have very tiny ears (for example: Can't fit Campfire Andromeda properly), I'm looking for something extremely comfortable that I can use for:
- Fitness
- Running
- Cycling
Some of the options I was considering are:
(Should note at this point I haven't decided yet for truly wireless vs neckband. Both seem viable options and I'd probably go with what sits the most comfortable and just works in the most seamless way while working out)
- Jaybird Tarah Pro
- Aftershokz Trekz Air (Not sure about the Bone Conduction Technology - Read it's more suited to podcasts and audiobooks than music listening while running)
- Jaybird X4 (Why pick these over Tarah Pro other than price?)
- Jaybird Run XT (Seems a rather large shell - might be uncomfortable)
- Jabra Elite 65T Active (Seems a rather large shell - might be uncomfortable)
- Senheisser CX Sport (Seem underrated but not sure how they stack up to Jaybird)
- Shure SE 215 with BTR cable (Just a suggestion I found online by some gym users)
- Bose Soundsport (Seems a rather large shell - might be uncomfortable)
- V-Moda Forza Metallo Wireless (Limited experience with the brand)
