Off Theme - Wireless ear Buds

[Old-RV'er]

Figured someone on here has them, uses them for various reasons. So here is what I think, versus what I know.
Wireless ear buds, Bluetooth compatible-some have the foam pieces attached, some do not. Some are cheap, some are not.

I want a pair for when working in the yard, I can play music I got stored on my phone. I want them to be rugged (yard work), they need to stay in my ear, and not fall out, because we have rough terrain, especially when riding the tractor. I don't want to spend an arm and a leg, and want at least 7 hours of play time.

I have been looking at the Samsung ones, since I have S10+ Phone. But hate to spend that money, although they rate good. Other recommendations please.

Thank you in advance.

I've owned, tried, and recommended dozens upon dozens of them over years.

Currently, I can give you my ABSOLUTE guarantee you'll love this one in particular: The Apple BeatsX Wireless. They're under $100, but more importantly, they work insanely well, connect effortlessly (especially with Apple), sound awesome, very comfortable, AND THEY STAY IN!!! Another BIG advantage to these, especially for YOUR use, is that they have a connecting wire between the buds. I find this to be invaluable for a safety leash just in case one or both were to come out. Additionally, it's REALLY convenient to just be able to take them out and let them hang without losing them. They click together by virtue of magnets, so they stay put around your neck. They charge with a lightning cable, which is great for the iPhone group, and their batteries last a LONG time. Finally, with the W1 chip, they connect and stay connected over a GREAT RANGE...the best of all the ones I've tested.

I've used JayBirds, and they're "OK", but nothing compared to the BeatsX.
Forget the Apple Earbuds, regular or pro, you'll hate them for falling out or getting lost.
Sony, Bose, Harmon, JBL, etc. are all overpriced and nowhere near as good.

BTW, you should have posted this in the Technology section where it WOULDN’T be “off-theme”!

Perhaps you or @Neal can move it.

Ear Buds are an interesting topic, it's speakers, each of our ears are different and what kind of sound we like, bass, treble, and then price points. I'll offer my $.01

Cheap but amazing I used TaoTronics and liked them so much I got them for everyone that worked for me one Christmas.

I then got Apple AirPods and liked those and now I'm using AirPods Pro which are even better. If you're an iPhone user and don't mind the price then AirPods Pro is what I recommend. The original AirPods stayed in my ears better but the noise cancelling and better audio of AirPods Pro is nice.

I love Sennheiser for over the ear headphones, I have these which are Bluetooth and use these while working.

Moral is there are a lot of options out there so check reviews, find what fits your budget, etc.

Bluetooth hearing aids take the cake! Programmed just for your ears and the sound is awesome. Even control TV volume to your ears without having to fight with DW for the remote.

Hmmm, where is that forum? Maybe you're thinking of another site?

Looks like Neal already moved it. ?

I moved it before seeing the message to move it. It was in the Newmar Owners Club.

Also might consider the bone conducting wireless headphones. They don't go in your ears, they rest right in front and sound fine. I got them because I'm a solo female that runs and walks on trails and I want to be able to hear what's going on around me or coming up behind me. I have Aeropex by AfterShokz...spendy but worth it for the safety aspect. They're so comfortable I forget they are there...
