Wireless Headphones

Anyone have any favorites they use for stationary training besides ubiquitous AirPods?

Had some BackBeat FIT's that were OK....looking for for new ones.

Thanks

Jabra Elite 65t.
My one complaint is that they don't easily re-pair when switching between phone and Mac.

I use the Bose Soundsport. They pair flawlessly and have a volume control on the strap. Very nice.

These cheap BT ones are my go to. Sound decent, comfortable, have a very long battery life and have lasted 5+ years of indoor training sweat:

Agree with this. Haven't had an issue with mine yet. Been using them daily for almost 6 months.

I actually just bought some from Amazon for $27. had about 5k reviews at 4.5 stars, so prolly good. I had some similar ones before but eventually lost one of the ear tips. I prefer buying cheaper ones to super expensive awesome sounding ones. I'm a musician and love great sound, but when you're inside on the bike and hear loud trainer noise, or outside and hear wind and cars... no need to prioritize sound quality.

Hope this isn't thread drift - looking for wireless headphones for both using for webinars and for being on a landline phone. Great if they also act as passive noise reduction when not being used for the above uses.

I really like my Aftershokz Trekz-Air. They're bone conduction, allowing me to hear traffic when I use them on outdoor rides.

Jabra Elite Active 65T

Active is the important part, these are sweat proof and can be rinsed in water, worn in the rain, etc. There is a newer version coming out called the 75T with better battery life, etc.

Great sound quality, stay in no matter how much I sweat, and you can control outside noise coming in - very important if you wear while riding.
