Now that the airpods have been out for a long while and there are now many new alternatives, especially under $100 versions, I'm curious if anybody has found anything that matches the airpods? The only truly wireless non-airpods I have experience with are the jabra 65t, they worked very well but never fit me ear and therefore were basically useless for me. It's a real shame because I liked everything about them except the fact that they wouldn't stay in my ears.

I've been reading good things about the Anker soundcore liberty and also the creative outlier airs but I don't want to repeat the jabra experience and spend money on something that either doesn't fit or won't work as well as the airpods.
 
You know thru out this forums I see a lot of people flocking to the Powerbeats Pro. I ended up going with the AirPods 2 but I want to see what the hype is for them. Also being that they are around $50 more than the AirPods 2 I don't know if I cant justify that cost hike.

I just ordered the Creative Outlier Air. I figured for $74.99 (found $5 discount code) and based on the reviews I've read it would be hard to go wrong with them. I've had Airpods 1 and now have Airpods 2, but I want something that fits more snug for runs. I don't want to drop $250 on the new Powerbeats. I'll let you know how I think they compare to the new Airpods after I get them.
