Over the past week I've read through pages and pages of comments and posts on Airpods. I haven't seen a thread specifically for runners or those involved in lots of exercise and physical activity.
I received my AirPods one week ago today, and I really like them. They fit great, and it's really easy to forget you have them in your ears. I've taken these on a few long walks and also to the gym for some time on the elliptical. I've not had one fall out yet... not yet.
I've been using Jaybird BlueBuds X's for the past year, but they've become frustrating as the rubber tips and hooks may be getting wore down and tend to fall off a lot. The connecting cable often sticks to my skin and pulls the buds out of my ears as well.
The opening in my right ear must be slightly larger than the left as it often feels like the right AirPod is just barely hanging on and ready to fall out at any moment. I've gently shaken my head back and forth to see if the pod will fall out, but it still sits there. I'm not really too confident that these will stay in my ears if I were to wear them on a long run and would rather err on the side of caution. I like to keep my focus on my breathing, pace, and surroundings rather than constantly thinking about these falling out.
I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same issues and if so, have you tried any of the covers, skins, or hooks that are available?
I'm sure AirPods will be great to wear on my runs once I get just a bit of security in adding a cover or skin of some sort. Thanks in advance for any insight, advice or suggestions
