Waterproof bluetooth earbuds

rom

So I am after going through a few pairs of these from amazon. They are all great. Charge is ok.
Sound is fine.
They are comfortable.
They are waterproof while running.
I sweat a lot and all the ones I have used have a rubber cap on the side that allows in micro usb port in to charge them.
If I charge them straight after running then sweat gets into this. If I wait to charge them they are dead the next time I want them.

Anyone see bluetooth ear buds that don't have a micro usb port on the side of them. Maybe a more expensive brand but going to be waterproof charging and using.

how is it going to charge without the micro usb port?!

maybe something like these suggestions would work - charge in charging case but short battery life

Something like a garmin watch clip. I have through loads of the micro usb ones. Cant put them in a gear bag or charge them with sweaty hands.

Have to say I use the Jaybird X3 and they are excellent, 8 hour charge from them but they do have the charger on the ear but unless your swimming I'm sure there wouldn't be a problem with them

There's some good reviews here on the 645M thread in the Garmin forums.
I have these, https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B075FMK7SD/ price but zero issues and reported 6hrs playback

Have heard great things about the Aftershokz, I was looking into them for a while too and noticing a lot more runners using them.

They are very light and comfortable, I've had zero connection / dropout issues across multiple devices, the audio is quite acceptable considering they sit outside the ears (me and buds never got on) and obviously you are more aware of your surroundings.
Great piece of kit if you ignore the price, but buy once, buy right!

Yes you got that right. I love the hook style of the Powerbeats 3, admittedly somewhat overpriced but decent sound and as I said I love the fit, plus they were a present.

Anker sounbuds curve that I have I can recommend as great for the price. Good sound, 12 hr battery life, fit/secure hold and sweat resistance.

Their the exact design that I prefer. Anker stuff is spot on aswell, have owned loads of the stuff over last couple years.

So I am actually thinking the ear buds I am buying are dying because of the charger I use. I have a 8 port charing thingy that gives more than the 5w. I was reading something else usb I got recently and it said that if its more than the 5w for it then it gets hot and dies basically. So its probably that. Recently got a pair of QC 35 II for work so I will have to leave it off for a bit before buying theses.

Though I am really interested in these as for anything that is not an easy run I won't use music as I might cross somewhere when I should have waited.

+1 on the Anker Soundbuds. I have had The NB10s for a couple of years now and they are rock solid. Currently £20 on Amazon.
