    @Aqua-Letifer there are also over-the-ear that use bone conduction.

    @kluurs has a set of those and they're pretty nice.

    @kluurs which make/model?

    @Aqua-Letifer if you're not looking for high fidelity, there are TONS of cheapo options out there. Many of them allow you control your iPhone/android phone from the earbud/headphone.

    I think I paid about $30 for mine, and for voice/books/podcasts they're perfect. I bought two pair, because the first ones died after a year. At $30, I though it was a pretty good investment.

    (geezer alert)

    As I mentioned, I needed to get hearing aids...and they will stream bluetooth to my phone as well. They're not great for music, but for voice, they're unbeatable. So easy.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      I wear these everywhere and embarrassed that most of the photos people take of me have me wearing them. I listen to audiobooks and podcasts all the time - running and doing whatever else needs to be done.

        @kluurs and when you let me listen, they were surprisingly good and comfortable.

          Yup, the $35 cheapo - use them when mowing the lawn or trimming the hedge.

          The savings on spf to cover my ears pays for the headset.

          It says ANC on them, but I doubt there is even any ANC hardware in there.

            I have these too. I wanted a pair I could wear while running but also hear noise around me.

            I basic set of AirPods may be what you want, @LuFins-Dad . I was pleasantly surprised when I first started using them. Pairs easily, comfortable, good audio.

                @LuFins-Dad sorry, missed that. I also have Bose Quiet Comfort for airplanes (and noise canceling).

                  OK, you asked for it

                  $29.99, I wear them while mowing the lawn

                  On the first pair they sent the ANC button did little, if any, noise cancellation, so I gave them a poor review.

                  They said they would send a new pair and let me keep the original if I gave them a good review.

                  So I got 2 pairs for $29.99. The ANC doesn't do very much but at $15 each I didn't care. I bought them about 3 years ago. One pair is still working. The USB plug broke on the other pair.

                      The bone conduction headphones are neither in nor over the ear.
