Headphones for jogging

Ncafeel

Hello everyone!
Can you recommend the best headphones for jogging? I just started running in the mornings and I think it would be a lot more fun with music. I need something comfortable that works well with a Samsung Galaxy.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

These are excellent.  Great music and yet you can also hear everything that's going on around you.

They look great! I haven't used these kinds of headphones yet. Thanks for your reply!

I have these. I love them! I was never a fan of in ear but these make the best of both in ear and over the ear for comfort. They have changeable caps so if one ear canal is smaller than another you can make it work. Battery is brilliant, fantastic price (might be worth shopping around) and so reliable! Charging case is excellent, easy to clean and won't get lost easily. Also clearly won't fall off your ears!

how do any of these work for those who wear glasses?  I've wanted to try them but if they're uncomfortable I wouldn't be able to return them I suspect.

I use Shokx Open Run Pro and can use them while wearing my glasses without an issue. I highly recommend them. Sound quality excellent. Was sceptical about bone conducting and how it would perform but took a punt and have been very happy with them. Safer as well if you are out on the street coz you can still listen for traffic etc.

As others, Shokz Open Run Pro. If mine broke today, I’d replace them immediately without hesitation. I’ve used (After)Shokz for years, for outdoor music listening, and the Pro are worth having over the lower priced offerings.

They’re a sensible product for sensible people who want to stay aware of their surroundings. I use mine with a Garmin fitness watch and they sound good enough, as is, out of the box. With a smartphone, you can use an EQ app to tweak the sound settings further and get them sounding pretty sweet.

Aftershoks/Shokz Trex Air have kept me going for the last 5 or more years
The first pair went glitchy and a replacement were sent out under warranty. By the time they arrived the glitchy pair were fine so I sold the brand new pair.
Pair 1 lasted about another 6 months.
Pair 2 Bought again and killed that pair by plugging them in while switched on (I think) another year with them just out of warranty.
Pair 3 just out of warranty again so I used the buttons off pair 1 and 2 (tricky job of soldering) and these kept going another few months. Salty sweat stopped the buttons from working.
Pair 4 one of the speakers went so I replaced this with a speaker from an old pair. They were never quite the same but fine for work calls and at a pinch music.
Still on Pair 5 and will probably replace them with Open Run/ pros when they go. Hoping that the sweat damage issues are resolved.

Absolutely no issues wearing glasses with them.

They don't fall off. They're not uncomfortable. They're not idea for stuffing them in your pocket but this is one way I've not managed to break them.

I wear them 7:30 - 7pm ish and they make it on one charge 50/50 listening (mostly low volume) to music/calls or speaking podcasts.

Two things that many people don't realise.
They used to come with a set of soft foam ear buds. Put these in while you have your Bones on and they'll sound like quality in ear headphones with no outside noise. Odvs not recommended for outside running but useful in a noisy gym on a treadmill.
They can connect to two devices at the same time. Handy for PC teams calls and your Martin Lewis podcast from your phone without having to switch headsets. There is a couple of seconds delay while they switch from one to the other. Pause Martin, count to five and answer your call, put your phone on silent so it doesn't try to compete again.

I would like to pay less so any recommendations for a £30 alternative I'm all ears?

Thank you for your answer!
Can they be used with an Android smartphone?
