Mitsu clearly missed that nobody cares about sound quality when working out haha. Millions of people work out using AirPods without water damage, even tho it’s not rated waterproof.

Well, thanks for the feedback everyone. Looks like Airpods are the way to go. The unbelievable part is that there is no stock anywhere and the delivery wait time is long too.

Check that regularly. They pop up in stock pretty often, even though in store pickup shows well into the future. History shows it's only been out of stock for a max of 6 days, and it's been out of stock for 3 days now. Chances are they'll show up this week.
They're still a hot seller, so stock is still sporadic.

I have found stock at the Telus store downtown twice before when they were “sold out”.
They don’t keep them on the shelf so no one knows they are there.

But I can sympathize. I forget quite often that 95% of the population doesn't give a shit about sound quality, just want the sick bass and that SQ-nerds/audiophiles are a rare breed of people in the grand scheme of things!

I dunno, in my experience even people who could not possibly care less under normal circumstances (like my Mom and GF) have been much happier with a pair of "one step up" type earphones compared to the crappier stuff that might be included with a phone or whatever. I think a lot of people don't realize how shitty basic earphones are until they try something better, and the difference can be quite noticeable even to someone who otherwise has zero interest in sound quality. They will also fit better, have multiple fitment options for comfort (tips, wings, etc.), you can wash them underwater, and they actually seal inside your ear so they don't fall out and block outside noise.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

On the flip side, if sound quality doesn't matter and they are just for the gym, why pay $220 for $30 sound quality? I would assume people aren't taking calls on the treadmill either, and if they are, they're at the gym so they don't care about quality, so why spend all that money on gym earphones? If you use either one of our arguments, the conclusion seems like it would be the same in that $220 Airpods are not a good choice for gym earphones.
I have to catch myself sometimes when I'm talking to people - I start diving into something, thinking I'm helping, and then a little voice in the back of my head keeps reminding me "they don't care" haha.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Your list consists of "wireless" headphones compared to the AirPods which are "true wireless". There is a big difference in price and performance and you might as well be comparing wired to wireless...This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Awesome! Ordered 2 pairs for pickup today!This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
If the goal is just true wireless and cheap, I found these at Superstore for $29.99 (same brand anyways... the superstore one actually comes with a recharging case)This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

He was working out, doesn't look like water damage, just thermal runaway on the battery.

I have had these Sony extra bass wireless headphones. Had to get my first set replaced under warranty due to manufacture defects, great sound, awesome battery life too.

Does the cable between the two ear pieces do anything? Could you just remove the cables? I don't get why they would call these types "wireless" and not just call them Bluetooth earbuds.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Because that style of headphones have always been called wireless?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Cable connects the two together, I am assuming it has to do with battery, but your guess is as good as mine. 8+ hours of battery life...

Headphones with a cable between them are "wireless". Headphones like the Airpods without a wire are considered "true wireless"This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
