Reply to comment by Eccomi21 in Nova’s audio earrings are made with real pearls, and have built-in speakers that transmit audio up and into your ear by thebelsnickle1991
I use a bone transmission headset when I go jogging, they are perfect. I don’t need high quality music, just a background to keep me pumped and entertained, and I can perfectly hear cars, bicycles, and other people passing next to me and stay safe…

AirPod Pro’s + Transparency Mode work quite well, just a suggestion.

In my experience, transparency modes kill the spacialization of incoming noise, so it's fine for holding a conversation, but it's definitely not good for hearing where something is coming up on you from behind.

They don't stay in your ear when your sweaty though

Sonys ambient sound mode on their NC buds is even better

Which ones do you use? I was wondering if I should try them.

I’m using an older model from Shokz https://shokz.com/ It seems that now they sell newer models and different sizes, but mine would compre to the “openrun” model I guess.
I prefer them to the AirPods Pro (with transparency mode) or other in-ear when I run. Of course, as mentioned in other comments, the music quality is not what you are looking for here…
I like them because they are very stable, they allow you to hear everything around, and there is never that weird deep sound that sometimes you have with in-ear when you walk, which I really hate.

I mainly listen to audio books so don’t need great sound, and was looking for something that doesn’t go in the ear

I often listen to those Nike Run Club couching sessions and there is often a guy talking through the session, and I can clearly hear what he says, so they should be fine with audio books too.
One thing to consider though is the amount of noise or traffic where you run. I normally run through fields, so it’s very quite, but indeed when I need to go through a couple of noise roads I need to volume up quite a bit to distinctively understand what he says

I've used Shokz, but I find things like the glasses to sound much better. I currently use the Bose Frames Tempo. Still not great bass, as to be expected, but I don't feel like it's completely missing like the bone conduction.
And yea, any pass through type headphone is just not the same as open ears.

Unthinkable for a basshead like me. But if it works for you then that's perfect. I use passtrough on mine and have the volume relatively low, so while not as safe its still safe. Though, I don't run, I only walk to and from work in a pedestrian area

Same. I’m a basshead and need noise canceling headphones. I have a energizer cutie pie (he’s 3).

Is that gimmicky tech even still in production? Downvoters are senseless anyways.

Yes but they are specifically marketed to sports and swimming
