Default Best "Over The Ear" wireless earbuds

Thinking about getting a set of wireless earbuds to listen to music while riding. A bit concerned about losing an earbud that's why I'm looking at the over the ear type. Any recommendations for something that won't break the bank?

Thanks

I use Shokz openrun pro 2’s when I ride my mountain bike, they stay on perfectly and allow me to hear others approaching while I ride. Highly recommend them

Been happy with my Bose QC30s - they are wireless, but tethered to a hoop that sits around your neck so there’s no chance of losing them. Noise cancelling as well.

I ended up buying a set of over the ear, it was a mistake no room to put my helmet on presses against the ear hooks.

Tell us a bit more about your usage. Sounds like you do wear a helmet.

Have you considered a wireless helmet that already have speakers and mic installed? Maybe the Outrush or the Fury helmet might meet your needs.

If you already have a nice helmet, maybe a Cardo unit. What are you riding?
