Looking for something with good battery life and solid sound. Audiophiles please feel free to give your suggestion(s).

I did look at the JBL Endurance Sprint but the reviews did not impress me that much.

FYI

Something like this?


Don't like the design of it to be honest but thank you for your reply.

Also from a review: "Overview: these headphones are perfect for someone that doesn't do intense exercise which either make your head or body move aggressively. Also, they're not the ideal headphones for the gym."

I am going to use it for Zwift sessions so it must be able to take the sweat and for when I am out of the saddle sprinting.

No problem. Thank you for your reply, I appreciate it. I hope you get what you need and enjoy the riding :)

I have a pair that I have used a few times during a running session. The band is a bit too heavy and the running movement makes it knock/bump my collarbone. Not a problem for short sessions, but 90mins plus leaves bruises.

The SO loves her Airpods, maybe consider something similar.
 
I got a pair of Ifrogs freerain reflect for R450

Appreciate your replies guys, unfortunately, I am a bit of a snob and picky... I would like something decent and that will last.

@lickwidice Did check them out, they really don't look bad at all. Will keep them in mind if I don't come right.

@Valheru Yeah, would prefer lightweight earphones so that I forgot I got them in my ears. I saw the Sony WF-700N but the reviews aren't mindblowing and for the price, you pay I expected better. The Jaybird X3 looks nice.

@souljazk I really dislike that design would rather go for a wired option instead. I can route the cables underneath my cycling jersey, so won't bother me.

@realkingkam Thanks for the offer but no thanks.

I also checked out the Plantronics Backbeat Fit but those seem outdated for me in terms of the technology used. It only has Bluetooth 3 and for the price you pay, I don't think it is worth it.
 
I personally use these JBL Mini Reflect 2 and they certainly handle me sweating bullets at gym doing cardio or weights and the sound quality is awesome. The fit in your ears with the moulds makes then extremely comfortable as well.

They should also easily be able to fit inbetween the helmet straps round your ears after you have it on

I just purchased a pair. The reviews seem good, but will have to see. Also not sure if I am allowed (by the wife) to keep them. ;p

That Elite Sport looks really nice! Price is very close to the Elite Active 65T. Alas, out of my budget. Haha, enjoy them!

The JBL's looks good but I think the Jaybird X3 would be a better buy.
 
Closing for now, need to focus on something else for the moment.

EDIT: Got sorted thanks to @lickwidice
