I have a pair of Bose Sound sport that I have been using for a few years, and while the audio quality is fine there is an absolute insane amount of wind-noise when using them outside. If there’s anything more that a light breeze, I have to crank the volume to hear my podcasts or music…and forget about using them on the bike!

What are some good alternatives that retain the audio quality, but reduce the wind noise and resist weather impact? On/over-ear headphones are not a solution for me, they’re all way too bulky for running. Bone conducting ones like Shockz seem flat when listening to them

I know my wife loves the Bose QC earbuds 2, but the IPX4 rating is kind of a red flag. I’m a heavy sweater and I will be using them in both rain and snow as well, so I’d be afraid of them failing due to moisture/water.
