Fairbuds for jogging?

I have a question for all the runners out there: I am looking for headphones that I would like to use for train travel and jogging. For the former I need good ANC, for the latter I don’t want it to boom in my ears when I’m running and I don’t want it to pick up wind noise. Unfortunately, my last in-ears were quite boomy when I was running. Activating ANC improved this somewhat, but it didn’t go away completely. It was always a bit unpleasant when running.

Now my question: What about the Fairbuds? Does anyone use them for jogging? How much impact sound reaches the ears? How does ANC work, and is there a functioning wind noise suppression?

Also, if anyone is using the Fairbuds XL for runnig: please share your experience. I would expect them to be too bulky for sports, but I never tried over-ears for running.

Fairbuds Noise cancelling is very bad in wind. I recommend getting a Sony or Bose instead for jogging. Fairbuds is not the best choice for you.

Fairbuds for jogging is fine! No noise from impact - at least in my case. I don’t use ANC, though (and I have had both Bose and Sony with ANC - they are no good in wind/on a bike). However, I was worried about the touch panels, since I use a hat all winter, but that’s not a problem at all. And: Fp gave me two weeks to try it out for free :slight_smile: So maybe you can by them and try them?

Just adding that in EU you have two week for any product you buy online to return it without any reason. It is not fairphone only.

Yes and no: I recently checked a few online shops for Fairbuds and comparable earphones and for instance the German shop Cyberport states that the Fairbuds (and other earphones) are hygiene articles which cannot be returned if the packaging was opened. Since I’d really like to try such earphones I looked a bit further and it seems to be a common (and most probably legal) practice among online shops which is somehow understandable considering the effort they’d have in cleaning returned earphones and the customers’ desire to get clean earphones.

I wouldn’t use the Fairbuds for jogging, i don’t jog. But when i walk they fall out . Last fall broke right one so controls are not good. Waiting for response from support but its been a long time. Need to phone/ chat them.
Also eating with them in they drop out.
Once they are repaired i will use them when stationary.

But will use Fairbuds XL For moving around and eating.
