airpods bad - need suggestion for new headphones?

Former Member

Hello

I am a new user of garmin 5 s plus.

I was really looking forward to listening music directly from watch but sadly my apple airpods are getting crazy disconnections during outdoor running (and i always run outdoors) making the experience just sad.

1 - Any tips to get my airpods working good? i guess they wont and i need to buy some headphones especially for running so..

2 - Which Wireless headphones do you suggest guys and are 100% confirmed for perfect connection with the watch for music? ;) My requirement for them are: a: beeing ''open''? (beeing able to hear music + Surroundings at once for safety during city runs :D) and B : beeing good to use with watch on the left wrist.

Sad example of my perfect headphones d be backbeat 3100 as a truewireless and ''open'' hearing of surrondings but i sadly read they dont work well with the fenix

Thanks in advance and i am looking forwards for answers! ;)

    I had a very bad experience with my BT headphones so far:

    JBL Inspire 500 -> Bad in any way and doesn't work wit fenix (dropouts)

    Vivianco Outdoor -> basically not bad but doesn't work with fenix (dropouts)

    Samsung Galaxy Buds -> Best headphones of all time but sadly also dropouts with fenix

    Now I bought JBL Reflect Mini 2 and they work absolutely flawless with the fenix, no dropouts at all and for a price of about 70€ very solid headphones with good sound and absolutely stable in the ear during workouts. If you don't mind the cable and don't want to spend too much I can totally recommend these. The previous model is also on the (very short) list of Garmin recommended headphones.

    it's a small sample size, but I ran for the first time with my AirPod (only wear 1 bud and in the right ear) and my 5X Plus today (worn on my right wrist).  I had 0 issues (connected quickly, no drop outs, etc.) for over an hour.

    Just got Powerbeats Pro. Work very well no dropouts. Just watch for wind noise.

    Jabra elite is enough nice but bit pricy. That's the cause I am using Xiamoi airdot pro and next month I will take Skullcandy indy.

    I user Jabra Elite Active 65t but they have also problems with stable connection. Music is often not in sync and music jump in a song. Sometimes it works for 10 minuten.
