Headphone experiences

Hi,

  I've just bought a 245M and am looking for headphones. Some can be quite expensive and I don't want to buy a pair only to find that they have problems with the 245M. I doubt if sellers would take back a pair that do not work well with the 245M once I have opened the box and stuck them in my ears.I know that Garmin have produced a list of 9 but I'd like to hear users experiences with these and other headphones. I think that this would be useful to both myself and others considering buying headphones. Thanks in advance to any contributors. 

  • I can confirm everything MaxR6 is saying about the Anker Soundbuds. I bought them on Amazon for € 22 (there was a 25% discount) They are very comfortable and I haven't had any connection problems at all. The earbuds they replace stopped working because sweat destroyed them. The Anker earbuds are sweat resistant so hopefully they will last longer..

  • The best ones I have used are the raycon everyday earbuds e25 a true wireless earbuds.

    They are a great price, which is always a good start. Then the quality for the price is awesome. They give great sound quality, to match something from Sony or Phillips. The build quality is the same high standard, as almost 1 year on since I first had them, they work as well as day one and the battery lasts just as long, so hasn’t deteriorated over time. The general build quality is great.

    Some of the benefits of these include:

    • Great sound
    • Good build quality
    • Strong Bluetooth connection, so I haven’t had any issues with drop outs or disconnections.
    • Smaller brand so the price is great for the product, not paying for a name.
    • Good battery life with up to 15 hrs from them with the case, I get through days and any trips with them so they last in real life.
    • Voice assistant, as find it funny when people mention volume yet Siri can do that.
    • Good call quality and unlike many cheap headphones both mics and earphones work when calling.
    • Good comfortable fit, you can wear them for long periods without discomfort, so great for movies when on trains and planes etc.

  • Using Garmin 245 M with Soundcore Life A1, super stable connection and no dropouts indoor or outdoor. Incredible value. Had problems with Soundcore Liberty Air 2, which had a spotty connection with the watch (but not iPhone).
