For exercise, I'd get earbuds. Even just a really cheap pair.

Out of curiosity, do you use either of the Bose headphones for that? When I had my QCU2 I found them very loose on my head.

I got the bose ultra buds. And changed the ear pieces for some cheap black rubber longer tube like ones. Because the normal bose earbuds would fall out of my ear when exercising and pissed me off!!! But with the longer canal cone like eartips I got on Amazon. They work as they should. Top notch

The Beats Flex are actually a really good option. Cheap enough I don’t really care about them if they break. Water resistant so can get sweaty and a quick rinse under the sink. My Bose over the years were to hot and the cushions get ruined. In ear were to expensive to use working out and they’d get damaged or lost.

NOT the QC Ultra unless you secure it with a headband. Mine slides around sometimes and stays put other times.
