    I'm using Parrot Ziks... a bit big and bulky but they have to keep me happy both in a (sometimes noisy) office and on the 'plane while commuting weekly.

    I would have to find them to tell you and I don't know where I chucked them.

    They're awesome - use them for running + cycling. You can still hear stuff clearly around you. In fact they're the only headphones I'd consider whilst cycling...

    I put down some words about the previous version:

    The newer ones are a bit better as they have a titanium spring in the neck piece (I think) which means that they're a bit more robust.

    I hate them.

    I got them so I could run in traffic and wear at events but all I could hear is the bloody traffic and no music. So if I wear headphones while running on pavements or events I wear my normal cheapish sports ones for running off-road turned down.

    I would give the bone conduction ones away if I could find them....

    I've got a set of Bose earphones. Very comfy, no peripheral sounds. Not sure what model, though; got them free as an apology when something wasn't right with the Videowave kit we'd got.

    True, but some do come with small charging cases so I guess if you get in the habit of charging them after the gym or run. But take your point.
