Powerbeats Pro 2
Running with ear hooks

If you buy through a link here, the store pays me a small commission. Your price stays exactly the same. How that works.

My short take
Ear hooks, IPX4, and 8 hours with ANC from 8.7 g buds with 9.5 mm drivers. Beats quotes up to 45 hours with the case. SoundGuys lists SBC and AAC only.
