Looks like Yarrabyte has gone missing in action again. I think they may have a secret life or maybe a second job or something. Or just slept in.

These were the cheap ones: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007582608533.html

They weren't as good as the $200 Shoks pair, but my shokz have broken a little and the company wont address it, so I prefer the cheap pair because if they break I'll just get another. They're good enough quality and for the price difference it's a no brainer for me.

Wow, my mum was just talking about similar ones she got online and how she can hardly hear the wind. If you've used then outdoors, has that been the case for you too?

They're okay, I wear them under a beanie which sorts most wind noise at the moment.
