I have a set of Bose ear buds for the gym. Had them 10 ish years so they have done well.
Battery is lasting about 45 mins now which isnt ideal.

I like good bass, the more the better. ANC is a bonus but not 100% needed - my current ones dont have it.

I have Sony WH XM5's for home use - something with that sort of sound would be good.

Its for with my S24 Ultra.

Any suggestions?

I use some Cambridge Audio Melomania 1+ ear buds. I'm very happy with the sound and bass quality.

I can't get on with ear buds so I'm trying some Sanato bone conduction headphones - they look like a knock off of Shokz - which so far so good. My daughter was surprised about the sound quality (good) when she tried them yesterday.

It's a shame that Jabra no longer make or sell the Elite Active range of earphones. These were spot on for the gym, also for the levels of bass the OP is after.
I'm also interested in what other are recommending, as after 7 years or so of use, one of the batteries is dying in my pair and also lasts no more than 30 mins before cutting out.

I have a set of these and to my ears they are astonishlingly good. Good bass, ANC, and they don't fall out when mountain biking.

I lost one of mine so I now have the Melomania A100 which are excellent even at lower volumes. Plus the voice announcements are Matt Berry (should you choose him).

If you like Sony XM5s...why not try Sony XM5s?

Damn, I have a set of these and was going to suggest them, didn't realise they'd be discontinued..

I use Beats Power Beats Pro 2. Found these the only earbuds that actually stay in your ear at the gym.
