Hi,

I'd love to get some input on true wireless earbuds. I'm looking for something mainly for exercise purposes (I already do have Bose QC35). I hate cables so I want true earbuds. On my wishlist are:
- re-chargeable with case
- good fit even for small ears
- internal storage
- water-proof

I've been eyeing the Bragi Dash Starkey/Tailored for the longest time, but the price kept me from buying so far. I did buy the original Dash a while back, but unfortunately had to return them because they were too big for my ears. My husband has The Headphone by Bragi and is happy, but besides them being the same size (though somewhat lighter) and me probably facing the same fit issue, they're not waterproof and have no internal storage. I'd REALLY love to use them for swimming, too, and am willing to pay a premium for them.

Since the Dash didn't fit my ears, I've been looking for other options in that department and didn't find much. The Airpods are a no no, mostly because I don't trust the fit being secure, the hideous look and them being pretty pricey for what features they offer.

I went to take a look at what they have at Target (no Best Buy where I live), yesterday, and noticed that by now a few more brands have come out with wireless earbuds. I already knew about the Bose ones and while I'm a big fan of Bose, they again are somewhat pricey for the features. Others were kinda in the same price and feature range as the Bragi Headphones. What all of them sets them apart from the Headphones is the way they're secured in the ear (more flexible and thus probably also fit smaller ears).

So, I guess my question is: what are folks using these days? And, am I missing a brand/model that is waterproof and has internal storage?

Thank you :)
