I run w/ wired "sport" earphones. The old fashioned kind w/ a band that goes over your head. I then put a cap over the band so the phones are pressed hard into my ears. Unhealthy, perhaps, but LOUD...

I've bought three sets of wireless earbuds in my life, admittedly inexpensive ones. I would estimate that the peak volume of the wireless ones are approximately 1/25th as loud as the wired ones. Not by any means marginal. Night and day. Kind of like the low-flow shower heads in that episode of Seinfeld. Not cutting it. No likey.
