I took my Ionic for my first phone-free run but the music skipping/dropping was terrible. I love my current wireless headphones (JBL Focus 500) but the BT receiver is on the right side and I wear my watch on my left wrist. I was able to jury-rig it during my run so the receiver was on the left side and the music was much better with no more skips, but it’s not a permanent solution.

Does anyone else experience the opposite side dropout and would be able to recommend a good pair of running headphones with the BT receiver of the left side?

Thanks!
