Looking for European version of clip on wireless headphones (slrpnk.net)

Basically an alternative to this:

I've always hated buds, but also can't wear standard over ear headphones when riding a bike with a helmet on. They're also useful in the winter.

Looking specifically for clip on over ear headphones. Wired or wireless, although wireless would be preferred. So far the only ones I've ever found are cheap ones on Alibaba that will shock you in the winter (and break easily) and these Koss ones that have been really good quality, but are American.

I don't own any but my brother does and he swears by them when he's running or on the bike because he can still hear the rest of the world. He has a different set of earphones for when he is focussing or working or in his car (never heard of anyone doing that, but he prefers it so yeah).

Yeah that's exactly why I'm interested in them! There's situations where I want to do listen to my surroundings

His are made by Shokz, had to look it up online for the spelling, and they're apparently Japanese. Maybe there is also something similar that is European, but he has ran marathons and I believe he usually wears them his entire run. It's not something we talk about that often but I remember he told me just after got them he was really happy with them because the wired in-ears he had stayed in place only until his ears got sweaty. I think he spend about โ‚ฌ100 on them or something. I don't think this can beat a similarly priced headphone that is over- or on ear when it comes to the audio quality and immersion to be fair, also no microphone if I remember correctly.
