Good choice, I'm only after recommending these to to someone, they are excellent!

What will you listen to on them? 😊

I have a very elective taste in music...anything from 60's stuff (only a few though)70's (a few more) 80's (most things) 90's (dwindling) and present day (quite a few due to having kids!!) Have quite a few playlists on spotify thanks to a lovely runner on here jancanrun...ones called the Mummycav mix, you should check it out, great for running along to!!

in reply to Mummycav

I'll look them up on Spotify then, thanks for that.

I love learning about people's tastes in music, yours is very interesting cause it covers so many decades.

I have 3 siblings who are 18, 16 and 14 years older than me so that explains the 60's/70's...my Mum and Dad always had music on, we were a very musical family, I was singing with my sister when I was 6 years old, the first song I ever learned to sing was Edelweiss from The sound of music and now I can't listen to that song without a tear appearing in my eye!!

in reply to Mummycav

My family was the same, I even played drums in a band for a while and deejayed, my son does it now.

I remember learning that song in school, it must mean something to you.

I learned to play the trombone when I was 6, i was too small to reach 6th position!! I now play the piano, most brass instruments and the sax x

Great headphones Mummycav, I have several of Jancanrun's Playlists, I didn't realise that there was one dedicatated to you called the Mummycav Mix, guess what, I have just installed it on my Smartphone from Spotify.

MummycavAdministratorGraduate10 in reply to GoGo_JoJo

Thanks GoGo_JoJo ...I have some bone conduction ones, just a cheap pair that I found on Amazon but I had some birthday money left so I thought I'd treat myself to these as I've read the reviews and everybody seems to like them x

I accidentally stood on my other ones the other day when I tripped over the dog!!

I caved and got some (I got the Aftershokz Aeropex) as I can't wear normal "in the ear" earphones. I wasn't going to do it but a lady at my first event let me try hers and I was sold. I have even done phone calls and run in the rain - no problems, they have resisted rain, sweat, music and phone calls so far with no problems. I bought them on amazon and paid over 4 months.

Mine came with earplugs and a way to turn up the bass when you are safe to do so. I have run for over 2.5 hours in them and they held the charge - so hopefully they will see me through a half marathon.

They sound brilliant backintime ...I'm looking forward to my test run..I had some bone conduction headphones and I bought those because in-ear headphones always seemed to be falling out of my right ear...I think it got hit too many times with a football when my brother used to boot the ball at my head when I was little and now the hole is smaller, that's my theory anyway!!! My other ones have broken as I accidently stood on them the other day when I tripped over the dog!!!

I get ear eczema with the rubber or mousse on the inner ear ones and that itches something rotten - another of my annoying allergies/sensitivies - I guess at least this time they made me buy something nice for myself :)

I hope you enjoy yours - give them a good first charge up

Oh hello lovely things! 😍😍😍

Think my husband might find something in the Amazon shopping basket. Helpful aren’t I, saving him from having to schlep out to the shops to buy his wife a Christmas pressie? 😅 😈

Can’t wait to hear how you get on MC. They’re meant to be awesome aren’t they? 😀😀😀

👍😁👍😁 Enjoy! I got the minis when Amazon had a bit of a sale on. Haven’t used them much yet, but when I have I have loved them. Feel safer being able to hear what’s going on around me, especially when running in the woods! I only get pleasure from buying running related things now. Ruined I am!

MummycavAdministratorGraduate10 in reply to Sadie-runs

Oh me too Sadie-runs ...that’s all I seem to shop for now! What are we like?! Imagine us on a shopping trip with a non-runner? They’d be bored senseless!! It’s much safer being able to hear cars approaching or bears in your case?! Lol xx

I have a pair and they are the only headphones I would consider using whilst out running as I think it’s not safe to close out external sound. In that regard they work well, as you can easily hear traffic, people approaching, etc etc. However, the sound quality isn’t perfect, and the sound can start to break up later in the run when you are hot and sweaty. I find it helps to use a head tie (Roger Federer style) to keep them in contact in the right place.

Mummycav profile image
MummycavAdministratorGraduate10 in reply to Puppy-love

No Puppy-love , they're not the minis and I've been poorly today and yesterday so haven't had chance to take them out on their first road test today but I've had them on the house and the soud quality is amazin!! So far, I would def recommend them

Puppy-love in reply to Mummycav

I hope you feel better soon and get a chance to use your new toy. Thanks for the recommendation. I run with my dog and need to be able to hear what she’s up to. Look after yourself.
