Headphones

[TheBoyWhoRun]

After the annoyance of my headphones for sometime now its time to invest in a pair. So no better place to investigate what are the popular brands....Come on peeps what advice can you give me on headphones ?

Hi TBWR. I used to use those ear bud ones but had to tape them to my ears with micropore, which was a nuisance. Then my husband bought me a pair of Sony ones which have a soft, shaped loop which hangs around your whole ear and they are great. Never drop off!

[TheBoyWhoRun Graduate in reply to Beek]

do you have the make and model ? Also i was looking at amazon.co.uk/CredDeal-W88R-...

[Beek Graduate in reply to TheBoyWhoRun]

I realised as I sent it that I should have given you more details - Sorry!

Argos are selling Sony MDR AS200 earphones for £19.99. They are slightly fiddly to put on if you have long hair but very secure and I really like them. Those you sent the link for also look good.

I have similar ones as Beek and am so happy not to have to readjust my stupid ear bud ones any longer. Can only recommend them. I think mine are Philipps but I'm not sure if this really is important. I had to get them as they were the only ones in the shop

[TheBoyWhoRun Graduate in reply to Beek]

Thanks thses look great and would give them a try. I will let you know how I get on...

I got a cheapo pair from sports direct that have a band that fits around the back of my neck. Very comfy and have never fallen out. Didn't want anything too expensive in case they got dropped or wet (some aren't sweat proof!)

they only cost me £5 they are on their website

[TheBoyWhoRun Graduate in reply to bjammin]

That's the one I currently have and it's cutting out. I guess you get what you pay for ...£5.00 hahahaha

[bjammin Graduate]

ah fair enough! If mine start cutting out then I'll just buy a new pair for a fiver but I would be gutted if I had spent over £20 for a pair to have them cut out....

Mine are Phillips Running ear buds which clip over the back of the ear. Come in orange or black and are water proof so you can rinse the ear bud under the tap. Cost about £15 from Amazon but have seen them in Tesco & Asda since at about the same price.

I'd get them on Amazon, I've had 3 pairs now, previous 2 failed at 6 months, send them back to amazon, refund not exchange and buy a new pair.

[TheBoyWhoRun Graduate in reply to crox]

Ok thanks good to know.

I had some excellent ones from Lidl and will get another pair when they're next available. Problem was I abused them by pulling them out of my phone by the cord rather than pulling it out by the thing that goes into the phone so the cable eventually broke. I have others now but preferred the Lidl ones as they were more comfortable. They were only about £2.99 too.

After researching which headphones to buy on various running websites, these rated highly. JVC HA-EBX85-W Women Sports Headphones. I bought mine on amazon, they come in a range of colours, and cost £11 - £13. I'm on my 2nd pair now and bought my sister some for her birthday to replace her apple earphones..... She prefers using these and says they're excellent.. Hope that helps.

For ladies ? Hummmm

I got some from Sweatband after my iPhone ones kept falling out. Basic and cheap but they work well and have never fallen out or gone wrong (yet!). sweatshop.co.uk/accessories...
