Wireless headphones anyone?

Hi - I was wondering if anyone had these if so which ones and would you recommend them? It's a bit annoying when you're running with the wires jigging around in front of you. Thanks!

These are the ones I bought. I've used them a bit, bit not enough to say they work over the long term. They are my second pair. The battery died on the others which I think is a common problem with cheap headphones. phone and headphones needs to be charged before a run or they'll both die.

Many thanks. Will have a look at these.

I use Plantronics Backbeat Fit headphones.

They're not cheap (nor are they the most expensive), but have been absolutely flawless. Sound quality is perfectly fine to my ears and I've had no issues with the Bluetooth connection to my phone.

They're also very light and comfortable to wear.

I have these too but I have tiny ears (unfortunately only part of me that is!) and I find it hard to get them to stay in even with the smallest bud things that come with them. They are good though apart from that.

I usually just have my iPhone in the front of the running tights and then thread the cord up under my shirt.

I don't think we're talking about quite the same model.

The Backbeat Fit don't have ear buds in the same way as other earphones, and you can't change the ones that are fitted. They sort of sit more "on the ear" rather than "in the ear".

Oops no sorry mine are Plantronics BackBeat GO 2 and are ear buds. They come with a battery pack you can recharge them with... but I do find it annoying to recharge them as I'm either forgetting to put them back in the car or to recharge them.

Thanks very much Peter. I'll have a look at these.

I need a Bluetooth adaptor to use wireless earphones on my classic iPod, and what with having to charge those as well, I can't be bothered.

I just run the wire under my shirt neck and down the top of the sleeve to ipod strapped on my arm, don't have a problem with dangling wire.

I had a pair of Jabra Sport Rox for my birthday and they are really good. They sound great and stay in my ears snugly for the entire run.

I put mine down the BACK of my vest or tee shirt.
