Any good Bluetooth earphones ?

While flicking through a running magazine (I can't believe it myself either) I came across an ad for Bluetooth earphones.

Looked on amazon and they were £125 !!!

Whilst I am sure they are very good it is still a bit ahead of my budget.

Any one got any recommendations ?

I got mine for ebay a couple of years ago and they have been basic but good. I like the fact I can skip a song if I want and can answer a phone call if I must. I hate doing that on a run. Mine cost me £14.99. They are a bit like these but mine are a little different so I don't know if these are as good. Sound quality is average if your a sound buff (like my husband) they might not be good enough but for me they are fine.

Thanks for the reply realfoodieclub but I didn't put that I am after some in-ear phones.

I bought the Swift Headphones £14.99 from Amazon. They're brilliant. I sometimes got irritated by the gentle knock of the cord (it goes between them) on my neck so I just tuck it into my hairband and which stops it completely.

1300 reviews, 4.5 star average rating, £14.99, 18-month guarantee. What can go wrong???

I don't have these myself but my son's school mates have them & rate them highly.

Hi MarkyD, I bought these a couple of months ago and they're great. Good value, good sound and easy to connect to my phone.

OK, great feedback. Always nice to have a positive review. I often look at these on Amazon and I think I'll buy some now.

My sony ones were £14.99 and were fine but they conked out and the replacements were from Lidl £3.99. The sound is just the same but the fit is not so good as the Sony ones (in ear ones) so I was looking in Argos for some the other day. The prices of some of them are just mental!

I saw some Bluetooth headphones reduced (red stickered) in TK Maxx yesterday. Some in the sports section and some with the other headphones. They also had a load of Brooks GTS Adrenaline 14's though (mens & womens) reduced to £35 so if you are trying to save cash then maybe don't head off to look at the running shoes .............

Purchased the Swifts !!

I use an old mobile with the C25K podcasts, Runkeeper and my music for dog walking etc etc and shoved a 3 PAYG sim card in it should I need to make / receive an urgent call.

These phones have a mic so I can take a call on the run so this is an added bonus.

Hopefully these will be here early next week and I shall report back after my first road test.

Another box ticked !!
