I have always used cable earphones up until now but am thinking of trying Bluetooth. Are you cable or wireless? Any affordable recommendations out there?

Cable so far but have been wondering about blue tooth options seeing as the wire keeps snagging in my clothes and and need to hold it in place with one hand. Do let us know what u find out, and I will likewise

I have Mpow cheetah sports Someone at work was talking about using them at the gym and how surprisingly good they were for 13.99. Yes they are great- so much better than dangling wires I can take one ear piece out and it stays in place easily- much easier when trying to be polite to passers by or when listening for traffic. Also I can stop and start playing by pushing a button next to my ear without taking my phone out of my belt bag or arm strap. They are definitely worth a try now the cost is comparable with traditional 🎧

I went Bluetooth quite early on my journey as I kept catching a finger or arm in the cable - how I don't know !! I have KSOutrun but they were free as I stole them from hubby so don't know if they are expensive or not 😂😂. I am very happy with them though.

My Aukey ones are doing a great job. The sound quality isn't amazing but they do stick in my ears comfortably and the pair with my phone instantly! It did take a bit of faffing to get the right attachment (fins) in the right place.

Bluetooth is definitely worth a go. I was forever ripping my earbuds out before 😡. I have Vansky ones from Amazon and which were about £10 and work well. You just have to remember to charge them up every week or so.

I've stuck with cable as I have my phone behind my back in my running jacket pocket when I go out, and apparently there can be issues with the Bluetooth connection with the phone in this position. If you have your phone on your arm or you hold it it might be ok!

I have sports earbuds that wrap around my ear and stop them falling out, and they've worked really well for me so far!

I keep my phone in a pouch but wear it at the front so can't see this being a problem. Thank you🙂

10p fix. I still use a cable but tie a small knot in it and safety pin it to my top, no issues at all.

Not what you're looking for?
