I'm looking to buy some wireless/Bluetooth headphones. Was thinking maybe in a speaker so could you to answer my phone (but this isn't necessary).

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks

I would never run with wireless (loss of signal, interference at times). I feel confident plugging in my simple kit (the one that l can attach to my ears not just push into my earlobes). That way l can relax and focus on my run without having tech glitches in the back of my mind. Good music and running? Priceless :)

I've got some aftershokz bone conductor ones , not wireless but because they don't cover my ears I'm aware of my surroundings, great when running alone .

I've also got some damson headbones bone conductors which are wireless , the blue tooth sometimes drops so Music can be patchy 😩 I'm going to get the aftershokz wireless when I have some money spare .

I have three different cordless ones, all from Amazon. These are OK as long as you remember to charge them after a run. I prefer not to have a cord to my phone when I'm out so cordless works for me. Oh yes, they stay in my shell like ears just fine.

Aftershokz Wireless bone conducting headphones get my vote. Either the Bluz2s or titanium.

I have the Bluz2s and they are excellent. You can take calls if you need to. The two year warranty is excellent. The sound quality is fine for running, plus your ears are still unobstructed so you can hear hazards.

Worth every penny.

I, like a few of us, have these.. no problem, stay in my very odd ears and work wonderfully.. I run field and tracks and have had no issues with signal... :)

I get through a set every 3 to 6 months because I run in the rain etc etc and they just dont last so i am interested to follow this for some tips!! I just get the apple ones as they suit my ears. Every time I have bought more expensive ones they end up the same way....!!

I bought some that were fitted into a headband but they broke so now use ear buds and a headband to keep them in place works fine for me

Rachael113 suggested trying the Damson Headbones (bone conduction wireless) which I did and am happy with them as you can hear things going on around you too. They took a couple of runs to get used to but they do the job nicely and only cost 25 quid.

I have the Aftershokz titanium wireless headphones and I love them! I can still hear everything around me and they are super comfortable,plus they don't mind getting wet on the rain. Expensive, but get them when you see them on offer and you won't regret it.

Not what you're looking for?
