Headphone advice

Am being asked for suggestions for Xmas/birthday pressie. Thinking new headphones would be good. I currently use standard iPhone wired ones in only 1 ear so I can hear what’s going on but they don’t feel secure enough and I find them a bit big for my ears.

I looked on Amazon but there are so many choices. Don’t want them to cost too much!

Any suggestions?

I have been recommended Aftershokz by several people. Just need to try and find them in a Black Friday bargain!

I wear a headband round my earoles to keep them in place. some come with 3 different size ear plug things for smaller ears. I only buy cheap ones. My Lidl ones were 3.99 and every bit as good as my failed Sony ones. I use my iPhone ones now

Thanks misswobble. I’ll look in Lidl on today’s visit.

Wireless ones save a lot of hassle when running...i have some TaoTronics from Amazon, and they are great, £20, last about 10 hours on one charge.

Amazon... MPOW brand. £14. Or a bit more £19 I have the Magneto model. Bluetooth to your phone, stay in your ears brilliantly, charge quickly, last about 10 hours on a charge. Best £14 you can spend!
