Hi! I keep getting in a bit of a tangle with my earphones while out running! I’ve heard about Bluetooth ones but don’t want to spend a fortune! Has anyone got any suggestions?

I got TaoTronics from Amazon as recommended by Scott...

They were just under £20 and work fine. They are in ear with 3 different size soft clips to fit around the inner lobes to help them stay put. You can answer the phone on them too...

There are other ones available that are not too pricey.

I, and a few others I know have these... they are great.. and I have very odd ears, ( small ) ; other ones I have tried always fall out:)

Bluetooth Earphones, TaoTronics Bluetooth 4.1 Headphones Stereo Magnetic Earbuds, Secure Fit for Sport, Gym with Built-in Mic-Green

You can get them on Amazon.. around £20...?

I got a pair off eBay think they were around £13 really good sound and they don’t get in the way . Definitely worth having

They're worth it, I had over the head free beats (quiet expensive) and I loved them, they're very popular and are about the style and brand that's why they're so expensive.... if you're just looking for cheap ones I got some two days ago for £10 they're magnetic on the back too so if you don't have them in your ears you connect them around your kneck and they won't fall off... how I have mine currently lol !

I have Phillips Bluetooth earphones. They are great.

But: whilst pondering which to buy, have you tried putting your cord at the back of the neck instead of infront? Also thread them down your shirt.

Might just do the job! 🤞🏼

I got some from eBay for £3 and they work fine, probably won’t last though!!!

Hi Sara, I use these, bought them on eBay a few weeks ago. They hook over the ear, handy while you’re running. Sound quality good too 😊

Thank you! They look good! My corded ones hooked over the ear which I liked so I hope the new ones I got stay in ok. So far so good just walking round the house!!😀

Hi Sara

I bought the Tao Tronics bluetooth earphones in August and they're fab. I have funny ears for keeping in, in ear earphones, (that's a mouthful, haha), but these are pretty good and the noise cancelling is good too. Worth a try for 20 quidos 😁😊

Tried to copy a link/screenshot, but it won't allow me, sorry lovely.

I had the same problem but got some earphones with a flatter cord, which feel like they have a silicone coating on them and it's much better. I got them in TK Maxx and it says 'KS' on them - not sure what that stands for!
