Well in-ear ones to be precise. Can anyone recommend some reasonable wireless ones. I don’t think I can bring myself to add more to the Apple corporation so was looking for a cheaper alternative? 🤔getting irritated by the bouncing wires when I run 🏃‍♀️

Heya - I use MPow Swift ones. I used them before running as I couldn’t bear all the faffing with a wire when at the gym, but they’re definitely useful when bouncing around more.

I’ve tried some cheaper alternatives but the Bluetooth power didn’t seem to be strong enough (no idea what the technical reason for this was).

These come in some nice colours, easy to charge, last well and have varying size ear hooks included. Plus they were only about £15 and stay in my ears. 👍🏻

I've struggled with bluetooth in-ear phones as they keep falling out.

But I've been using a "bluetooth beanie" in the cold weather which has been great and was very cheap, £6 or something from ebay.

The bouncing wires bug me too, mine give a little pop with every step and the buds eventually fall out. I tried using my big Bose headphones but the pads get sweaty. Something with a longer wire to tuck under my tee shirt and that clip over the top of me ears would be best. Any one else got recommendations? Bluetooth or wired?

I use some Wirezoll ones I got as a gift but looks like theyre 15 quid on amazon. They dont fall out and the wirea quite long. Now I've tried wireless i can't stand wires haha. Only downside is the low battery warning only starts when there's 3 minutes left in them so i have to stay on top of charging them or end up with no music haha
