Anyone have any recommendations on wireless earphones?

I can see cheap ones to really expensive ones? Is it worth spending that extra bit?

Recommendations gratefully received!

I mostly use a pair of QY8 earbuds, but recently bought Marathon earphones - the ones which sit on the ears, not in-ear ones. They’re really nice, and DD2 claimed them as her own after she first tried them!

I've got the marathon ones , so much better then in the ear ones as I'm not constantly having to push them back in

Mine kept falling out. If I went again I'd be looking for something that attached to my ears. I was very taken with the bone conduction phones I tried in a running shop but they were £99!

I got some levin marathon 2 on ear wireless headphones as recommended by someone on here. They cost around £25. I find them much better than ear bud ones and would recommend them

That’s probably the ones I have! Was just being too lazy to go to amazon and look it up! But yes, j paid around £20-25 for them and they’re absolutely worth it!

Yes, thank you so much for recommending them. They’re really comfy and stay put. Brilliant!

I got Philips SHQ6500 - they were about £26 and have a little fin that goes inside your ear and i have to say they are great, never feel like they are going to fall out at all. Sound quality is decent enough. The only criticism is i have my phone on an arm band and the bluetooth is fine. If you have it any further away from the headphones...they dont seem to work too well. Depends on your set up.

I’m currently using ..

All Cart Stereo Bluetooth Earphones Wireless Headphones In-Ear Earbuds ..£9-98p

From Amazon .. worth a try at this price, I’m pretty happy with them so far.

I use beats by Dr Dre, great sound and they hook around the ear so no movement when you run. They aren’t the cheapest though but I’ve had them a few years and have been worth every penny. They hold their charge really well too

The pound shop, clip on ears, works great, they have a good selection, save a bundle

Mine are KSBounce. They were about £10 from Robert Dyas and they have different sized buds so if one set doesn’t fit another should. I’ve found them brilliant for the cost. Sometimes they slip out but generally they’re great.

I use TaoTronics ones off of amazon. Bluetooth 4.2 and use the ear hook style. For £25 the sound is very good and they last quite a while on a charge, at least a week of running and gym before a charge. The ones I use are these amazon.co.uk/Headphones-Tao...

I use these: amazon.co.uk/Cancelling-Blu... nothing but good things to say about them really and I am a sound snob with tiny ears

I try to buy Anker products where I can. Not a massively expensive brand and no "designer" tax added. These work very well and I have no problem with movement when running. They come with different sizes of ear buds.

I agree, these are the only ones that stay in my ears. Sound quality and microphone good too.

I’d never heard of Anker products before but I bought these back in Feb and they are fantastic. Definitely recommend.

I have the Kitsound Manhattan Wireless Bluetooth headphones. 1 charge lasts 18 hours of playtime, so fantastic for grab and go.

Less than £25.00 and sound great even when turned right up!
