Hi Everyone

I need a new pair of earphones to listen to music whilst running and weight training at the gym. I would like a pair of wireless ones but I really don't know which ones to purchase. I currently use Sony Extra Bass which I like but I the connection with my iPhone8 keeps breaking and is becoming annoying.

Any recommendations will be greatly received.

Many thanks Helein

Helein, I'm using Bose Soundsport with an iPhone 6s and an Apple Watch. I'm very happy with them. They're the best headphones I've owned for music reproduction and they work very effectively with all the devices I've connected them to.

I bought these for all the family last Christmas and find them really good. I have weird shaped ears but they have held fast, even when running! Just seen that they are currently unavailable, but there were other companies selling them so a search might help?

Hi there, I’d recommend aftershockz, bone conductors, although I run outside, and got them so I could still hear everything around me, e,g traffic. I’m not sure theyd work too well in a gym if they have background music playing, as the point is to be able to still be able to hear and be aware of whats around you.

Hope you find something that suits.

I have beats wireless ones which are great and work with the apps/iPhone 8. Also have Bose wireless cans which again are great and don’t feel them being too heavy for jogging

My MPOW Bluetooth in-ear headphones have been:

1) Bomproof with my iPhone6

2) Remarkably good value-for-money at about £15

3) A joy to use, running, gardening, relaxing to music, even use them occasionally on work conference calls.

I bought these and I love them! Went for my first run this morning and they were perfect. Thanks for the recommendation.
