Wireless earphones — please recommend

8 Replies

Hi! I’ve been running (again) for almost a month now, and the old earphones are losing their mojo. So thought I’d invest in a pair of new ones, wireless as that’s one of the issues I’ve got with mine - the cable twist loses sound in one ear, I catch it with my hand. Annoying.

Budget up to £100 if poss thanks! :)

PS :: need to stay in ear and not be tinny

I run on treadmill so I need to be in my own world 😊

I bought some aftershozs trek bone conducting earphones and they are great. They don’t sit in you ear so not uncomfortable, they can’t fall out and the sound is brilliant. You can also hear traffic and other noises around you so safer than other earphones

Another vote for bone conductors, I have aftershocz, wired, but there is a Bluetooth version. I do still use in ear buds, and occasionally run with just one earbud in so I can hear what’s around me, however the bone conductors are far superior in being able to hear any traffic, anything that’s going on around you, and still hold a conversation whilst listening to your fav tunes......

Hope you find something that suits

Thank you! I’m a solo runner on a treadmill at a gym after a busy day, so I am looking for something that creates my own world capsule around me for those 30-40 minutes I’m moving 😊

Ahh, there are noise cancelling ones? I’ve never tried them, but that maybe worth a search.....

I too had issues with wired headphones so bought a pair of Outlier One plus (uk.creative.com/p/headphone... and I've found them to be great. they don't fall out and give a great sound. They do a range of different wireless headphones on the site above but the plus have a built in mp3 player so you don't need your phone with you although I guess if you're on a treadmill that my not be an issue.

I've been using MPOW Magneto in-ear bluetooth headphones for 3 years now. They cost about £15 from Amazon. 6 hour battery life, absolutely bombproof and sit comfortably in my ear. They were a doddle to connect to my iPhone and also have a built-in microphone so I can take business calls whilst running (if I wanted to!). Personally, I would not spend any more than £20 on headphones. They tend to have a hard life and need replacing often (but the MPOW ones have exceeded my expectations).

I had these and they stopped working after a year. Moved to aftershokz.

Also got Aftershokz. The mini pair were fine for me and I’m not small 😂 I’ve been on a 15 mile run today and they’re still high charge 👌🏽
