Bluetooth earphones!

[Lynsh]

OMG I've just discovered Bluetooth earphones! Don't laugh, I'm an old fashioned girl 😂

Hubby lent me them today, no more tangled wires, brilliant. Ordering some right now 😂

Happy running everyone 🏃

[Tasha99 Graduate]

Get aftershokz! Mini version should do. They don’t go in your ear and you can hear traffic and have a full conversation with them. They’re the only ones approved by England athletics. But they’re a bit pricey - IMO worth it.

[Lynsh Graduate in reply to Tasha99]

Hubby can buy me them 😂

[Tasha99 Graduate in reply to Lynsh]

👌🏽 get the mini ones. I’m very tall and still had to send the regular ones back and get mini.

[Tasha99 Graduate in reply to Lynsh]

They’re on offer on amazon I see

[Buddy34 Graduate]

Yes I agree I was using the earphones that come with my mobile and I had enough of wires so I got myself a pair from argos and they're great. 😊😊

[Lynsh Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

Makes so much difference 😊

[MuddledGardener Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

Aftershocks? I’ve read some dreadful reviews on Amazon. 🙁

[Buddy34 Graduate in reply to MuddledGardener]

7194263 argos catalogue number made by skull candy in case anyone is interested

[Tasha99 Graduate in reply to MuddledGardener]

Really? They’ve all got fab reviews on there!

[Bettyb719 Graduate in reply to MuddledGardener]

I recently got the Aftershokz ones - I totally love them! Worth every penny.

[notquiteretired Graduate]

😂😂you sound like me, I generally have to wait for one of my sons calling in to sort my techi stuff out😊

[Lynsh Graduate in reply to notquiteretired]

😂

[backintime Graduate]

The rubbery bit on earphones makes my ears itch and gives me exzema inside, which drives me crazy.

If anyone knows running earphones without that rubbery bit I would love to know.

[Lynsh Graduate in reply to backintime]

Oh that's no good...

[SANDI_runs Graduate in reply to backintime]

You need to try the bone conductor ear phones, they sit outside the ear. They are quite expensive, but long lasting. Aftershokz are on offer on Amazon at the moment

[backintime Graduate in reply to SANDI_runs]

I will check them out, thanks

[happysouls Graduate in reply to backintime]

Aftershokz don't go inside your ears. They're amazing! I didn't like the feel of the rubbery bits either.

[Tasha99 Graduate in reply to happysouls]

Aftershokz 👌🏽

[JaoJao]

Brilliant aren’t they xx

[Lynsh Graduate in reply to JaoJao]

Fab! Why have I just discovered them xx😂

[MuddledGardener Graduate]

What make are they?

[Lynsh Graduate in reply to MuddledGardener]

Mpow from Amazon £20 or so, but they're fine for running.

[Tasha99 Graduate in reply to Lynsh]

I had these but they stopped working after a year. No good for hearing external noise unless you have only one in and the other is a pain to place

[Lynsh Graduate in reply to Tasha99]

Oh that's not good,!

[MuddledGardener Graduate]

Just ordered some Kamtron ones from Amazon. Really cheap, so it’s not a problem if they’re rubbish.

[Oldgirlruns Graduate]

I tried them, kept cutting out, got fed up, went back to earbuds on string. They may get tangled but it works for me!

[Glynis1]

I got mine from Lidl I love them. I can’t stand dangly wires 😁

[Tigger64 Graduate]

Oh, I am so with you on this. My son gave me his old air pods and I haven’t looked back. Sometimes I have an issue with the Bluetooth disconnecting but holding thumbs that I have resolved that issue now. Happy running.

[AlasdairW Graduate]

I use the beats PowerBeats 3. They have a little clip that holds them on whale your jogging along and stops them falling out.

Great

Happy trails

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Go you,,this running opens up a whole new retail world...

[Blackcat66 Graduate]

I use Tao Tronics and love them.

[Puppad80 Graduate]

I use Powerbeats 3 has took my running to an extra level

[GordonAstley Graduate]

I tried some but they didn’t seem to be able to cope with the music and the C25K commentary together. Any thoughts ?

[Lynsh Graduate in reply to GordonAstley]

The ones I borrowed from hubby were fine with music, ct5k app and also my running app..

[limberlou Graduate]

I’ve been experimenting with mine for about a year now and I’ve found that

1. They cut out if you are live streaming so best to download whatever you are listening to before you run

2. I used to find the on/odd control but is heavier and would pull the wire round behind one ear and bang against my shoulder... I now wind the excess wire up round my ponytail twice and this sorts it and I can still reach the controls easily.

3. I’ve had dearer ones and cheaper ones and I am happy with either as long as they have the soft earbuds

( I’ve got about 4 spare pairs now from WISH)

4. And if I need to hear traffic I just tuck one ear piece down inside the neck of my tee shirt and just use the right ear one. But I don’t have mine too loud anyway.( my Music Tech trained daughter nagged me about protecting my ears at Gigs etc)

The ones in using at the mo were £3.97 clearance ones and they are about 10 months old now.

[Jell6 Graduate]

I use Samsung Galaxy Buds, they are a revelation!.

I still worry that the left one would fall out, but as I always run wearing a headband this isn't really an issue. They have an ambient sound option, so I can still hear traffic (and birds!)😊

[happysouls Graduate]

I've been on a tech journey as well as a running journey. One of my earliest runs I had a temper tantrum as various things didn't work and the wires kept pulling out haha! I moved on to different earphones and now have some amazing Aftershokz. I really recommend them for sound quality, comfort and the safety of being able to hear people and traffic!

[Tiggercnk Graduate]

I bought the Trekz air they are absolutely brilliant. Best running headphones there are.

[Escargot Graduate]

Better late than never, Lynsh 👍

[Kevtrev]

Bless you Lynsh yes they do them I was looking into them and found some good ones from Amazon Mpow I’ve got the updated version only £22.99 😉🏁👍

[Lynsh Graduate in reply to Kevtrev]

These are the ones I'm getting Kev. Hubby has these. It's costing me a fortune this running 😂

[billiboy12]

Better if you get Bone Conductor head phone. That way you can hear things around you.
