MPOW Magneto earbuds. Amazon. £18. Bombproof. I’ve had them 3 years, wear them most days and there are fantastic.

Not earbuds but wireless ones. Aftershokz bone conductor titanium headphones. They are amazing. The mini version were fine for me and I’m 5’11”. They sit outside the ear and you can hear everything including talking and traffic therefore they’re the only headphone approved by UK athletics.

My MPOW only lasted a year.

I got a Garmin 35 during the week after a friend of mine told me about an Amazon Prime sale. Got it for a great price. It’s an upgrade from my Garmin Forerunner 15. I love my news Garmin 35.

I wear my regular apple ear buds which came with my iPhone 5 over 5 years ago. Both phone and ear phones are still going great.

I’ve been using mine but get my wires in a pickle when trying to start apps etc. Although a Gamin will help. I’m becoming such a geek!!!

I also got a garmin forerunner 35 on Thursday and the information on it is amazing , this is the first time I've seen my heart rate on a run 😊

Yes me too. My Garmin Forerunner 15 was a great watch. Did everything I needed for the past 2 years and only cost me £20 on eBay. But the Bluetooth connection to my phone and heart rate monitoring is a nice upgrade. Plus step counting. I’m very happy with it and won’t need anymore from a GPS watch.

I've not gotten around to picking some up yet but here's a set of reviews I was looking at:

I think I'll grab some of the cheap & cheerful soundpeats but I've heard that Jaybirds are really good & Bose make excellent audio gear although on the pricey end of the spectrum. Hope that helps :)

Can I listen to music through the garmin 35? Want to get a watch like that to save me taking my phone out.

Predictive text is a bugger!😊

Personally I wouldn't want to be without my phone in case of emergencies.

I don’t know, I don’t have it yet. I think possibly not. I wouldn’t want to run without a phone just in case

Yes, I got mine from argos £30 and they are brilliant they are Bluetooth so not exactly ear buds but they work great. Also I just treated myself to a Garmin forerunner 35 and it's great so much info and once you get the hang of it very easy to use. 😊
