(Sorry, I’m sure this must have been asked plenty of times before, so if there is a helpful thread someone can point me to, please do!)
I was wondering if anyone has any advice / experience to share on some good blue tooth headphones to wear while running? One of my friends swears by AirPods; another friend says they fall out and are a waste of money... I have an iPhone 6, and am getting a bit fed up of the headphone wires!

Otium Audio from Amazon! About £17 I think! Designed for running great sound quality cheap diffent ear plug sizes to choose from and they normally stay in . I love mine!
I bought Letscom earphones from Amazon, I paid £17 as I wanted the pink/purple ones, although some colours are a wee bit cheaper, if you're not fussed.
I wear glasses, and have a different pair to match each day's outfit, yes I'm even wearing the glasses to coordinate with each day's running outfit. ☺
I was concerned that the over ear band, or whatever it's actually called, might not sit over different frames, but I haven't had a problem, and I've worn at least 6 different pairs so far - plastic, metal, long legs, short, thick, thin, curved, straight...
I'm not suggesting for a minute that anyone else is as sad as me to match their eyewear to their running gear lol, but just pointing out that if you wear glasses, these shouldn't be a hindrance.
After having to have the silicon cover off the end of headphones removed from my ear by the GP. I use aftershokz I won't be shoving anything in my ears in future. They are really good
I use Aftershokz - they’re amazing. Sound is so clear, they’re very comfortable to wear and you can hear everything around you too. Only ones approved by UK athletics if you want to compete!
I use Chillitech bone conducting headphones for 2 reasons, they sit over the ear not in it so falling out is not an issue and they don't prevent me from hearing traffic etc.
Can I just follow up on this and ask whether anyone has a good hat and headphone combo? ‘Twas a bit chillier this morning, which set my gaze winterwards ⛄️ Any aftershokz users have a good hat recommendation? Do they work with a buff / hygge band type thing? Thinking of maybe investing...
I always wear a cap with mine and have no problems. Not sure about over the ear things though. I never wear a hat, no matter how cold it is. I’ve just tried a buff on with them and it just lies on top of the ear bit fine. I imagine a hat would too 👍🏽
