Earphones advice please

[Eveb1]

I managed Week8 run 1 today ( yippee!) and had changed my earphones. I have an android phone and usually set off with the CT5K app running alongside a Nike distance app as well as Radio 4 !!! They talk over each other but I can usually follow the CT5K and hear what I need to. With the new earphones ( cheap) the noise interference was really bad and I just stopped the radio app half way through.

I have had a good look and can't work out what's best to use ( on a budget) - my nephew has the wireless virgin ear pods but they only play one app and not others. I wear glasses so the over ear ones probs not ideal. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks

I've had these since last year and they are brilliant and pair with my android mobile no problem

Even better I paid £29.99 for them and they are down to £14.99

Many thanks will have a look. Can you play a number of different channels/apps through them at the same time? ie C25K and the radio?

[Buddy34 Graduate in reply to Eveb1]

Yes you just start your music then start the c25k app

I changed to wireless ear buds but they kept falling out so then my partner discovered a headband with built-in wireless speakers. They are brilliant. I get the c25k app, Strava, & my music. And I wear sunglasses on my runs.

These are fantastic... and the price drops to £55 quite frequntly so dont pay £70! Never fall out!

Thank you , am going to have a look. In the past I had a Jabra ear piece using it for my phone whilst driving but I found the ear piece over the legs of my specs wasn't always comfortable. However I like the fact you have said they never fall out - so will have a look thanks.

I wear contact lenses...so ill try them with my glasses on and will report back. Im off for a run now!

Interesting! My thicker plastic specs push the earphone arm nicely out of the way..and are absolutely fine. My older thin metal specs arms however are not thick enough to push the earphone arms out of the way and they sort of interfere making my specs seem insecure. I thought it wd be the opposite! Hope that helps and doesnt confuse the issue! On the plus side...one could go head-banging and tgey wouldnt fall out [not that ive tried!]
