Earphones

Any recommendations for earphones, tried apple EarPods but kept falling out! Looking for some that can either hook over ear or go over the ears also need built in mic.

Hi

My other half bought me these as a gift. They cost 70 and could be thought of as cheap or expensive depending on your outlook. He got them from argos.

Jlab Jbuds Air In-Ear Sports True - Wireless Headphones

The first pair were faulty, the ear buds wouldn't connect with each other. I returned them for a replacement pair and they are brilliant. You tap on them to change track, pause, volume etc... They are okay in the rain and cope with sweat too.

Before that I used cheap Bluetooth earphones that hook into your ear and have a wire.

Well ... how keen are you? I have a pair if Aftershokz bone conductor headphones on my birthday list. 🤞 Not the cheapest but they sit outside the ear and allow you to hear what is going on around you. I run along a country lane which is also a bus route, so I'm particularly keen not to be cut off from the real world.

I have plantronics 3100, they are not noise cancelling and they don't fit into your ear, so you can hear the traffic and they hang around your ears. I only use then for running outside, as for everything else I have a pair of good noise cancelling ones

Take a look at Jabra elite sport earbuds as they have a “sleeve” on them which has a small “arm”. (Sorry not easy to describe) which tucks into the crease in your ear, making them fit really firmly. They have a hear-through option to hear traffic, but I find it just tends to amplify any wind noise.

I’ve just had AfterShokz for my birthday- I’m really delighted with them. 😄

Lucky you! Have you been out on any long runs with them?

[Elfe5 Graduate in reply to Speedy60]

Not longer than 35 mins yet running- I have just embarked on Magic 10, time version. However, I have worn them for longer periods of time while gardening -absolutely brilliant. 😄

Oow, definitely on my birthday list! My list now consists of Garmin Forerunner 35, Aftershokz and Goodr sunglasses. I crossed off Hillys socks because I couldn't wait and bought them anyway.

I seem to have developed a serious addiction here.🏃‍♀️🤪

Wireless headphones all the way for me, got mine from Argos last year, 40 quid but well worth it 😊
