Running earphones

Can anyone recommend good wireless running earphones under £100. I’ve been using my normal wired ones and finding that they get in the way.

I bought myself some JVC ones from Tesco for Christmas. They are usually £40 and were half price. They work fine, don’t fall out, no problems at all (admittedly I mostly only use one, cos cars, etc)

For Christmas I got sftershokz openmove bone conduction headphones. They are around £80. The good thing about them is that you can hear cars etc when you are running as they don’t block your ears. I’m really really pleased with mine 😊

I’ve heard the Cambridge audio ones are excellent.

Yes, second vote for Aftershokz Airs - and you can use them for races that ban in-ear headphones... if we ever get back to races...

I use Adidas RPT-01. I never got along with earbuds as they fall out of my ears so I wanted something that would stay on my head. I guess I have weird ears! I got them here on sale for £85 but seems they are over your budget at the moment. Might be worth looking around though if they look like your sort of thing. I love them, they have volume/pause and track controls on the side and don't block out the sound of cars etc too much unless you crank the volume right up

I bought Boltune ear buds from Amazon mainly because they were cheap (£35) Actually they are great and fit well.

I’d also consider the Jabra Elite Actives. I’ve got the 75t which are over your budget but the 65t’s are well under.

I had to replace the tile with some made by Comply but they’re first rate. Main selling point for me was you can set them to something called ahead Through where the microphones pipe the outside sound in. I run on back lanes and I’ve not had any issues hearing the occasional traffic.
