    OK, it is a fairly specific request:
    1, Bluetooth – i hate cables when running
    2, Not pure earbud design, I dont have the right shaped ears (?) to keep buds in without then hurting (MTFU I know ….) so something has to go over the ear to hold them on
    3, Sports type – when I am on the turbo i am very, very sweaty so unless they are design for sweat they wont last long.
    4, cheap – actually I’m not fussed as to a reasonable cost as I have tried and failed with loads of headphones so one new set over 4/5 cheap ones …. you would have thought I would have learnt
    Cheers All

    I’ve just received a pair of Soundpeats QY7‘s from Amazon.

    1) Yes
    2) Have sort of wing things that fit them into your ears, so sort-of
    3) Yes, supposedly; time will tell
    4) Very much – £15 so if they fall apart I won’t cry.

    Will be trying them on their first run later today.

    I have the first gen Arriva Leo which are great. Looks like the company’s been bought by Blaupunkt but I can’t now find any evidence of that…

    Anyway, the Mk1 ones are great and come with a range of ear adaptors.

    I’ve had lots of BT sports headsets, and they’re all okay. Biggest problem is they can break up a lot, apart from the new jaybird bluebud x’s.

    But they’re not cheap.

    I had some of these that weren’t bad, until they broke and stopped charging. TBH I can’t be bothered to send them back, not at that price:

    Only downside is that if you sweat a lot they don’t stay in too well, but that was only really an issue doing intervals on a treadmill, outside it never happened.
