Looking for a set of wireless ear buds.

Will be connected to my Pixel 3
80% of time will just wear in one ear
Mainly to listen to podcasts, sometimes music
Splash/waterproof would be good
As slim as possible - some options look like they stick out from the ear a lot
Budget around £50

Been looking at the likes of:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/ENACFIRE-Wireless-Headphones-Bluetooth-Earphones/dp/B07DPJVN6P/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=wireless+ear+bud&qid=1576689620&sr=8-3

But think they protrude from the ear quite a bit?

Easy option would be Apple Airpod 2s in Christmas sale, but will out of budget so reluctant.

Any recommendations?

Thanks,
Duane.

I've got these and they're great, especially considering the cost. Obviously they aren't the quickest to arrive.

Bloimey - £18, delivered from China!?

I do wonder why I spent what I did on the (wired bluetooth) Bose ones I use. Which sound great, fit pretty nicely but cut out when I turn my head sideways, e.g. when shoulder checking before turning tight on a ride, say.

Happens more often than one might think and it's ****ting irritating (not least on a bit of kit that was nigh on 8 times more than those on Ali B).

Try the Anker Souncore P2 True. Very impressed.

They've gone up, I paid about £15 for mine! 😉

I use them at work so I don't drag my phone off the desk everytime Instance up. I've got some Bose OE I wear on the turbo. I'm not sure I can tell much difference between them...

How about theseh in the fine tradition of recommending what you have. I use them at teh gym, geneal wandering around, etc and they seem fine to me. Normally there is a sale on or something so I have seen them a lot cheaper

Tick

I need a pair that I can wear whilst using ear defenders without hurting my ears

I have some Taotronics ones I got from Amazon. £30 or so.
Waterproof, good battery life, good bluetooth connection. Fit well (come with different tips to use) and sound quality is decent - will be fine for podcasts

My usual answer to this question:
these ones
I've had these since June. Battery life is good (I presume - never had them on long enough to run out!). Done 10 mile runs with no issue, use them in the gym, at my desk in one ear only, cycling (in one ear only). Once they're in and snug you'd never fell that they were there.

I'v got a pair of the Enacfire and are really pleased with them. Can't say I've noticed them sticking out much. Very easy to set up. Decent enough sound - my phones a bit crap, so any issue is with that,and comfy to wear.

Thanks all. Those referring to Enacfires and taotronics - are you talking about the airpod shaped ones with a long vertical stem, or the more "bud" ones that basically fit within the ear?

Thanks,
Duane
