[Closed] Recommend bluetooth in-ear headphones please

Bluetooth Headphones, TaoTronics Bluetooth 5.0 Wireless aptX Stereo Magnetic In-Ear Earbuds, Secure Fit for Sports, Gym, Travelling (IPX6 Waterproof, Built-in cVc 6.0 Noise Cancelling Mic) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B017I9CBPC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_wcnzCbPN2NRW4

They are awesome for the money.

^ I actually just got a set yesterday.

I'd only had some wired earphones with no mic and wanted something for conference calls (doing a lot for work). My dad had some Taotronics ones (bluetooth but with a cable between the ears) and I was impressed, so ordered these.

They are good. Sound quality is good once you get the right rubbery bit (there are a few in the pack). Charging case is neat and acts as a top up battery for your phone too. They sit in your ears fine (even at gym), bluetooth connection is fast and stable and the touch controls are pretty good (not immediately intuitive, but only took a few minutes practise to get it figured out.

Even worked well making a phone call outside in the wind.

I would also recommend.

These have been great for me, they've been through the washing machine and everything

Got some MPWOW ones from Amazon for about 18 quid. Been absolutely excellent so far, especially for the money. Superior to some Powerbeats they replaced.

I like these Pioneer ones.

Decent sound, excellent battery life.

Plantronics Backbeat Fit for me. Paid about £50, can't fault 'em.

I have optima nu force sport ones - very pleased, think they were about £50

Anker ones like this work well for me:

Cames with lots of different size ear bits to try. Never got on with the sort that go over my ears. For running I just tie a little knot in the cable to shorten it so it doesn't flap about.

following with interest

I've ordered the Taotronics. Prime, so should arrive tomorrow  I'll let you know how I get on with them. Thanks for the help.

Creative Labs Outlier Ones. Great sound for the money & excellent battery life.

+1 for TaoTronics, very good, don't think you'll be disappointed. Sometimes find they drop out occasionally when cycling (yes, I know), orientating the phone 'correctly' in the back pocket helps.

Super cheap - Meizo EP51 or 52 are both under £30. I was really impressed with them for the price.

However, I did find they'd fall out a few times during a run and the sound quality would vary (bass would drop off) if they moved at all. For not much more money you should be able to pick up a set of aftershox bone conduction. they're not hifi - i'd not sit and listen to them - but for running or riding the sound quality in use is better than anything else i've used AND you can still hear whats going on around you.

I got some of those ToaTronics olly2097 suggested a few days ago after my 2nd pair of Jabra have failed that cost a lot more. So far they have been fine, don't fall out which I have a problem with a lot of earbuds and sound okay to me.

My theory is if they last 6 months they only cost £18 and not £85 like the jabra.

Creative Labs Outlier Ones. Great sound for the money & excellent battery life.

I have these they are excellent.

I didn't get on with the hook in the ear models. I use the over ear hook ones for running and they never come out.

I had some of the TaoTronics ones (left them in the gym never to be seen again). They were good but the connecting lead always annoyed me - it forever would get stuck in my collar/get pulled around my neck. I now have some Apple earBuds and they are amazing - fit perfectly, sound is great, never get caught up. Obviously they cost much more but imo they are worth it.

Another vote for the Creative Labs Outlier One ..great value for the money

The taotronics ones are good. I've got a set of completely wireless ones branded letscom, they're great for running because the wire doesn't make a noise. They were about £30.

I use soundcore liberty lite https://www.soundcore.com/products/variant/liberty-lite/A3901011

Available on amazon etc.

Really good connectivity, the charging case lasts ages.

Sound is good, mine stay in without any additional pads or adaptors

Would buy again.

I now have some Apple earBuds and they are amazing – fit perfectly, sound is great, never get caught up. Obviously they cost much more but imo they are worth it.

not what the OP was looking for but 100% this ^^^. people love to hate them but the airpods really are a fantastic implementation of wireless headphones. they really do just work...

I have the Anker ones that hook over my ear. Come in little case with lots of bud options. I prefer the hook as I wear them for commuting and without the hook the cable sometimes catches and the bud pulls out my ear

Anker, these to be exact. They;re £60 ish full price but these are refurbs and are spot on.

Creative Outlier One, as already mentioned.

I've always found in ear ones a bit on comfortable, but these are fine. Decent quality, good sound, and not expensive. Mine last a week/4 or 5 hours of regular gym use between charges.

Yeah I got a set too. Not bad for $20.bass heavy but fine for a workout. Splash proof too. They have just launched a newer version which has a 9 to 10 hour battery life as opposed to the 7 of the orihinsl. For the price though, very good.

Not quite in budget but i bought a pair of BOSE SoundSport wireless headphones recently. Like a lot.

5/5 according to this lot too: https://www.whathifi.com/bose/soundsport-wireless/review
