  • Recomendations for bluetooth earphones with decent phone mic please

    I currently have some KS Hive Bluetooth headphones, but they have a few niggles:
    – the battery doesn’t last very long, and there’s no ‘battery low’ warning so it just cuts out.
    – the battery/mic section is pretty big, so catches on coat collars etc and relatively heavy, so tends to pull one earphone out, especially when walking
    – the mic is rubbish (according to people on the other end of phone calls)
    – there’s a fair bit of interference/Bluetooth ‘chatter’, especially noticeable on talk radio or quiet sections in music

    So, recommendations please for a set of earphones that won’t have these issues. Wireless please, for an Android phone, and no cans ta, just in-ear jobs. Budget probably up to £40, £50 tops. Fanksverymuch.

    I went for a Jabra Stealth which I lost after about a week, but it was the best I’ve had for making calls – comfy, good battery life and excellent call quality. I keep meaning to buy a replacement.

    In the meantime I’m back using these Pioneer SE-CL5BT-W Wireless Bluetooth Earphones which I picked up from SportPursuit which are very good, but not quite as good as the Jabra

    I use these, battery lasts well, has a warning tone and the % displays on the BT symbol on my phone

    I have a Plantronics Focus Voyager Focus which is very good, if a little spendy.

    Thanks chaps, even though some of these recommendations are substantially north of my budget 🙂

    Any others for under £40 (or maybe £50)?
