Morning all,
Im just looking to buy some blutooth in-ear headphones/ear buds.
I need the type that are inserted into your ears as the standard air pod type doe not stay in my left ear at all.
Just wondering what others are using/would reccomend?
Thanks in advance,
Rob
Jabra without question. The 75T are fantastic and what I use but there is also the 85T out now.
I have a pair of Sony WF-1000XM3 which are very good
Seconded, I’ve got the 65t actives and they’re superb. When mine go ( my sweaty runs tend to destroy headphones) I’ll be going for the 75t actives as having the sweet spot of sound quality and active noise cancelling ( I spend too long on head-fi 🙄)Quote:

Agreed. The AirPod Pros work very well with IPhones and don’t fall out. They have different ear tip sizes. I use mine for everything now including running and working out in the gym.Quote:

If you want to go cheap for the gym or running etc, take a look at Mpow M30. I bought mine for £20 on Amazon and they are fantastic for running. Stay in my ears and don't ever need adjusting during a run, good battery life, good sound. Keep an eye out for when they go on a deal. Normally they are about £30 but dip to £20 sometimes.
Thanks chaps,
I should have put a budget in my post which I suppose is up to £100'ish.
I'd love the airpod pros but dont know if I want to spend that much at the moment.
The jabra sound good so will look into them.
i have also come across some Cambridge Audio and Senheisser ones for £100 too which seem good.
Cheers,
Rob
I've tried various in-ear buds for running, with mixed results and always a compromise with swapping out the foam or whatever
But having now got a set of Airpod Pro, I can't fault them in any way
They stay in my small ears, even when sweating (they're also waterproof) integrate seamlessly to my watch/phone, sound is fantastic, I could go on
I bought some Cambridge Audio Melomania at the beginning of the year for £99. They are perfectly adequate for what I needed.
Had the Sennheiser CX400 been the same price at the time, I would probably have bought those instead.
+1 for Airpods Pro, they are a big step up my previous Jabra Elite Active 65T previously which were brilliant themselves! And I use Android and no other Apple products. If you look hard on Google there are Airpods Pro for around £160.Quote:

Ear fun air pro are pretty good
About £60 from Amazon
I’ve bought several cheap pairs and they never last. Now have AirPods Pro’s and they are faultless.
Lesson learned.
My apologies; water resistantQuote:

I have also but just got a pair of galaxy bud Pro's. I have a Samsung so they work very well with them and sound slightly better than the sonys imoQuote:

Absolutely has to be these...

Yes, £20 over budget, but sound quality is superb. Battery life is fantastic. And their bullet like design makes for a good fit; I've never had one fall out.
Or the older model is still £100...

I got mine for £169 in Feb from Techinthebasket online, who look really dodgy but I've bought from before. The product arrived is 100% genuine and was all sealed - I've been really happy with them. No affiliation with the site.Quote:

My old B&O H5 pair are OK. Cost £199, but have seen them as low as £80 on SportPursuit. Now superceded by the E8 at £300.
Thanks, I’ll look into them.Quote:

It's the best combination right now.
Airpods sound trash for audio unless it's just call

It would be helpful to understand how you plan to use them and with what device(s) as this will help others recommend based on features.
I have a pair of Sony WF-1000XM3 and I can honestly say they are the best piece of tech I have bought for a long time. Use them at home, when on public transport, walking the dog. Sound superb, app is excellent with equaliser to tailor the sound, adaptive sound control based on walking, running, sitting, public transport is clever and actually adds to the usability. On bud touch controls (programmable in app) take some getting used to, but work well.
Some have real problems with the fit, I didn’t using stock ear tips, but I have also tried aftermarket comply tips which many say improve the in ear stability and I found these improve the fit, noise isolation and sound quality. Switching between multiple apple devices isn’t as slick as the AirPod pro’s but for me everything else is better (sound, noise cancelling, equaliser). XM4’s will be along soon so some excellent deals to be had on the current generation.
Sport Pursuits twice daily email (yes, really) today has Bang and Olufsen E8 on sale at £120. You need to sign up for the emails though!
I’d concur with this. Have an original set of Trueconnects, and they’ve been flawless. Biggys for me on the RHAs were a 3 year no quibble guarantee for peace of mind (never needed to use) plus they come with comprehensive set of different sized ear buds including Comply memory foam tips which work extremely well at keeping them in - never had an issue while using them running. Sound quality decent also.Quote:

Your right, I forgot to mention what I actually want them for.Quote:

So in reality, they probably don’t need to be the best quality or have the perfect sound but still don’t want to end up with something rubbish, hence the question.
Thanks,
Rob
They have built in microphones, and can be used for calls. They are perfectly adequate for calls, I've never had any problems making calls, apart from when it's really windy. Cambridge Audio is a hi-fi company and their focus is sound quality.Quote:

The hear-through function to switch noise cancellation on and off with a tap of an ear bud and the ability to have a few default settings (preset equaliser, noise cancellation level etc) is pretty impressive. Some other nice functions such as Auto pause when you take them out of your ears is great. Very happy with the our have so far.
Thank youQuote:

What has been the issues with them?Quote:

Jabra - I’ve got the 65s and find them excellent.
Another vote for RHA True ConnectsQuote:

So it think it’s looking like either the Senheisser’s, RHA or Cambridge Audio atm.
I would go for AirPod pro’s but don’t think I’d get the value out of them, although I may put a wanted add up for the weekend.
Cheers,
But thank you for your other ideas too!
Rob
Same here, superb sound quality and ANC.Quote:

A new version is due soon.
The Sennheiser momentum 2's are meant to be superb. They have them on offer in their UK Outlet store.

If budget is a concern just get the 65t - about £60 and the main difference is not usb C and no magnets to hold the headphones in the case.
Thanks, that may make sense as they are really only for tv watching on an iPad, just want a decent brand and ideally from Richer sounds in case anything goes wrong with themQuote:

So I couldn't find my BTR5 receiver for my Shure 846, so I took a punt on the new Sony XF-1000XM4.
They arrived just before I left for the airport so I've only listened in the airport & lounge. From the use I've had so far they are better than the airpod pros for playing music.
No issues connecting either.
I'm going to test the NC on the plane and the call quality when I land, but so far I'd recommend them.

Can anyone tell me how the Melomania 1+ would compare to Airpod Pro…anyone got both?
I own airpod pro’s and want a backup pair of cheaper earphones for the office. Mainly interested in bass for electronic music. (Usually if the earphone can kick out enough bass, rather than being an audiophile, I’m happy.)
All the reviews for these are extremely positive. Surely the wireless earphones of choice for anyone wanting the "best".Quote:
