Samsung's new Galaxy Buds Pro also seem to be excellent as well going from what I've read and I've got a Galaxy phone so would be able to unlock the best features.

Others I've read include the Jabra Elite 75t and the Sony WF-1000XM3.

I wouldn't underestimate the Galaxy Buds Plus either, the design gives you plenty of passive isolation and these days they are regularly around the £100 mark compared with the £200+ of the new Pro model.

My issue with the Buds Plus is that Samsung brought out the Buds, Buds Plus, Live and then Pro within an extremely short period of time so there's obviously issues with the older versions that they've since corrected.

Has anyone got any recommendations on wireless earphones for running?

Currently looking on Amazon and the majority of the brands are unknown but are around the £30-£40 mark, so a bit sceptical of their quality, however they fairly decent ratings.

Was looking at spending up to £80 or so. Is there a marked difference in quality at these price points?

I have a pair of Soundpeats Truedot and they are fairly good. They are fine for walking or running and I’m not too worried if I lose them (which I haven’t).

Ignoring the Live, which seem like a trial of an alternate design, the others have come at yearly intervals rather than in an extremely short period of time with the plus addressing issues in the original Buds, but the Pro is mainly about the addition of the ANC more than anything else, in much the same way that the 75t and XM3 have updated and improved models out now too.

The 75t do seem to be some of the best around don't they? I might give then a whirl.

This site is brilliant Welshred albeit it's audiophile-focussed. I'm keeping an eye on the same. My wife got some 2nd hand airpods for her work calls and is already complaining about them not working properly with her iphone, so am on the lookout for an upgrade that costs a fair bit less.

Cheers Roy. I'm not hugely an audiophile but I used to get cheap headphones a while back but forked out for my Bose Soundsport a few years ago and was blown away by how good they were and how durable they are. If something is recommended by audiophiles I'm sure I'll like them!

Well, the only thing they're really bad for early adopter stupidity. If it's an established product they're good on ratings.

Some of the technology they use for on stage monitors is starting to creep into the earpieces now. I went on to get plug in pieces for other earphones (for example you get adapters for Shure earpieces now for about £40 or so that let you use them the same way. If you know the set of connector types you can make quite nice 'frankenmonitors'.

I had to get Aftershokz, because earbuds don't fit in my stupid ears.

They sound good, long battery life. At max volume its a weird sensation though.

Headphone Amps and/or DACs (usb for desktop PC)... Have you got one, use one ?
I use headphones for music , youtube, movies etc for late night listening & sometimes i'm nearly on full volume  >:(
i know youtube can be hit & miss quality wise, also it depends on the file/bitrate you input for quality output..
is it worth getting a usb DAC.. will it 'drive' the headphones.. loads of info out there but better to get an answer from a user.  8)

i'm using AKG K92 (32 ohms) not high end power beasts but surely a budget DAC can help ?
was looking at ebay-Audioquest dragonfly...

It is an amp that would improve things if you are having issues with driving your existing headphones, the dac is what would improve things if the one on your motherboard is a bit iffy.

Something like the dragonfly would be a reasonable entry-point into this sort of thing, fiio and shanling also do some tidy ones in that entry-level kind of price range that would also work pretty well on your phone if the manufacturer is one who has nicked the headphone socket from you too as they include bt support.

Thanks.. i think thats what is needed, mini amp to 'drive' the headphones.. my headphones are only 32 ohms so nowt major.
was looking at maybe a quality soundcard but the more i read about it, DAC seems the best option... dragonfly V 1.2 .. but will look at the others you mention.. ta  :wave

Got a pair of these.  They've been excellent - they also gave me an £8 voucher just for reviewing them.  Just not too keen on the usb charging bit (or should i say the cover) seems flimsy but so far it's held up.

Dont be afraid to buy second hand headphones, i've had the sennheiser momentums over ears for about 2 years, and they only cost £80, used, but new would have been £250-300.

Also have wireless earphones by Xiaomi True Wireless, sometimes theyre called AirDots, but its a but tricky to get the better pair, cost me about £60 new, when they had the store at Westfield London. decent apple style earphones.
did you know that 10 x 2 and 11 x 2 have the same answer?

Almost bought these. Too uncomfortable though and too big over the top of the head. Ended up with the limited edition Bose QC 35 MK 2. Was worried about the bass response since Bose refuse to publish it (Sony claim from as low as 4hz) but fuck me these are goooood.... So comfy too. A tad limited with the range but manageable.

Bought some wired open back headphones for music and gaming the beyerdynamics tygr and they are unreal for the price. I’m no audiophile even though I’m always after a good sound, best I’ve ever had and the build quality feels great. Also got a little Bluetooth dac fiio btr3k to improve sound over normal device output which is great but I’ve ordered a cable to make it into into dongle as that should be better.
After having them a good few months now these are by far the best I’ve ever owned. Can wear them for hours without being uncomfortable/too hot. Brilliant for music and gaming as the soundstage is large and you can pin point sounds around you.

Obviously being wired and open back they aren’t for anything other than home use. That suits me as I have Sony Bluetooth ones for on the go even though I hardly use them now.

Still can't decide what head phones to get . I was looking at Sony xm4 or Bose but I'm afraid of low latency input lag while watching matches . Sony xm4 seem to have some lag . Be using them 80 %  time with tv & 20% time with Phone or tablet . If it was for tv only I'd just get some thing the seinnheiser 135s

Can't speak for anyone else but I use the XM4s for watching TV at night as well and I don't notice any particular lag. Maybe it depends on the TV? I use it with a LG C1.

The only time it seems to start getting off sync is when I watch YouTube specifically, but all I have to do is switch off the DSEE on the app

that's interesting ! Thanks for that . And do you watch much live sports with them on LG ? And no lag ? Surely if there's no lag on c1 there be none on cx . Might chance them

Not live sports with them on, no. I only watch football and I just mute the commentary usually anyway  :P

With the CX though, it seems to be a mixed consensus online. Some are saying no lag, others saying it starts lagging after a little while, I'm guessing it's because it doesn't have the aptx codec. I would assume the fix would be to either take them off (which would automatically stop playing) and put them back on, and so re-syncing it, or the DSEE on and off thing again.

I can see how that would get annoying though. I would say to be absolutely sure, go with the XM3. They're cheaper, have aptx, pretty much the same battery life, and the only difference I can think of really is that the XM4 can pair with two devices at once while with the XM3 it's just one.

Anyone tried this brand (EarFun)?  Seen a few reviews and they've seemed positive, Richer Sounds sell them so they can't be that bad.  Can't afford AirPods for the missus to be honest, but £70 seems good value for the features and how well they seem to perform.

I know I'm a bit late with this, but I wouldn't be looking at cost as a benchmark for wireless earphones for working out or running. The reason I say this is because I had a pair of earphones made by an unknown company called Mpow. Those things lasted me for roughly 6 years and I was gutted when they stopped working. They had outstanding audio quality. Fantastic build quality. Are waterproof, and they stay on your head where you want, in your ear where you want, and did the job. How much? I got them for about 14 quid brand new, but the make (Cheetah) has since been discontinued and replaced by a model called 'Flame'. I recently replaced the Cheetah's  that eventually died on me because the battery got exposed to moisture and shorted everything so they couldn't be repaired. The Flame aren't as robust, especially with the cable, and have a very slightly inferior sound (at least to my ear) but are still amazing quality, and they go for roughly 20 quid brand new. I managed to get a lost and found pair on ebay missing an earbud for 6 quid. Have two pair of them. Can't go wrong.

The XM3 are cheaper. Not sure about the UK prices but it won't be more than 120-125 I'd assume. If you're looking for workout ones then either the powerbeats pro or the Jabra 85t.

If you don't mind Samsung again, maybe the newer Buds 2? Or, if you get lucky and find them on sale somewhere, the Sennheiser Momentum 2.

Budget is about £100, I've seen nothing but good reviews about these Melomania 1+ which seem to just get brilliant reviews all round.  Only thing is the wife likes her Apple tech, and the AirPods (not Pro) are about as low as I can find them at the minute.  If I was buying for me, I'd get the Melomania but I'm not.

Last time I went there I saw masturbating chimpanzees. Whether you think that's worthy of £22 is up to you. All I'll say is I now have an annual pass.

I looked at those exact same headphones and nearly bought them.  For the price they can't be beaten when it comes to sound quality.  I think the only reason I didn't get them was that I read a handful of reviews regarding connection issues and some people didn't like the comfort of them.  Must stress these were few and far between, but connection issues did keep popping up in user reviews.

I ended up getting the 2nd gen airpods.  They sound great, been flawless when using with the iphone and very comfortable, the only downside is the battery life as if you don't keep them in the charging case they still seem to drain.  They're currently at £99 from Argos and Amazon.  If she likes her apple tech then the airpods are a no brainer really.
