Previously using Sennheiser CX Sport which have finally died. Looking for a alternative for no more than £150. Preferably USB C charging rather than micro usb like my CX sports.
Did look at Beats Studio but don’t have great reviews. AirPods don’t fit in my ear and the pro are far too expensive.
Like deep powerful bass as I’m very much into four to the floor Trance and House.
Won’t be used for sporting activities just around the house listening, cutting the lawn and for lying by the pool on holiday.

I've always found JBL to be pretty decent for the money.

Soundcore (Anker) Liberty Air 2 are great for the money, case charges via usb-c.

The AirPods Pro are really very decent, especially so if you are in the Apple eco system, You can find them for £150 if your prepared to hunt around/Apple refurb store etc, they’ll be discounted further at some point this year as the new model is due out. Or the Sony xm3 measure and sound really good, Amazon have them for less than £100 here

I’ve got both the AirPods Pro and the Sony XM4. The AirPods are more stable in my ears when moving around with them in, but the Sony have far better audio performance and noise cancelling. They’re also more intuitive to use the features as they’re simply tap to operate, the AirPods need you to grab a tiny button on the stalk.

The AirPods are more comfortable to emplace, but silicone tips for the Sony resolve this, admitted by making them less stable in the ears when moving around.

I paid £180 for the XM4s in November last year and £125 for the AirPod Pro with Wireless MagSafe using an eBay discount code.

Have a look at Amazon Warehouse, I just picked up a pair of AirPods with a heavy discount as they were only in “very good” condition. In my case “very good” seems to mean the box had been open and nothing more.
