I won't stretch to the Apple Airpods, but is there anything in the sub £50 range worth a punt?
Probably for connection to a Garmin Vivoactive 3 Music and an iPhone. Primarily for litening to spotify playlists, but I don't have great hearing, so not concerned too much about audio clarity.
What you got?

Both me and the eldest lad have the Enacfire Future earbuds at £40 from Amazon and they are really good.... better than the apple ones when we did a listen test at work.

I'm always too worried about losing one/them - I can be bad enough with the wired-together ones!

For anyone wanting to spend a little more, I just got some refurb Sony WF 1000X on Amazon for £80, normally £150, with 5* reviews etc. Seemed like a good deal.

I too am worried I'm going to lose them (they haven't arrived yet) but on my Anker Soundbuds the suction fit in my ears with the correct sized buds is so tight I have to remove them carefully otherwise the vacuum really hurts my ears. So choose the fittings carefully and you should be ok if they are this design:

@bbsb - OP said: "non wired together ones" (missed your edit 🙂 )

I'd say, whatever you go for - check online reviews.
My son saw a great review of these https://www.solrepublic.com/earbuds.html
So got him a pair - and they truly do sound amazing. However, as a lot of other users, they have Bluetooth pairing issues. Unfortunately had to go back.

The non wired Bluetooth phones feel so good when just wandering around the garden or on the Ridgeway. The only problem I have is keeping them in on harsh rides. A buff worn as a headband works. Having on ear volume control is great too.
I was given a pair but was about to buy the Anker Soundcore after trying them.

I ahve some Tautronics that are very good sound quality (mind you I'm not a super music buff type)
and quite cheap. The 052 model ones I have come with their own charging box that also has a USB output so you can use it as a battery pack for your phone too.
