Budget?

I've been happy* with MPow Cheetah http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mpow-Cheetah-Headphones-Microphone-Hands-free-Bluetooth-Stereo/dp/B00OH9IB8I Comfortable, easy to use good battery life

*my first set did fail before the first charge and I returned for a refund. They then contacted me and gave me a free set in return for a review. Make of that what you will but I'm still happy with them 9 months later

I have just bought some jay bird x2s. Sound very good and have good sound isolation. Bit of a rip off tho if I'm honest with myself! (I do like them tho!)

(they look very similar to the Mpow ones...)

I'm a big fan of the cheap Tao tronics ones, http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B011RNSZSW/ref=pd_aw_sim_23_4?ie=UTF8&dpID=41OfYjLAgSL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL115_SR115%2C115_&refRID=0G07AZTAPXQ5W32RQ6HY

I've had all sorts of earphones and these ones are probably the most listenable, including 3 pairs of Shures, a pair of sennheisers and I've lost count of how many Sony sets I've had.

Really surprisingly good. I bought them for running but use them as my go too earphones now, they're the best sounding ones I have.

My Plantronics Backbeat Fits have been excellent - they really do feel like a well-designed product from an industrial heaphone manufacturer rather than a fashion item (I'm particularly impressed by the fact that they've issued two software updates since I've had them!). But bear in mind that they don't block external noise - great for running but not so good for the gym if it's one of those places that pump out loud crap music all the time.

Am impressed with the sweatproofness of my backbeat fit after destroying a couple of wired and wireless sets on the turbo trainer.

Dash by Bragi are working well for me, but not quite within the budget 🙂

Cheers, Rich

I'm a serial headset destroyer. They either go at the jack, or at the joiny bit when I get them caught on door handles, buses, knees, baby gates etc...

I thought I'd splash out £14 on a pair of [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bluetooth-Headphones-Mpow-Wireless-Earphones/dp/B011AVRSRA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1457735327&sr=8-1&keywords=mpow+swift ]Mpow Swift[/url]. They don't have a jack or a dangly cable, so these ones should be invincible, right? All was good until I was playing with my youngest and rolled on them. It popped an ear off, but the other one still works. I'll buy another pair soon.

A bit of a postscript. The MPow Cheetah has a weakness in that it doesn't like getting wet. Got caught in the rain this afternoon and the buttons went haywire skipping tracks. Now in a bag of rice in the airing cupboard
