Looking for a pair after two sets of crappy JVC ones have developed odd problems.
Budget about £60 max but cheaper if poss. Mostly used for walking the dog and running. Something that is likely to stay in my odd shaped ears. I quite like ones that hook over my ear so they don't rattle out.
I'm no audiophile but I appreciate a well balanced sound. Unfortunately I listen to everything and anything including audio books so I'm not after a bass heavy sound.
Was looking at the Optoma NuForce BE Sport4. Anyone got them?
Ta very.
Edit to add that I've spent hours reading reviews and can no longer differentiate between fake reviews, the clearly mentally ill, and fanboys! So real world experiences gratefully recieved!

I was given a pair as a leaving gift from work and assumed they would be overhyped crap.
Instead, to my continuing delight, I discovered that they are a quality product which I use most of every working day.

My Jaybird Tarahs have been great.
Waterproof too.
Creative outlier one plus, bought as a cheap stop gap have proved absolutely brilliant! Stay in my weird ears whilst running and biking. Even connect to my garmin watch easily. 31 quid, bargain!
I've had some of these for the last few months:

I was a bit skeptical about them not falling out of my ears, but they are surprisingly comfy to the point where I don't even notice they're there. I can sit at my desk for a couple of hours and not notice there presence (except the music obviously!) and I can go out running for an hour without the need to even adjust them or check they're there.
I would genuinely recommend them to anyone who asked. The only negative is the "touch control" button can be a bit sensitive to accidental touches, but having the stick bit below them gives you something to get hold of.
I have some Taotronics ones (lightly different from above)
Good:
Comfy, stay in ears well - I use them at the gym
Bluetooth connection is excellent
Good battery life and charging case
Bad:
Sound quality isn't amazing (not bad - just not great)
Not that great for making phone calls - other people often say they can't hear me well.
They were only about £20 or something, so overall still a good buy
I'm using these Swapped the tips to some memory foam ones and they have been great for what I want them for.
Thanks everyone. Some good links there. I like the Creative ones but I'm tempted by the Chinese brands too.
But also just seen these and I've always had good stuff from Anker. Will have to make up my mind over a beer this evening!
Another vote for Beats X here.
I bought a set in a sale last year and have been very pleased with them. They are comfortable to wear, battery lasts well and the sound is great now Beats have gone away from that awful bass bias they used to have.
I've had an older version of the Tranya bluetooth earbuds for over a year now and they are brilliant..can't fault them and they do not move regardless of what gym exercise I'm doing
