OK, it is a fairly specific request:
1, Bluetooth - i hate cables when running
2, Not pure earbud design, I dont have the right shaped ears (?) to keep buds in without then hurting (MTFU I know ....) so something has to go over the ear to hold them on
3, Sports type - when I am on the turbo i am very, very sweaty so unless they are design for sweat they wont last long.
4, cheap - actually I'm not fussed as to a reasonable cost as I have tried and failed with loads of headphones so one new set over 4/5 cheap ones .... you would have thought I would have learnt
Cheers All

I've just received a pair of [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/Soundpeats-Lightweight-Bluetooth-Headphones-microphone/dp/B00LP6CFEC ]Soundpeats QY7[/url]'s from Amazon.

1) Yes
2) Have sort of wing things that fit them into your ears, so sort-of
3) Yes, supposedly; time will tell
4) Very much - £15 so if they fall apart I won't cry.

Will be trying them on their first run later today.

I have the first gen [url= http://arriva.com/bluetooth-sports-stereo/ ]Arriva Leo[/url] which are great. Looks like the company's been bought by Blaupunkt but I can't now find any evidence of that...

Anyway, the Mk1 ones are great and come with a range of ear adaptors.

I've had lots of BT sports headsets, and they're all okay. Biggest problem is they can break up a lot, apart from the new jaybird bluebud x's.

But they're not cheap.

I had some of these that weren't bad, until they broke and stopped charging. TBH I can't be bothered to send them back, not at that price:

Only downside is that if you sweat [b]a lot[/b] they don't stay in too well, but that was only really an issue doing intervals on a treadmill, outside it never happened.
