I searched STW on this subject a couple of weeks ago and ended up with Ankers

Hmmmm ... not so sure

I really am in no way any kind of audiophile but even my deaftone standards they aren't great.

And I reckon they'll be rubbish for running too.... They work loose while I walk, let alone run. ... Sorry just my opinion .... and of course I may just have massive lug holes for them to rattle loose in ??

Good luck

Wee cheap headband from decathlon if you need to listen to music is a winner, keeps any buds in.

Not bluetooth, but I picked up some cheapy Philips earphones in TK Maxx for a tenner - come with over-the-ear hooks, and they're perfect for me - stay on throughout the run and the sound is not horrendous, but they don't mask traffic noise etc.

I have the Betron ones for gym use.

Can't fault them for the £9 i paid for them. Would be hard to fault at 30quid.

I got a pair of jlab ones from argos.

Can't remember the price.

They're marked as sports ones i think. They've been through the washingmachine already so seem pretty resiliant.

On the anker soundbuds fit, mine came with about 5 different sized rubber ear bits that you can swap over to get one that fits. Once I’d got the right size one they fit great whilst running. Sound is fine to my non audiophile ears.

Not sure they survive the washing machine though. I had a pair that I think went through and they worked after but the Bluetooth wouldn’t connect anymore. I ordered a new pair and then somehow got this new pair and the old pair muddled up! Left in a situation where it wasn’t possible to tell which was which, I had to assume that the old pair had come back to life and were the fully functioning pair and these newly ordered ones were faulty. Amazon are, despite having questionable tax arrangements, pretty good at refunding goods that are faulty if it’s within a few days of purchase.

I had the Anker Soundbuds for on the turbo and they died on me pretty quickly, twice (possibly sweat related). They also had a habit of falling out quite easily. I've now got Anker NB10s and they're much more reliable and better fit (plus I've run with them), but over budget at £30.

Anker were good with replacements/refund though.
