Bluetooth Earphones...

[Coby.]

I'm looking for some Earphones that are Bluetooth for when I'm in the Gym/Out running etc.

I know Dre Beats aren't all that highly rated but can can anyone find and recommend anything better than these??

I'm not loving the idea of even spending that much money on them but will if I can't find better for less.

Cheers.

Anyone got any input??

 

[Jack!]

An input of sorts. I couldn't wear Beats, no way, to be tied in with the sort of people normally seen wearing them, especially gym goers with Beats, they usually also have all the fashion gym gear, stringer vest, Nike Huaraches, Joey Essex haircut.

My mum bought me a pair of the Beats earphones for Christmas, I haven't had the heart to tell her I'll never wear them.

These aren't the massive over ear ones though so not so worried about image.

What ones have you been bought?

 

[Jack!]

Mine aren't wireless; to be honest, I think they sound poor too - they're too coloured, too much over emphasis on bass, I prefer my £20 Panasonic ones.

Bluetooth degrades quality, do you need wireless?

 

[Coby.]

Cables bug me when running or in the gym, I hate having to have my phone in my pocket etc. so much easier having it in my bag and just controlling it from the headphones.

My brother has the over ear Bluetooth ones and I love them but not ideal for running or laying down on the benches.

 

[Jack!]

Ah, I have a 6th Gen iPod to get round that problem, the one that's the same size as a Shuffle and has a screen, it clips onto my trackies.

I would help you look, but Google seems to think earphones and headphones are interchangable; search for bluetooth earphones and get page after page of bluetooth headphones.

Half price, usually £120, look a good bet, Jaybird seem well received.

Good price but the Blue Buds get rated a lot better so may do a bit more looking in to them.

Yeah, but they were £130, I thought those were worth a punt, considering there almost 3 times cheaper than the Beats.

 

[Coby.]

Oh definitely worth considering at £60 as that is much easier on the wallet.... I'll spend some time reading plenty of sites to see what the general consensus is.

Cheers for your help so far.

 

[Coby.]

Well, Did some reading and thought I'd try some budget ones for now.

Went for these - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00OK5BELU/?tag=cliospnet01-21

Reviews seem decent for £20 but if they're s**t I'll spend some more cash.

I'm only currently using the headphones supplied with my iPhone so not like I'm used to high end sound.

Worth a try at that price surely. I'd rather cut my ears off than buy beats headphones.. or beats anything.

 

[Coby.]

That's my thinking, 4.6 out of 5 is pretty good and if they're good happy days but if they're not its only £20.

I don't get the hate for Dre Beats but then I live in a small town so maybe don't get exposed to the full force of the type of people that wear them.

 

[Gally]

I hate them because they're a simple marketing exercise.

Any ol bluetooth headpiece will sound mostly the same. Due to the limitations of bluetooth.

so, sod it

Well they arrived and with a quick 5 minute test in my house seem decent enough.... Tested the range and they should reach as far as I need them.

Came with different tips and ear bits to mix and match for your comfort.

Will report back after a few gym visits to see how I get on.

Bump need some for running, what are people using currently?

 

[Daz...]

Not tried them for running, but they work well. Quite surprised for the price.
