Running? Count me out

Not for £20. You make as well strap 2 empty baked bean tins to your ears. I paid £100 for a pair of Bose earphones a while back, they do the job brilliantly and the sound quality is mega.

Damn

I've had Beats for about 3 years but they're too big for running, didn't want to spend too much but looks like I'm gonna have to fork out

these are very decent for the price. You can adjust the volume and track on them as well. Well built, reliable, doesnt cut out and are comfortable

Fooking hell Ice he'd look a right cant running in them beasts

I use these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-PMX-685i-Neckband-Headphones/dp/B0094R4Q6Y/ref=sr_1_22?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1389047164&sr=1-22&keywords=Sennheiser

Why do you need bluetooth headphones?

I currently possess the highest rated headphones for <£50 and the highest rated for £200-£300. I'm a happy headphone chappy, considering all i had before xmas was some free in ear shayte

I didn't read your post properly.Why do you need bluetooth? I had a pair of sports bluetooth earphones,they were a pain in the ars-e, always cutting out (£70).

If you change your mind and you want a normal set of earphones I've found another pair of Sennheiser,for under £20.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SENNHEISER-PMX80-PMX-80-NECKBAND-SPORT-II-HEADPHONES-FOR-IPOD-IPHONE-MP3-DEVICE-/111249293620?_trksid=p2054897.l4276

I think I might get myself a pair for that price.

These are fantastic. They take a bit of time to ship from china, but they're well worth it. Sturdy and with fantastic sound.

Cost ~£50 elsewhere

Do they stay in? I've got to have the neckband for mine to say in.

I guess it depends on your running style, but they work for me. Might be worth getting the more standard sports ones though. Just thought i'd throw a recommendation out there

If you want bluetooth but don't want to shell out, I would look at getting one of these:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bluetooth-Adapter-Receiver-3-5mm-for-Headphone-MP3-MP4-Speaker-Phone-PC-/350852030770?pt=UK_Computing_USB_Bluetooth_Adapters_Dongles&hash=item51b0692132

that's the bluetooth side of things sorted, then all you need is to get a pair of headphones that suit you.

You can spend an absolute bundle on headphones, they're all subjective, one man's meat is another man's poison, not sure what it's like testing stuff out these days with in ears but try and listen to some before you buy.

I have a cheap (£70) pair of shure in-ear noise blocking headphones, I know in-ear are not to everyone's taste but the bass response is phenomenal and no colouration to the sound through noise cancelling circuitry because they use plugs that go right in your ear and shape themselves to completely block any external noise getting in.

£20? Haha not gonna happen.

I bought the Philips SHB9100/00 just after Christmas and haven't looked back. No problem with connectivity. Works perfectly with iPhones and whatever. Great for training in the gym as well no cables to worry about so you know that as soon as that breaks they are gonna be ruined etc.

I would serious recommend the ones I bought but for me a pair of Bluetooth headphones are the only way for me now, I wouldn't go back to cables.

The main reason I said BT was because the wires annoy me far too much when running.

Appreciate the feedback though, will have to have a look at these

The only problem with Bluetooth is it will drain your battery, especially if you're also running a tracker app when you're running.

They make some OK headphones but for £20 they're going to be a bit naff, whoever makes them!!

Whatever you do, don't try Rowntree Randoms sweets to keep your energy up. They are addictive and will take all you money. Should be banned.
