Wireless on ear headphones

[Belle427]

I mainly use them when walking, have been using a pair of compact sennheiser px100 for a few years which have served me well but fancy wireless now.
Cant get on with in ear and prefer something slimmer in design.
Have seen some Sony on amazon but reviews are mixed.
Budget up to £75.
Anyone bought anything recently?

AKG tends to be where I would suggest starting at this budget.

New they are slightly above your budget at £89

Or if your happy to go without to warranty the older model but possibly slightly better y500 there is one new on ebay for £65

JVC ones @ Lidl at the moment for twenty quid

I appreciate they are over budget (£100 at Richer at the mo) but I have the AKG Y500 and am very happy with them, and I paid more!
Battery life is phenomenal.
My only complaint is that it uses a 2.5mm jack on the headphone end should you want to use them wired, but a quick google shows these are easily available if you lose it.

I've got some AKG N60 noise cancelling, think they were about £100. Really recommend them though, sound good and comfy to wear for a while as well.

Two minor criticisms would be that you can't have them on bluetooth with noise cancelling off, and when I wear them round my neck the cups slightly catch and pull at my beard.

I'm a big Audio Technica fan - my partner has the smaller of these two and I've got SR50BTs which are a bit over budget but here's two choices for you

I bought the Sony WH-CH510 for about £30 and v happy with them. Light weight, decent performance at this price point and comfy.
Used mainly so my mrs doesnt have to listen to techno/dnb

Battery life seems good in both play mode and standby

[Belle427]

Thanks all, I had actually looked at most of the ones suggested except the Audio Technica.
Will look into them all, don't mind a slight budget stretch up to £100.

Damn it.

Those were the second ones..

If you still like the headphones, you can get away with one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mpow-Bluetooth-Receiver-H...

Sound quality may not be as awesome as some mentioned here - but we are loving the bone conductors : https://aftershokz.co.uk/
Other brands are acceptable.

For walking the dog, riding the bike or working away but with spatial awareness they give best of both worlds for me and I haven't touched the 'proper' phones since.

No doubt when travelling (planes / trains) I will revert to closing off the outside noises.

[Belle427]

I've taken a punt on the Akg Y400 from Richers.
Will let you know how I get on with them.

[Belle427]

Very happy with these, nice balanced sound and not too big.
Feel a but tight on the ears when you first put them on but you get used to it after a few mins.
2 hours use out walking today and very impressed.
