I just ordered some of these Nuraloops.
https://www.nuraphone.com/products/nuraloop
I already own 2 pairs of the nuraphones which are great (got sent a second pair after I complained about a problem that turned out to be a duff charging lead and they never asked for the originals back - anyone want some nuraphones?).
And a pair of wireless buds Flare HD Pro's which have great sound but annoy me with the dangly bit.
So how these fill the gap.
There are some ace products in the market for linked wireless buds. Was hoping to move to fully wireless.https://www.nuraphone.com/products/nuraloop

How much would you want for them? Could be tempted...https://www.nuraphone.com/products/nuraloop

They look pretty much spot on for what I want, I tried the Bose QC30s a few months ago but wasn’t convinced. The sub £20 Anker ones I bought as a stopgap are terrible. https://www.nuraphone.com/products/nuraloop

I'd be interested to hear how these fare, once you've had an opportunity to test them in various environments. I'm on the hunt for some true wireless IE headphones and all the products at the ~£90 price point seem to be getting mixed reviews.
The Sennheisers seem to be significantly better, but I don't really want to spend £220-250.

The technology isn't all the way there yet. You have to hand it to Apple for the Airpods, they do some very clever things in a tiny package.
I have at least 250 hours on my Sonys (WF-1000X) so I am familiar with their flaws and the specific areas that I am looking for improvement on - specifically battery life, maybe video lag, and call quality. The Sonys generally have a solid connection when I am using them (mostly in the gym) and they do sound great for what they are.
I was specifically attracted to the Sonys for noise cancelling, but I never use it. I also find the high level of isolation they provide is almost too much for ear buds for what I am using them for - in the city it is sometimes disconcerting to be too isolated, and in the gym or if I'm running I can't have polite conversation.
My Jabra Wireless Earbuds have developed an annoying fault - they discharge in the box randomly. Time for another set of earbuds, then.
Ideally, I'd like noise cancelling (train commute), some sweat resistance (I run/cycle/row/gym with them in), secure in-ear fitting and truly wireless. I'm looking at the Sony range mainly but could be directed elsewhere.
Sony WF-SP700N seem to be splash resistant and noise cancellation
Sony WF-1000X looks not to have sweat resistance but have noise cancellation
Sony WF-SP900 are fully waterproof but have no noise cancellation
Anyone any experience with the SP700s? Or the 1000X in sweaty gym situations?
Anything else I should be looking at?

I use the 1000x in the gym every day of the week and haven't had any problems.
Honestly though I would not bother with them from a noise cancellation POV, the isolation is very good but the noise cancellation mostly causes connection problems and shortens the battery life although I have used it occasionally on flights and in hostels.
1000x are a first gen product and it shows.

Slightly different experience (although I agree with your last line) - I use mine on the daily commute in a very noisy car with no stereo. NC is bloody brilliant.

All the "waste" noise filtered out, can easily listen to audio books - whilst anything I need to hear (motorbikes approaching, horns, sirens, odd engine noises) come through fine.
How they'd hold up to loads of sweat I'd not guess though.

One thing you've mentioned though, which might be NC related - they're crap for making calls. Other end can only hear a dalek version of me, irrespective of my surroundings.
Going wire free has been a revelation though, for the vast majority of my use going wired (even a little neck wire) feels like a big step backwards.

I'd trade this for another twenty pages of headphones.
See what you've done !!!!I'd trade this for another twenty pages of headphones.

We now have a ring doorbell. This is frivolous really as we dont actually need one, a standard door bell would have sufficed.
Have to say, thus far I am impressed. It works well, only notifies us of people, not cars, has been up 10 days and still has 66% battery left. Only real downer was having to buy an extender for the wifi and plugging it into the shed as the wifi doesn't quite cut it at that distance, a small embuggerance I had been meaning to do anyway!
