Hi all - Can anyone recommend me a set of wireless headphones (ideally earbuds) that are decent for PC/conference calls?
I've had a set of LG buds that were OK but have just died on me.
Ordered a set of Ear Fun Pro's after reading several reviews online but they were awful to use, Mic not always picking up my voice, constant screeching sounds in my ear on calls, now always connecting - so these have just been returned.

Ideal budget is up to £70.

Thanks smile

If this is for working from home in your own space, I'd also look at desktop speakers. I use a Jabra at home, and it's so much better than using anything that sits on or in your ears. I wouldn't go back to a headset now except for use in open-plan offices.

As above if it's suitable you should consider the USB desktop speaker/mic. I hate messing with the headsets when working from home.

Got myself a Jabra 510. All the buttons on it to answer calls/volume/mute. Great volume & mic sensitivity.

My wife works at home too, she ended up getting one a few months after me.

Thanks both - But I need the privacy of headphones at times and also like to wander round a little smile

While I use a Sennheiser SP20 desktop speaker/mic I do also have a set of Bose NC 700 headphone - while not being buds they are excellent (IME) for teams and calls and have a decent range on them too

Got my Mrs a set of these. 25% off 79.99 right now.

They do a passable impression of Jabra Evolve 75’s, which are double the price. She is happy with them.

For the best quality you really do want a set of dedicated conferencing headphones with a boom mic.
