Anyone have any experience with cheap tacky Airpod style knock offs?

As title ;)

After a set of wireless headphones for work, something like the airpods in type would be great but I work in a dirty, oily, coolantie eork shop so they would just get ruined.

Just wonder if it's worth trying some of the rain forests cheap alternatives? They all seem to review fairly well. Anyone tried any? Looking around £20-30 while the sales are on, obviously they wont sound the best but will hopefully be good enough for work
 
I use these:

Really surprised with how good they are. Good sound quality, good battery life. Never had any issues with the bluetooth at all they just connect to whatever device when I pull them out of the case. Just an all round decent product. Was that surprised I have a couple of sets. Not apple style but imo these run rings around the apple knock offs (we have a girl in the office with cheap apple copies and these are leagues ahead).

4 stars from 1k reviews but they are about 7 quid over budget.

I can only tell you I've tried both the jimwey wireless and the Enacfire E18 and both had problems in their own way.

I liked having a tactile button on the E18 as it meant you could put them in your ear without accidentally pausing music which is a big issue when you just want to put music on and not mess around. However... I had massive battery issues with them, ended up trying three sets before requesting a refund.

With the jimwey wireless they suffer from the above issue as well as having terrible tips which can't be changed easily as if you use a third party tip they don't fit the charging case as it is too shallow. As a result they have a terrible seal (for me anyway).

It's looking like you get what you pay for on earphones, or you stay wired. :-)
