Cheap Bluetooth Buds- Reccomendations?

[leezer3]

Basically, I'm looking for a cheap pair of bluetooth buds, but ones that actually have had some form of QA done on them....
In other words, not the Aliexpress / eBay specials.... (Just tried one of these, promising waterproof + wireless charging- Dead as a dodo on arrival)

I want the in-ear oines without rubber tips, but other than that not at all fussed.

I really don't care about sound quality, they're only being used for audiobooks and Radio 4 / Radio 5.

Anyone bought anything they can reccomend recently?

I've been using these for the past year or so - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09BZM25Y3 - bit more expensive now than the £30 I paid, but I haven't been able to fault them. I use them a lot to commute into London a lot and the ANC really does make a difference.

I've had a set off Amazon for about a year, still work perfectly. I think they were about £12, but I've no idea if they're still available or not.

Anker make consistently good value products. Their P20i Sound core headphones took a trip through the washing machine and we're still working after a couple of days in some rice!

Just checked and they're £16 today on the rainforest.

I have a pair of Jlab Go Air Pop
Imo they sound really good, easy to charge with the built in lead, and battery lasts ages

The a3i sound core are pretty good the money. Especially when they're £30 or so.

In August I bought some Lenovo GM2 earbuds from Ali-Express for a whole £5.43 inc delivery in a HUKD listing. They have lights (which don't light up when in your ear, thankfully!) and a case with lights and they were a risk. But I'm thinking about paying more for a backup pair. Very happy with them indeed, and I've tried quite a few cheap brands in the £20 range. Would never pay more, because my track record of not losing one or the other is poor!

If you don't want rubber tips then maybe something like the soundpeats wings 2 or air 3?

I have them and they're decent.

Thanks, will look into the suggestions

Tight sealing rubber tips don't go well with skin issues unfortunately.....

I’ve got this exact pair too which I purchased via a HotUKDeals ad. I they’ve proven excellent VFM and they’re still going strong. Very good sound quality and battery life considering how much I paid. They come recommended.
