Small bluetooth earphones?

Cheetah Designs · 11 May 2015 at 07:36

Has the technology advanced enough to get small earphones yet?

I'm not really that fussed on the sound quality, I'm just interested in ones that won't fall out of my child ears.

They do exist, but not without having to have a box around the neck to house the electronics and battery. Without the external box, it would be impossible really as earphones are much too small to hold a decent battery, let alone the electronics.

I was hoping there would be a pair where the electrics were in a slightly thicker wire without the wire being entirely ridged.

How about the Meelectronics Sport-Fi X7?

Ooo these look like they might be worth a punt... do you have them?... what do you think?

I don't but the guy that wrote the review is well respected on Headfi

They look pretty good. Must admit, I didn't think it would be possible to fit the electronics and decent battery into what is quite a compact design, even now. I assumed wrongly that you'd still have to have the little box around your neck.

These are brand new so I'm not surprised that you hadn't seen them

Glad I caught this thread! Just ordered the x7's (60 bucks USD on the forest)

Thank you!

I know I am reviving an old thread but i never got around to buying these. They still the best to go for or should I be looking at something else?

There are loads of these small headphones on amazon Bluetooth ones

Most of the look pretty shoddy quality. I am looking at these ones: http://www.ministryofsound.com/audio/audio-in-plus#F2lPYJfFTYo360yX.97

...but I cant figure out why the cable is 1.2m long, seems a bit excessive for Bluetooth earphones?

The Axgio Sprint look good at just £30 but getting hold of them may be a problem as they are currently out of stock on the rain forest.
