Wife wants some new headphones... Airpods are how much??!!

[GinG]

Morning all,

The wife is after some new headphones which will be mainly used for running.

Currently uses the bundled wired headphones with her iPhone but is annoying her.

She is an apple advocate and would like some airpods however I can't help but feel that you could get better for the money?

Is there any reccomendations for alternatives please?

Say around £50 and £100 budget... Or is it best to just go with the airpods??

They are expensive for sure, but if she's an iSlave then anything else will be a compromise imho.

My misses lost her right pod the first day she took them out She now has the Pro version but has been WFH since

I have a set of Tao Troniks Soundbud Slim or something, they have a wire between them so I can take them out without worrying where to put them. £25 on Amazon!

Yeah that's the thing everything will be a compromise!

Is there any benefit if getting the pro over the normal other than a bigger credit card bill to pay in January?!

TBF I got a set of airpods (won them so free) and they are tremendous. I didn't realise just how much better they were than normal headphones and that's paired up to an android device. So they are expensive but they are also very good.

Is that the normal or the pro?

For the sake of it sounds like it's worth getting...

Decided to just go with it... £125 from John Lewis with 2 year guarantee seemed best spot.
