Wireless Buds

I have a set of Sennheiser Momentum that I've owned for 3 years and more. They have great sound and are really comfortable, but come with a few gripes.

They don't auto turn off when not being used.
They have a cable linking them
The receiver on the cable is far too big, it looks daft.

I would be interested in any suggestions for a new set of true wireless buds. Has anyone picked up anything recently that they've been impressed with?

Budget is around £250

Cambridge Audio Melomania 1 if you want a bargain as they are currently being reduced everywhere as Melomania Touch are available from 1st January

Cambridge Audio Melomania 1's are brilliant.
I lost them around February, went back to my wired JBLs and then had to buy the Cambridge again.

The sound is excellent with my Moto G8 Plus > Poweramp but the sound with my Sony Xperia 5 ii > Poweramp > DSSE On is sublime and nearly as good as my Cowon Plenue DAP with Fidue A83s.

Sorry to be a total n00b, what do you mean by Poweramp? Is that a setting or additional hardware?

Poweramp is the Android music player I've used from day one.

Cheers.

I saw these buds recommended a few times last night so I think they'll be worth a punt.

Appreciate the responses.

Cambridge do their own foam buds 5 pairs for £10 which are worth it.
They also do a £10 rubber cover that goes over the case which is worth 20p.
The good point is if I had one on my first pair it may not have fell out of my pocket because the rubber would have stuck better to the inside of my pocket so that would have been worth £10
