Have you thought about galaxy buds?

I did look at them after I posted this. They look decent and will do the job.

I have had many cheapo pairs over the years, and a few posh ones too. The posh ones never justify their price for me, and as I keep losing them / dropping them I prefer cheapo ones that I can replace frequently. For me personally, my two favourites are from Enacfire and Jlab, particularly the Go Air Pops.

I've had a few faulty ones from all the major brands, however they've always been quickly replaced and I found both Jlab and Enacfire both very helpful in replacing them. The Enacfire's case also doubles as a small battery bank which has saved me in the past, however the Jlabs have a little equalizer thing with three settings built in, if that's your jam (I only ever use the standard sound profiles, so can't comment on the quality).

Let us know what you get, I like cheap and I like music so this is one of my weird obsessions

Cambridge Melomania's

if you can afford go for same Status Audio Between Pro, I can't tell you how good they are.

I've ordered the JLab Go Air Pops. Arriving tomorrow.

I'd recommend the Google Pixel Buds A series as well, can be had on ebay brand new, sealed for ~£60.

I'm loving mine so far.

SexyGreyFox · 9 Jan 2023 at 10:07

Honestly if anybody is thinking of upgrading consider the Status Audio Between Pro.
Everybody who have tried mine have been knocked out.

I had some Galaxy Buds and they were great but one headphone for some reason started to play everything at half volume. Could not find anything to fix this so went with some SoundPeats from AliExpress. Went with the TruEngine 3 and they're great, can't fault them.

My old Soundcore Life A2 buds are amazing and now cost £60. For sound quality I think they outperform my Pixel Pros.

Philtor · 11 Jan 2023 at 08:45

I would get the Sony WF C500 linked above personally. Not going to get better in this price range imo.

ninjag · 11 Jan 2023 at 16:50

I've got the Sony WF C500 and they seem excellent for the price.

rumple9 · 11 Jan 2023 at 16:52

I got some cheap chinese ones from the rain forest for £15 - great quality and still going strong after 3 years - used every day

I bought some of the Sony c500s but I find they come out of my ears with fairly limited head movement. Tried all 3 tips. Any suggestions? My first wireless earbuds but I want to use them while cycling.

Also you can't seem to change what the buttons do (I want to switch left earbud to pause / next track). Is there a 3rd party app the can?

Do all 3 tips feel loose? Usually you can get 3rd party ones, foam tips are even better staying in the ear.

Is this using Sony's Headphones app? It allows me to change the controls for my XM3s. Go to the Headphones tab, then under the area where it shows the battery status of your earbuds, tap on System, and there's a section called Change the touch sensor function:

Some of the refurb Sony do might hit that price every so often, keep seeing them appear on hukd

I won't wear anything other than Jaybird Vistas in the gym. They are just too good at what they do.

Happy not to be shelling out 150 sheets for the Jaybird Vista 3's (when the are announced) but I know I will probably have to
