Wireless Earphones

I'm looking for a reasonably priced pair of true wireless earphones to use mainly for running. Mainly looking for something that won't fall out whilst running and is reasonably good quality/volume (won't be drowned out by passing traffic). I saw the i5s are well recommended but will take up to 25 days to deliver through Ali express apparently. Ideally I'd like to get a pair ASAP as I find running without music unbearable and don't fancy the prospect of 25 days without running. Is there any decent pairs in brick and mortar shops? In general online seems to be much better value. All suggestions appreciated, thanks.

Might be worth a look for €37

Those phones are good, but not for running. I have a set, sound is good, but the button bits are very heavy, and bounce around a lot, and will pull the plugs out of your ears more often than not.

gabbo is coming

This isn't a bargain alert but had Creative ones for 80, Bose qcII

All not great

Got apple airpods, even though I have an android phone

Unreal, great for running (don't get any movement noise), simple to use, no looking back

The AirPods are a fantastic piece of kit. Tech wise and how they pair and work, especially with ios is super. But the right one wouldn’t stay in my ear. Even simple tasks of running across the road in traffic involved me holding it.

I had to sell them as they were no use for training or cycling for me.
I’ve ordered the i5’s but in the mean time I got the chance of a set of Powerbeats Pro. All the goodness of apple and iOS integration for me but the hooks and bud tips mean they stay in, even when I’m upside down doing hand stand pushups !!

Still have the i5’s coming so the wife will get them as she was hoping is oss on the AirPods to her

Much difference between tiso i5's and the remdi airdots?

Got the Xiaomi Dots a few days ago.
Took them for a test run yesterday. Felt very comfortable in my ears and didn't budge. Good quality sound I think aswell
Well worth the money

I had them. And the smaller version too.
They worked perfect. Just the hassle of having them with you alongside the case and they wouldn’t fit in the charging case.

So now instead of just putting them in your ear you had to assemble them before use.

In saying that they are really good and I’m actually selling brand new packs of them on adverts currently

This post mentions some. I have no idea how useful the products mentioned are. Me and swimming have an agreement.

So my tiso i4s are giving me trouble today. They just won't pair up with my phone or each other. I got the right one to pair with my laptop but it's very hit and miss. I treid resetting my phone and the ear pieces but no result. Anyone have any tips?

Not wireless earphones per se, but turns normal earphone wireless through Bluetooth. Sound is amazing as well, find myself using it all day and then maybe watching a film late at night:

Some aliexpress sellers do.
They used to but the paypal comission charges were too high for many, so they stopped. I think they reintroduced it this past year, but the seller can choose.
Most choose not to use it.
There was a lot using it in April this year, but they seem to have opted out again mostly. Can't really blame them. Paypal charges are ridiculous.

Did anyone the i500 TWS? Is battery life really 4-5 hours

I have the i10’s and only last 90 minutes and want to upgrade

Is there a general consensus on budget alternatives to the AirPods? Looking for something similar that doesn't create a seal in the ear. Preferably with quick enough delivery.

I know there are a bunch of clones, but there are so much at this stage it would make your head spin.

i500 TWS are a clone or AirPods 2 but I can’t find what the battery life is online some say 2-3 hours and others say 4-5 hours

If I found proof of 4-5 I’d buy them straight away

i5's Ordered.

Delivered today.
Ordered 18th
Arrived 27th.
Great service.

They look great. Pass the pocket carry test.
I’ll pair them up and test shortly but it looks like Mrs. Kceire is confiscating them.

After buying a few el-cheapo wireless earphones/buds from the AliExpress and others, I ended up just getting a set of Motorola Verve Buds 400 True. The fear of them exploding in my ears is gone
