    If everything I read online wasn't about his the BH060 predecessors weren't nearly all better than I'd jump on that cos they look alot sexier than the other Tao models.

    They are not bad, with two caveats: they do clamp rather hard, might be a bit uncomfortable. And often you'd get a faulty pair...

    My MD301's are gone as my dopey of a son broke them!
    So now they're his, after a little Sugru love to fix them up.

    So I'm after another pair of Over-ear headphones.
    Might splurge a bit and go full ANC this time if some good deal comes up over Prime day.

    Have those and a pair of the bh47s and a pair of BH22s in my cart at the moment and bouncing between reviews of each.
    The BH60's were my original 1st choice when I bought the MD301's.

    Hey all, keeping an eye on prime day for deals on headphones.

    Does anyone know if things will keep getting added or if what I want isn't discounted now then it's probably not getting discounted at all?

    New Sony's being released on the 8th, available for preorder on Amazon now. Reviews are entirely positive with a single notable being no IPX/Sweat resistance noted in the specs.

    Not cheap at 249 Euros, but on paper are among the best of the premium brands.

    The Mixcder HD901 are on sale on aliexpress for $16.08 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33000448551.html
    They are the same as the Ausdom M09 also on sale for $16.49 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32854607161.html
    Reviews on them are middle.. I haven't seen any negative reviews. For the price they seem decent.
    Around €14.
    This was the synopsis of the best review I saw, most in depth and test performed etc.
    Summary:
    Simple but outwardly attractive headphones with a medium sound.
    I was pleased with the strict black design without any bright elements, ease and comfort to wear them (there is no squeezing or discomfort), excellent autonomy (up to 20 hours at maximum volume), good and stable reception. But the sound is heavy, without deep bass, without high frequencies. Passive insulation is weak, so the sounds of the environment are well heard. to finish, they are worth the asking price, but no more.

    Any recommendations for running headphones from aliexpress lads?

    I got the Tiso earbuds as a recommendation here and they’ve been great but not for running imo.

    Thanks

    edit, €20 is the max I want to spend if possible

    Ah don't say that! I ordered a pair based on the good reviews for running. They landed in Ireland yesterday too.

    Just a personal opinion. To be fair I currently use a jvc wired ones that wrap around my ear so maybe im just used to them being really secured in place.

    Might be grand for you. Good earbuds though.

    I ordered them too! Wanted them specifically for running. Mine landed in Ireland a week ago but the message on the tracker is:

    "Arrived in destination country; awaiting customs clearance"

    Anyone have any idea how on how long this usually takes?

    Mine didn’t get any hassle from customs. Sure they’re only €18 or whatever they were.

    Does customs not only get interested at around the €40 mark?

    25 euro. Hey need to make sure they are the declared value. Sure anyone could out a sticker for 15 quid on a 200 euro smartphone. Doesn't mean it gets through.

    Went with these in the end. Hopefully they’re ok and customs don’t stop them.

    Yeah, there shouldn't be any customs charge but I suppose they have to do random checks just in case the value is under declared.
    I'm assuming there's a serious backlog; as it's in Ireland a week now.
    I don't suppose I can contact customs about it? It's only one parcel. It's not as if I'm running a business.

    Just sit tight and wait. They have a job to do and as you said, it's only one parcel. It's one of the trade-offs you face if you're buying cheap from China. Time or money.

    It's often worth looking for resellers from within the EU. You might pay a bit more but you should get it faster and without the risk of customs delays or unexpected VAT bills.

    Is that on the total order or the individual items? I am going to buy two pair of earphones from AliExpress and wondering if it would be better to buy them separately?

    Total order including shipping.
    If coming from different sellers they will be shipped individually. I don't ever remember getting two items or more in one parcel from Aliexpress. even from the same seller now that I think of it.

    Got my Tiso I4 yesterday from Aliexpress. Took less than 2 weeks and they paired fine and fully charged out of the box.

    Sound quality is good so far and they are staying in my ears quite well although I may play around with other ear buds to get more comfort but so far so good. I have also walked 35 feet away from my desk and still played the music with no issue.

    my only gripes are the buttons need a little more pressure than expected to press, so it feels like I'm wedging the earbud right down my ear canal and its a shame they couldnt set volume controls on the buds but its a small matter

    For the price, I'm happy with the device so next is to check the battery life
