    Could anyone recommend a decent pair of wireless earphones around £50, on Amazon preferably? Just want hassle-free delivery to Ireland, no parcel motel etc. First seven I tried after searching through the results are not deliverable to Ireland.

    I got these, use them pretty much every day. Battery life could be a little longer, but otherwise they are great.

    I've been following this thread

    So of all the "earbud" type ones that were bought - would you recommend your purchases - do they work if your phone is in your pocket if you've going for a walk

    or should I just get either the anker or taotronic ones - are they more reliable overall? which would be the better of the two?

    (still being seduced by the carry case of an earbud, but i don't want a sh*te pair that are a bit snazzy looking instead of a decent bluetooth wired ones)

    I presume Soundcore and Anker are the same company?

    was going to buy the anker ones and then it said "newer version available" but it's coming up as soundcore.

    I just want to make sure before I buy.

    Think I'll give them a whirl

    The creative outlier have been mentioned before and i would highly recommend them over the anker or soundcore ones. I had an earlier version of the anker previously and was constantly charging them. Only €20 at the moment or €24 including dhl delivery in a few days -

    I've been watching the enacfire e19 for awhile amazon.uk had them at £32.99, since all this Britex stuff gone up to £49.99 over night, there a great little ear bud.

    I have this is my basket too
    along with the ankers and the taotronics

    and I can't bring myself to pull the trigger on any of them, lol

    because secretly I want the in-ear earbud types. But after having a really sh*te pair (my own fault for buying a pair from lidl) I'm now afraid to try a different pair.

    Do you have them yourself - do they pass the pocket test, lol :D

    These are also on my radar, I've got an over ear pair of creatives for home and they are great. So I'd have no problem trying their in-ears

    I've a few different sets of in ear Bluetooth earbuds and the best of the lot are the q12 by soundpeats, bought off amazon.

    I use them daily, cycling running gym etc, great sound and decent range.

    No more than 20 quid with shipping.

    I've gone with these and I can invest in a pair of earbuds at a later date

    thanks a million :D

    Still no sign of the i10s. Starting to get worried. Picked regular shipping by mistake. Actually wanted express but ticked the wrong box when ordering. Not sure when I'm gonna see them! :confused:

    I actually went and checked my order there now. Hasn't even dispatched!! :confused:

    Noticed I hadn't confirmed my email address too. That hardly makes a difference does it? They took payment and everything! No questions asked.

    Dispatched this morning so obviously, it was an email confirmation thing. Only spotted the email last night. :rolleyes:

    If been delivered from china by regular shipping, It can take 6 to 8 weeks for stuff to get delivered here, An post are know to put cheap post from China in cage and sort through it only when it suits them.

    I'm still waiting on 2 out of 5 items from 11/11, but I have had something from Black Friday delivered already.

    There is thread dedicated to stuff coming from china.

    Back on the i10 TWS, if you have problems pairing them, the solution is to drain the battery completely, recharge and they should work again.

    I got these https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Siroflo-HV-358-Pro-Wireless-Earphones-Waterproof-IPX4-Bluetooth-Earbuds-Music-with-Microphone-Mic-for-Smartphone/32892665174.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.446d4c4dBK2ah8

    To be honest they are great, I wear one going to sleep and I'll wake up 8 hours later and they still have charge. The little charging box is handy too and they are pretty comfy as they sit in your ear.

    I’ve been using these neckband sennheiser headphones for the last number of years

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-PCX95-Lightweight-Neckband-Headphone-Black/dp/B00DR5PP96

    I’ve been looking into getting a second pair but sennheiser don’t seem to make them anymore. Any recommendations for something similar? Main selling points would be earbud+neckband type as I find them very secure for running

    The PMX 686 would be similar in style to those (and have dropped loads in price). But have the plate like in ear piece, instead of the cup, wired too.
    The CX Sport, would have the cup, but not the rubber head/neckband. They have the band that can be tightened and would be worn on the neck. The CX7.00 too.

    Can't remember where I read it, but I think the battery life on them is poor. Or it drops from 75% to 15% in minutes. I can't remember the exact wording, but there was an issue with battery life that put me off getting them.

    They are on flash sale at €59.99 on Amazon Germany, but don't ship to Ireland. Mailboxde.com consolidate, but even without that, shipping should be fairly cheap. Not sure about their new prices, but would be less than €10 last year.

    https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07GWVPYHN

    They may also go on sale on UK amazon.

    Big booboo from me so! Feck! I might order again and go express. Will use the pair I ordered previously myself perhaps!

    Thank You!

    Ordered the i10 TWS from the link provided a couple pages back. Used the free shipping option and they arrived yesterday. Took two weeks to arrive for me.
    Impressed so far, paired easily and sound quality isn't bad.

    Thanks for that. They look good. Do they work well on calls with an android, I've a oneplus 6t? I lost my bose wired headphones and looking at the creative or the oneplus bullets.

    Anyone looking for the TWS's i10 version of the airpods be careful of a clone of the clone which is knocking about.

    Four or five of the Chinese shops on Moore St had what appeared to be the TWS i10 in their windows on Saturday and seen lots buying some.

    I foolishly just bought a pair thinking there wouldn't be two different versions of the TWS i10...... well, there is, these ones are the i10 'Max' version and by 'Max' I think they meant 'Minimum' as they're crap.

    They sound alright I guess but most importantly the video audio sync issues are there (as they are with all the TWS so far bar the i10).

    I did manage to get a refund though but doubt many would be successful in doing so.

    I got a pair of the i10’s delivered on Saturday. Only two weeks from date of shipping, which was surprising.

    What was not too surprising was that they don’t fit me :( my ear holes are to large. Also the left and right channels are switched. :confused: and when you place them on a wireless charging pad you need to place them just right or they won’t charge.

    I got these to see if they will stay in. If not, they fit my wife’s ears perfectly :rolleyes:

    Usually, wireless over ear headphones come with a 3.5mm cable for connecting to devices without bluetooth.
    A couple more, also worth checking out

    Monoprice 8323 with Bluetooth (not sure if any left in stock in Europe, I didn't look very hard) - https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-rechargeable-Bluetooth-Headphones-Smartphone/dp/B0783GX57G

    Edited:

    Also the Jabra Move are on sale on Amazon at the minute - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Jabra-Move-Wireless-Bluetooth-Headphones-Black/dp/B00NHSFWG4/

    They launched at £80/€90 last month, so not sure how long they'll be on sale, presumably to get them noticed.
    Decent reviews at a higher price.
