    Sennheiser HD4.40s for £50 from their outlet
    http://outlet.se-shop.de/shops/detail.php?product_id=3296

    I got the 4.50 noise cancelling version of them on Amazon for £90 last week I'm very impressed with them.

    Tried on the Sony XM3's in Curry's last week jebus the noise cancelling on them is amazing. The Sennheisers I got are decent probably block out 90% you won't hear anything with music playing but the XM3's even with no music playing was nearly silent and the instore music and aircon were actually very loud. XM2 offers are still temping me but my budget is blown for this year. I'll hold out for the XM3 offers next year!

    I got these and they're pretty decent

    I did have to use addresspal though, you can't get them shipped here from amazon due to the battery restriction that's why you cant even parcel motel them.

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


  • Registered Users Posts: 793 ✭✭✭ImARebel


    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)

    It's letting me add payment and go to final buy now screen. I ain't testing any further than that!


  • Registered Users Posts: 793 ✭✭✭ImARebel


    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,211 ✭✭✭✭Suckit


    Yeah, would go for the creative over the Soundcore/Anker ones too.

    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

    DHL are quick 3-5 from Hong Kong of China with custom charges attached some seller pay the import feed of your buying phones as a gesture of good will but I odknt like android

    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:

    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.

    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,398 ✭✭✭xtal191


    Anyone ever try the Oneplus Wireless Bullets?

    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!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 540 ✭✭✭SmashingPilot


    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.

    The sound is brilliant I love mine did you have to pay import fees

    I did with DHL


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,423 ✭✭✭✭Outlaw Pete


    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.




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,034 ✭✭✭mad muffin


    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:

    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.

    Do you have a guesstimate as to how much actual functional listening time you get from them? Says 3 hours in the link, is that about right?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 643 ✭✭✭john_doe.


    Was wondering what are good for running?
    Always struggled to get earphones that stayed in while running.

    The ear hook phones I've found the best, but it seems that design hasn't been adapted much for wireless.

    Pretty sure you can get both the outer and inner earhooks for wireless (sports) earphones, not as easy for TWS earphones though. Maybe the i10's as they are modelled on the airpods and they have earhook, I think they are around €10.
    JedX TWS (DX own brand I think), S800 TWS amd Awei T2.
    There are a few with inner earhook.

    And a load with the neck band.

    I couldn't find any outer hooks for Airpods/i10 TWS, it maybe hard to get them for TWS earbuds.

    But you could get wireless earbuds such as this with hooks:-

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bluetooth-Headphones-Soundcore-SweatGuard-Technology-Black/dp/B07B9R67WR/ref=dp_ob_title_wld

    or a cheaper older 4.1 model:-

    Inner Earhooks for example, maybe other cheaper versions available.

    Ya , I was curious to find such a lack of outer ear hooks.

    Inner hooks seems to have take over. The best earhooks I had were the Philips ones , I used to buy multiple pairs at time. They were great ,secure for running but didn't last very long.

    Other out hooks like the anker are too thin I find they don't secure enough , they are common design, but no where as secure as old Philips ones. Philps latched around ear. Sony do something like it in wireless the MDR
