Looking for a good pair of over ear wireless headphones

Any recommendations with these would be great, thanks

Lightweight and stays stuck to your head during long walks or runs outdoors
Trying not to go over 50 euros
Not too bulky in size
Sounds great for the the money
iPhone/Bluetooth compatible
Good charge life
Preferably a brand known for great headphones. I'm not sure my budget will get me a pair of Bose or similar, but you never know

No way you'll get a named brand and what you're looking for €50 unless you get lucky on Adverts.

What's the minimum you think?

Have you looked at the Skullcandy range? I had the Hesh 3 before and they were pretty decent.

I bought these for watching the TV, not expecting much but was blown away by just how good they are:

JVC S20BT Wireless Bluetooth On Ear Headphones Foldable with Built-In Remote and Mic for Hands Free Call Handling - Black

Yes, only €15. :eek:

But, a really nice, comfy fit without being bulky, and the battery seems to last forever.

What have you got to lose? You can return them if you don't like them..

Alternatively, I've ordered these Skullcandy ones as a gift for my daughter for Christmas, as she really loves skullcandy headphones.

These usually last me about 9 months before the arm breaks.

Bluetooth, not bulky, and are flexible enough to fold up to put into your pocket. Have gone though two of them. Would get about 10-12 hours out of them. Would usually listen to heavy metal/trad/techo on them, and found them to be grand. Not the best at max volume, though.

The one bad thing is that they're absolutely crap for talking to people, though, as even in a small room it sounds like you're in a barn

Used them going to and from work.

My advice to anyone who is interested in getting a good pair of headphones but doesn't have too much money is to just save up a bit extra and get anything but that cheap crap you get on Amazon and the likes. By the time you replace them after breaking more than once you could have bought a nice set that would have lasted you years.
