Good wireless headphones for jogging?

WannaBLoaded

I used to run a lot years ago and remember the pain and suffering headphones can cause so i am thinking of going wireless this time.

Looking on sports direct at the moment because i need some running trainers and they have some Karrimor blue tooth headphones?

They're 25 squids though :eek:

But it seems that that is a fairly competitive price? Probably a crap make but its just a badge isn't it.

I went the other way and paid more for mine.
Reviews seemed patchy on the cheaper ones.

Flawless sync.
Very good sound quality
Waterproof ( i wear them in the shower at the gym)
great dual mics for calls.

Wouldnt touch Karrimor ones.

We are looking at these,

Aftershockz

(although the wired version which are cheaper)

They don't obstruct your hearing so are safer.

I tried some out the other week and they worked brilliantly, allowing me to hear the music whilst holding a normal volume conversation with someone.

Is this mse or waitrose? hahaha.

I just placed an order with sports direct but i removed the headphones, for an extra 20 quid i will probably buy the sony ones suggested. Wireless aren't cheap are they lol. I got 2 hours to think about it yet on amazon if i want them delivered tomo, which i think i do.

Quite please with myself, got some puma running shoes for 29.99 on sports direct , they are selling on other sites for close to 50 quid and they look ok to be fair. Will do for running anyway. Thought i was going to have to spend 60 quid minimum. Prices seem to have come down.

How long do they hold a charge if you just leave them sitting for a few days?

I don't run regularly and I can imagine me finding them with no charge every time I want to use them!

I generally use them every day or two. due to the large neck rest part they seem to have a good battery life.
I have the Sony smart connect on my phone and it usually lists tanby in days.
Charges via micro usb so i tend to charge in the car,at work etc.
So I never really have an issue of low battery.

Thanks.

Not sure whether to risk them or not. I must have weird shaped ear holes as I find most buds just fall out when I'm running. Just read a few reviews on Amazon and a couple have mentioned them falling out when running or the neck piece bouncing up and down. How have you found them in this respect?

I'm pretty broad in the shoulders.
I wear them under my t shirt neck. So it sits there and I dont really notice it.
At work (I assume its design) it fits perfectly under a shirt collar with just the earbuds/wires showing and the remotes just under the collar edge.

I can't do with earpieces, my ears are too small and they always fall out so went for this one more than a year ago:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-SHB4000-10-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B00C1C5WIU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1445521688&sr=8-2&keywords=philips+wireless+headphones+bluetooth

They still work perfectly, sound is good, recharge only every 3 or 4 runs (1 hour + each time), I couldn't fault them and for that price, it's a bargain. I couldn't go go for non bluetooth now.

Right, i ummed and aarged , and bought them just now. Total cost with delivery 56 quid, i've never spent so much on headphones but fancy something a bit special.

On the plus side, i saw an advert that said open an aqua card and get £20 off amazon so thought i would give it a shot and was accepted so total cost is now more like 36 quid provided i do get my amazon voucher!

I always pay credit cards off in full so they wont make a profit out of me. :money:

My running shoes are good too to be fair for 29 quid. Just saw them on amazon for over 40 quid. I made a nice save on them. Bit weird feeling but they are proper running trainers and my firetrap jogging bottoms fit like a glove. I've had a good week of consumerism.
