Choosing Wireless Inear Phone

I’d like some advice on buying earphones for my iPhone and iPad mini and I’m toying with the idea of inear phones
There are a few musts. The first and most important one is that they should be wireless/Bluetooth. The second is cost I wouldn’t want to go above £60 and looking at prices this would seem to be the lower end of a reasonably pair
What do I want them for? I like radio so when I’m outside I’d like to be able to listen into my favourite station. I’ve a small amount of music, but nothing to write home about and some language programs. So I don’t really need something to get full value from the London orchestra!
What is puzzling me is how to select a pair that will fit, what type of sound they produce, and how to choose a pair. If I going a shop I can try on a standard set of headphones but with inear phones I’m sure there would be health concerns. So if I do decide to go down that road what do I do about fitting?
I’d like to hear your comments on inear phones in particular but feel free to widen your comments. And of course any recommendations.

look on amazon, what hifi, etc. Sound is subjective, testing them is impossible , do you have a wired pair of over ear/inear ones , then look for the same make - no guarantee though. Plus the ability to be wireless/bluetooth means extra digital sound processing(I guess) , which may not appeal to your ears. I use cheap earbuds , wired, with different sized pads one of which stay in my ugly lugs, since they are for convenience not Hi-Fi when out and about.
Can't recommend any makes since they are used purely for convenience:cool:
