Good morning all.
I am after some advice if possible. I've been looking for some wireless headphones for when I go out running or do HIIT sessions. I have narrowed my search down to two and wanted to know if anyone had any advice for which ones to choose? Maybe someone has an alternative that they think is better. I am not looking to spend a lot of money, I'm looking more towards the £30-£50 bracket. 

The two are....

Thank you, any help would be massively appreciated.

I would advise against wearing headphones while running. Run through countryside and you get to hear the animals and birds, or maybe the yobs on motorbikes tearing up the land. And then there is the safety aspect. 

But if you won’t see sense (1), not that I’m making a subjective judgement here, do be aware that headphones are rather subjective. I had some Sennheisers designed for sports and the band was so tight it was painful. Clearly it was fine for other people. I had some other Sennheisers which were comfy, and an upgraded version of my favourite pair, that had bitten the dust. The sound quality was way too bass heavy. That is the current trend, not one I like. 

Surely the Amazon reviews are as good a guide as any short of using them. My post isn’t much use I’m afraid! 
(1) I was joking, of course.

I’ve got some wireless rose gold headphones (they come in black and white too) from The Range for £12.99. I’ve used them for walking and dancing so they may be of use.

May i suggest when running, just make use of one earphone so you can still hear traffic etc
