bluetooth headphones

Plenty of BT and noise cancelling headphones about but it depends on how much you want to pay and what sort of quality you are expecting or wanting depending on what you'll be listening to. Audiophile quality for classical music, Rap music or shoot em up films and speech, they all have characteristics that make one better than another depending on what you want to listen too.

My wife has a set from 7-day shop that cost £25 (Noise cancelling and BT) and they are not bad and she is quite happy to sit with them on for several hours at a time.

I've got a set of Soundcore Q30(BT and NC) that cost  me around £65 which are a bit better and get good reviews. I find them more than adequate when I'm sitting on a train blocking out the sound of other passengers and listen to my music from my phone.

My bro has some Sony WH-CH720n which are now down to around £80 at the moment which are a lot lighter and I was very impressed with. I'd be very tempted if I was after another set of 'phones

Then going up a bit there are Sony WH-100xm4 which get very good reviews for around £200 or Bose quiet comforts at any anywhere between £200 and £450 depending on which model. Another bro has a pair of Bose and although they are very nice and sound good, I cant justify spending that much.

The best idea is to tootle off to somewhere like Richer Sounds or Joh Lewis and have a listen to a few to see how they sound and how comfy they are, especially for wearing them for long periods.

Thank you very much for all your advice,I will take a look at the ones you suggested.I'm not well enough at present to tootle anywhere ! but I do like the fact you get reviews on them on places like Amazon,and can return them if need be.

Trouble is not everyone is of the same opinion and like and want different things.Comfort and ease of setting up are probably the most important to me.
Thanks again for your time.

My DW recently bought one of these, and seems quite happy with it.

Any of the ear bud type will do. You can Samsung or Apple or go down the route of specialists like Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds etc etc etc.
Will you need noise cancelling?
What's your budget?
There are many at different budgets, just pump Bluetooth ear buds into Amazon...
