Wireless headphones

One of the positives as it were of the lockdown, has been the daily walks. I've taken to listening to audiobooks and podcasts. I'm in need of new headphones, and really fancy Bluetooth / wireless ones.

This is unchartered territory for me, and wondering if anyone within the shaving community has any experience or recommendations for a reasonably priced set?

I'm also intrigued to see that there are cheek bone vibration units. Such as the AfterSkoz. Really like the idea of them - not sure what the quality will be like.

Many thanks.
 
I have some Plantronics Bluetooth Backbeat headphones that are coming up for 7 years old and are still going strong (the model I have has been superseded by a newer version). They're great. The only downside is that I bought them thinking they were British but they're American (MIC).
 
I've used this company RHA for years from corded to wireless and with a three year warranty, you can't go wrong.
The odd problem I did have was resolved without any drama, they actually sent out a replacement and upgrade as they no longer did the ones I had.
I've just noticed that don't sell some of the models on their website but you can get them from the major retailers. They also have a 50% off the entire range offer which runs out on Monday. If you're interested pm me for the code.

 
I recently bought a set of HUAWEI FreeBuds 3 they are true wireless, hold good sound decent base and highs.
I also have a set of OnePlus bullets 2 these are round the neck but wireless buds, they are also really good.
My kids bought me a few years ago Dylan Levin noise canceling, they were the best noise canceling in ear headphones I have ever had, amazing, and unfortunately I broke them in February.
 
After almost 2 years of good use, my cheap wireless headphones have met their maker.

Curious whether anyone has experience of Bone Conduction Headphones? Such as Shokz........The technology seems dead clever, just not sure on the quality. I use headphones for walking and an occasional run. They need to be waterproof, and I have realised I don't really get on with the ear bud types.
 
I Would say its down to 2 things
1 Budget
2 In ear or over ear.
The first picture is Bose In ear sport the new version
& i have the the very ones in the second picture.

In a nut shell they are superb for walking, running & most sports and they won’t fall out.
if ever one fell out you can track if on your phone & find it.
Iv had mine two years and rate them highly
2 of my colleagues that run have also bought them through my recommendation.
Also once you put them back in the case they recharge up to around 5 times.
Cheaper versions are available elsewhere but the sound quality on these are superb

I have JLab Studio Pro Headphones. They give you 50+ hours of playtime. $40 USD.

I have tried JLab's ear buds, but have found them as finicky as Skull Candy or any other earbuds other than my Apples Air Pods. Buds have a much shorter playtime, before needing to go back into the case plus I am always troubleshooting problems with them.
 
I’ve have a pair of the Sony too and they are excellent though I’ve just bought a pair of AirPods Pro as I prefer buds that sit a bit more flush on the ears. They aren’t a patch on the Sony for sound quality though. They are going on eBay soon if anyone is interested. I’ve the case and original unused buds as I bought some comply tips instead.
