Looking to buy a pair, any recommendations? There's all-sorts of weird brands in Amazon as well as the usual brands. I've typically stuck with Phillips and Sony headphones over the years, but I'm not sure how they fair in Bluetooth capability.

Price range: £50-£100 is as far as I'm willing to go.

I listen to Rock/punk/metal predominantly, and love a bit of bass.

Any recommendations or advice welcome. I'd go to the shops, but, you know, Space AIDS.

I've got an expensive Plantronics/Poly set with the "hairband" that are pretty high quality and work extremely well as a microphone as well for taking calls. Good noise cancellation for wondering around London (not that I'm doing much of that at the moment). I've also got the second gen Galaxy buds that came free with my phone that are decentish sound quality and rubbish for microphone.

Just buy a £30 pair off Amazon. Hard to go wrong. Mpow are a reasonable budget brand that I've had success with.

Got some Sennheiser ones for around 100 euros. They last around 4 to 5 hours and sit really comfortably in the ears.

Would recommend.

BeatsX are supposed to be good in that price range, though a little old now. Beats are famous for being bass-y but these aren't too overpowering apparently. I read you get cable noise though, so possibly not good if you plan on jogging in them

Agree with this, for the amount you're looking to spend Sennheisers are a good option.

Just found some Sennheiser CX 7.00BT for £18 on Wish. Sure that's about 75% off. Shipped from Chy-na obviously..

Some sort of sales campaign, so maybe just targetting me...

Jabra are really good. Got a pair of 65t’s a year or so back and they are the only in ear phones that have ever stayed in, felt comfortable and give great sound. Also a great price at the mo as they are heavily pushing the 75’s

Just ordered a set for £20.80 delivered with some code online, mostly cos I'm bored. Will report back in 6 months when they arrive.
