anyone had any experience with the anker ones? at 16 quid it's hard to not consider...but I'm worried there is no mechanism to keep it in place....

I brought these ones,only worn them once, so can give you little to no feedback, they are the same brand as my GF’s so hoping they are half decent

I just got some mpow ones as cheap option. They’re decent.

I've been using the anker ones on the turbo recently. Decent enough sound and they come with three bud sizes and three "hook" sizes. I only use them for an hour or so at a time, so can't comment on battery life, but seems fine.

how does it stay in your ear?

i find that i need things to be wrapped around my ear for them to stay in securely...

apologies, this link should work

mpow ones, going jogging for the first time with them today so will report back.

Chose those ones, as i wear glasses so didn't really want any ones that hooked over your ears.

The do a version with a collar if you’re worried. But they stay fine.

Bought a pair of RHA MA600's about 14 months ago on the advice on someone on here. Thanks whoever it was! Last week the cable frayed and one of the ears died. A quick chat with customer care and I'm sitting here listening to a brand new pair MA650's. 10/10 customer service would recommend.

If you wanted to double the price you could get Comply memory foam tips and they would keep them in securely but price.

I won't go back to the silicon ones. the comply tips are aces.

I've just sent my flares back for a free replacement. they are good
cunts.

boo. they can't replace the cable with remote anymore.

Has anyone tried any waterproof headphones?

Just getting into swimming and would like to try swimming to music.

Bet it was me, I'm forever singing their praises.
Ive also experienced the after sales service, it was excellent.
So good I bought some T10's which are proper noise cancelling and reassuringly weighty and tunable which is nice.

What would someone be prepared to pay for a pair of B&O H8 Bluetooth noise cancelling headphones that are two months old - just surplus to requirements as I’m no longer commuting on public transport

Open to sensible offers - I paid £349

I lost my se425s (idiot) and replaced them with 215s. Honestly can’t tell then difference. Glad i didnt spend more again

Can somebody please recommend some plug-type headphones that

• have a rubber-like plug (or foam / whatever)
  
• keep outside noise (neighbours arguing etc.) out as good as possible
  
• are comfortbale enough to wear long periods of time working / sleeping
  
• don't break the bank (sound quality is not important, will be used for podcasts etc.)
  
  

Thanks!

I’ve worn these on 2-hour turbo sessions comfortably, and able to listen to the podcast/movie/music fine even with the turbo fan noise. Not sure I’d sleep in them, but they’re cheap.

Pretty much the only earbuds I’ve found comfortable for sleeping are the Bose quietcomfort 20, which are ten times the price of the Ankers. But they make flying much more enjoyable...

Thank you for the feedback.
Looking for a non-bluetooth headphone though..

Maybe the entry-level Shures? Been years since I had a pair, but the noise isolation was excellent.

These ones

Will look into these, thanks!

can 2nd the sure ones, I found them v good guttedI left them on a plane

Whichever you go for, adding a foam Comply tip will keep the noise out a lot more.

Cool, thank you both!

AIAIAI TMA-2 modular headphones: amazing.

I bought a pair of BeatsX (please don't judge me) and have problems charging them via a powerbank.
The red LED starts blinking for about 15s after plugging in and then goes off again. They charge properly with a wall charger or on my laptop though. Does anyone else have this issue? Powerbank is a RAVPower 20000mAh
