Looking for some true wireless earphones for the gym and running. I’d like decent audio quality (not tinny), small size and ideally below £80. What have you got/what do you recommend?

These seem to be rated very highly, although just over budget

One major consideration for running / cycling is wind reduction in software. True wireless earphones tend to have a large surface area and wind friction creates some very loud hissing noises that drown the audio. Sony WF-1000 series is excellent in this regard as it actually has a "wind reduction" mode. The latest mark4 model is beyond your budget, but the outgoing mark3 is going at £94 on amazon, even cheaper 2nd hand. They are large buds so best to go with foam tips for extra security.

edit: I would add that these are best in class in terms of true wireless earphones audio quality if you like a balance to warm sound profile in your music

Great suggestions all, thanks a lot! Might see if there are any more over the next couple of days, then have a big bargain hunt this weekend. So far the Sonys sound the most technically promising, but the rose gold isn’t as appealing as the Ear (1)s

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
