Comfy earbuds for walking/running

Can anyone recommend some please?

Preferably under £50.

I find Apple earphones comfy (the wired ones) but really fancy something wireless, but not expensive

Thanks

I know this is going to seem like a really asinine question, but does it have to be earbuds?

It is much, much safer to have bone-conducting ones where nothing is in the ear and you can still hear the outside world. Leading brand is Aftershokz, and they start at about the £50 point. I don't run with anything else now.

I was coming on to suggest aftershocz too. Just started using them after continually getting swimmers ear from sweat (sorry) and they are brilliant. Husband converted too!

Just to say though I found the £99 lighter than the cheaper ones

@AuntieStella not at all... thank you for the advice. Just had a quick look at amazon. I like the idea of still being able to hear what's going on around me.

Is sound still good though?

I find that it is

Do you live near a branch of Runners Need - they often have display ones you can try on in-store (don't know if that's survived covid though, as an item potentially touched by many people - OTOH they're fairly water-resistant so should be easy to clean off)

Gotta be aftershocks

If aftershocks can work with your budget, go with them.
I've got very small fussy ears and they are by far the most comfortable earphones plus also work well as a headset.

I use a Bluetooth headband as I cannot abide having anything in my ears and having ambient sound blocked.
