Is it really going to be an issue often enough to be worth the money? Or do you fancy Bluetooth headphones anyways?


Oh and I wonder how long it'll take for TP to start on this thread.

If I was just dipping my toes I'd try these
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-Headp...dp/B016KEO7M6/
Now £20 isn't going to buy the best in the world, but I trust Anker to not make complete crap.

Personally I'm saving for Beats X, the W1 chip is supposed to be incredibly good and I like the look of them.

Costco are doing some at the moment for £40 and I doubt you will get much better for the price especially if they are sold by Costco

I bought my mum some Sennheiser mm450-x ...way out of your budget I know but what I will say is even these don't compensate for the loss of sound quality over Bluetooth. I'm not a fan of A2DP which to me sounds like a 128kbit MP3 (which it is I suppose).

Based on that I think I'd be looking for something that makes use of Apple's aptX / W1 thingy (or whatever they call it LOL). Which is supposed to replace Bluetooth.

If it's only for listening to while you're in bed, maybe you could kill 2 birds with one stone or even 3 and buy a docking station, so you'll be able to charge it, listen to music via normal headphones via a jack plug so have better quality and for those moments when you don't need to use headphones you have speakers to blare your music out of. I bought one for around the £70 mark for my lad as he loves his music and has an Ipod, it's basically a portable sound system for him and he can take it anywhere and has a set of head phones so as not to subject the rest of the world to whatever it is he's listening to and he can play is games too.

Fantastic thing for what it cost, souns pretty good on it's own too and has a built in radio, cant remember the make of it at the moment, something begining with 'A' I think possibly ALBA but google is your friend.
