Bluetooth Earphones for Podcasts

IdLikeToBeATree on 06/12/2015 - 23:28

My new kitten loves chewing earphone cables and destroyed my apple earpods cable, repaired the cable and he chewed them again and they can't be saved.

Does anyone know of any bluetooth earphones with no cables between the two ear pieces, just good enough quality to listen to podcasts, and that aren't noise blocking ones that push into your ear (find this really uncomfortable when I'm in bed)

Thanks

    Heaps of over the ear style BT headphones
    You're not going to get earbud style without at least some sort of cable or headband to join the 2 bits together.
    Any of them will be sufficient to listen to podcasts. So grab a pair you like the look of from AliExpress.

      Over ears are super uncomfortable in bed :(

      Do you know if there any like the apple earpod/open style, they are just so much more comfortable, all the bluetooth ones I can find seem to be the noise blocking ones

        Motorola MOTOROKR S9 Bluetooth Active Headphones (possibly obsoleted, but there are still Chinese knockoffs)
        Sony SBH70 bluetooth neckband headphones
        Plantronics BackBeat Fit bluetooth neckband headphones
        But they're all ridiculously expensive in my opinion.

        Flip though here.

          Ah expensive is not good, thanks scubacoles I'll take a look through them and see if I can find anything, otherwise might just buy 10 pairs of knockoff earpods

    I spent $18 on these around the neck style for podcasts and highly recommend.

    I don't have a cat but I imagine it would be hard to get at the cable as it's short and flat and concealed around the back of the neck.

    The buds are near identical to the Bose Soundtrue style which are perfect for me as I can't put up with the generic style that wedge in to the ear canal. These are ultra comfortable yet wont fall out.

    Charging performance is on par with higher priced versions - get 6-8 hours run time, plug into USB on PC at work for an hour to recharge.
