any recommendations for 'true wireless' in ears? I'm wondering if any on the budget-ish end are really worth trying....

Proper break this time
Just bought a pair of vava (taotronic) moov28s. I think these and the ankers upthread, and probably some others are pretty much the same. Far as I worked out the models work like this:
Taotronic 17.99 pair; long battery life (9hrs) but sdc
Taotronic 18.99: 7hr battery but aptx
Taotronic 24.99: ‘upgraded’, 8hr battery aptx
Vava moov28 25.99: 9hr battery aptx
I think the vava may be a little bulkier, though they’re still pretty comfortable. Long battery was important for me. I’m kind of surprised by the short battery life on some of the collar types. Vava looks like everything is in the bud, taotronic it may be in the controller, don’t have it. But either way you’d think sticking them in a collar could give you at least double.
Sound is good enough. I also have shure se215s which are, unsurprisingly, a lot better. But also less convenient... they’re better than default apple earbuds, but I also hate that kind of earphone, so biased. I don’t have other cheap wired phones for comparison.

I think they are fantastic. 3 hr battery life, they come in a case which will charge them 4 times, the sound is great as well.
If you don't mind the wait for postage they are a lot cheaper here.

Jabra Move Wireless Bluetooth On-Ear Headphones - Black https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00NHSFWG4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_O4OzCbJKGZVJZ
I've got these. I think they were 30 quid in sale maybe a year ago.
8 hours battery. But if they are switched on and not playing they don't seem to use any battery. I've often used them all day at work, accidently leave them switched on over night and they're still going in the morning.
No battery deterioration yet, a year in.
Comes with a standard jack cable if you ever need such things.
Sound OK.

The one annoyance I've found with wireless headphones is the over keen alert to the power running low.

I convinced work to buy me a pair of these They are pretty good. Having to get used to the sound though, they are only BT4.1 and the headphones let in all sorts out outside noise, but they are ok for the office, and they mean that I can listen to tunes, if a call comes in it reduces the volume, works as a headset then music comes back when the annoying disturbing person goes away and I can go back to listening to tunes again.
They are not as good as my Blitzwolfs though, the sound on those is much better. The logitechs don't fold up either so not really all that convenient but good for the office.

Do you reckon you can lie down with these on without them being massively uncomfortable? My mum wants some to wear listening to the radio in bed. I know you can get some which are like headbands but she wouldn’t like anything around her head like that.

How about wireless in ear ones? Without any wires? I saw a pair for £50 and want to get them for the same reason.

Ooh interesting! She currently uses plug in ones I think so those are a real possibility.
BristolEcho thanks for suggestion but I don’t think she likes in ear things. She’s a bit weird and fussy (she’s 87 tho so I guess she’s entitled to be!)

Yes you can, wiskey does with hers, they are tiny so only have a 3hr battery life and an annoying beep when they are running out of battery so not great to fall asleep to.
I find that just sticking the phone under the pillow is fine

Another set to add to the collection, I've been sent a pair of these to review: https://www.amazon.co.uk/AfterShokz-Conduction-Headphones-Bluetooth-Sweatproof-grey/dp/B075FMK7SD
Never heard of the company before, and these are overly expensive to the pairs I've purchased myself, so will be interesting to tell the difference with sound and comfort. Especially as it looks like they don't even go in your ear. Anyone ever heard of AfterShokz?

On the cheaper side of things, I got these last October https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00U5WV250 - they're still at the lower price of £49.99 (instead of £90). I use them for jogging, they keep my ears warm, which is great because my ears hurt like hell when it's cold. Noise cancelling isn't great but sound quality isn't bad at all. A good one for outdoors, and cheapo.

I've had those for almost a year, they fit me better than any in ear headphones I've ever had - only headphones I've has which don't even fall out when I run.
As they're a right fit they block out a lot of outside noise so the sound quality seems great (even though it probably isn't *actually* great, it's not starting from a point of clashing so much with background noise).
Battery isn't too bad, gets a few hours no problems .
For twenty quid they are a fantastic buy IMHO
Might get these for summer time running.

this is no longer a place of honour
Bought a pair of these TaoTronics about a month back from Amazon - paid £43 when they were in a sale - love them.
The ANC is nearly as good as my wired Bose noise cancelling headphones. Heavier and hotter, though. The battery life is brilliant. Wish they felt more robust.
That Android Central review states:
and I agree with all that - I find my bose ones more comfy- dunno what the issue is with micro usb- that's the same charger as my phone so no worries (for me). The plastics creak a bit and I'm careful with them as a result, use the carry case etc. Well worth what I paid. Dunno if I would have paid £80 for them - I'd be more likely to go with a more well known brand name - mainly because marketing works I imagine.

Have you tried bone conduction ones? I use aftershoks.
Decent sound and more chance of avoiding being run over
