I got a pair of these at Christmas for jogging. Sound quality is only ok. Great to have no headphone tangle while running but I still find the earbuds falling out occasionally when running.
Still good value at £13 for Bluetooth headphones because there's a big price jump to premium alternatives.

I wear them for running. I found they fell out practically every few minutes, until I swapped them to the over-ear clip (shown below) - photo courtesy of Amazon reviews... not mine!.
I think they're great for the price, and thankfully work with my TomTom Spark watch.

I just went for my second run with these this morning.
They come with 3 sizes of buds, 3 sizes of rubbery things that fit inside your outer ear and 1 set of rigid plastic clips which you hook over your ear like glasses.
After testing all bud sizes and all the different size attachments I found a combination I was happy with (medium buds and rubbery things) and jumping around at home they seemed ok. But once out running I find they do tend to slip out far too easy, even the weight of the cable is enough to pull them out. They never actually fell out because i kept pushing them back in, but tbh sound quality isnt that great anyway so even if you push them in properly or they are half out there's not much difference in SQ.
I think I'll try the over ear clips next time, but when I tested them I found they actually pull the buds out as they want to hold the buds just a little too far out from my ear. Maybe my ears are too flat... :laughing:
Overall, they are worth the money for running, but don't think I'll ever use them for any other purpose as the SQ isn't even as good as a set of £10 Sony wired buds.

I've got a pair of these, they're good headphones. You get different sizes bits to suit your ears so you should be able to get a good fit. Great sound as well. Well worth it at this price!

I'm a fan of anker but the aukey ones are quite good as well, especially for £5.99

I have these. They fall out quite easily and aren't great for high volume but they look nice. Feel sturdy and the magnetic ends are cool.

Yeah. The is my second Bluetooth set of headphones and these suffer from the same issue of falling out when running. I've tried all of the adapters and some are better than others and stay in for longer but all inevitable fall out.

The Aukey ones with pedometer seem like a better deal overall (for £5.99), though they are a bit bulkier. The same ones are $24 in the U.S. so I'm not sure if they just pay more for headphones or if they are just on offer here. £5.99 seems a crazy small amount given that they have APT-X, NFC and some level of noise cancellation.
