Been looking at a few Bluetooth in-ear models recently (Sony, Sennheiser, Beyer, etc)

Any recommendations?

Definitely under £200... must support aptX - preferably HD

Had these on my list for a while but not tried them. I've an old set of sony ones I quite liked that are similar.
Might not be any good but hot decent reviews in press.

Those cheap ones Chris points to look good value

My son had some.
They sounded very good. You do have to insert the things properly into your ears to get the low end response, but once you do that they sound very balanced.

Both of us are now using wired AKG ones that Samsung supply with their Smartphones.

Thanks for the tips chaps :)

Ended up buying a pair of these:

Only found out afterwards that RHA is a Glasgow based company :lol:

Very good sound - aptX but not HD .... lovely clarity and plenty of bass nonetheless. No dropouts anywhere in the house and very easy to wear and use.

Don't beat the Nuraphones but a damn sight lighter ....

If only the Beoplay E8's from B&O had connection strength, it'd be a 1 horse race
