Not the Apple ones of any that look remotely similar please but looking for recommendations for some wireless ear-pods. Don't really want to spend more than £50.
Thanks

Genuine question. When did they stop being headphones?

They didn't. Headphones go over your head (they have that band over the top of your head). Earbuds go in your ears

So what are the wire ones that go in your ear but not over your head? Aren't these headphones as well?

Dunno, I've always called them earphones if they go in, rather than over, your ear. Although the industry term appears to be earbuds for the ones that go in your ear.

Fair enough. I think I generally refer them as headphones but that's probably wrong or just habit.

Apple marketing turned earphones into earbuds.
though I guess earbuds are the wireless & rechargeable subset of earphones
edit, I take that last but back. it's a mess. in-ear, over-ear, in-ear, over-ear ... and relax

I got some for £40 in HMV at Bluewater...took my 18 year old missy Flash as a guide.
The playback life is key to the price.
Im not a hifi buff and they suit me. Wouldnt pay more than that.

Nah, these are earbuds. And look! They're wireless! I would call them swabs. I know they are not, but that's how I remember them as a kid. Oh, and my mum used to lick them before cleaning my ears!
