I've got a pair that I use for the gym, they were only about 15 quid off Amazon.

They do everything they need to though.
Play music, change volume, skip tracks. They can even call the last number you dialled, as I found out when instead of skipping a couple of tracks I rang a bouncy castle hire company!

Decent sound quality and about a 20m range(ish).

Don't pay hundreds!!!

I have a set of on-ear bluetooth Sony headphones which I paid £35 for and they are really good.
Apple tax is around 30%, no where near 3 times.

Ross check out some of the Anker earphones on Amazon. Top company, great products and very cheap.

I've had a few too Rossgo.
The main difference (apart from brand profit) is that the battery life can be quite limited. However when these things were first introduced they were very expensive & more bulky. Most (even the cheapest it seems) have now developed into highly useable & useful bits of kit.
IMO you should seriously consider going for cheap, and simply think of them as disposable. That way if they are lost or broken you won't be too bothered.
Besides, if you go for a high priced branded version, the rechargeable & not replaceable internal battery has a finite life anyway.
Don't ask me how I came to ^ that conclusion. (headbang)

We're on about different things. In terms of quality and performance I would expect the cost of purchase to be around 3x less.

Sennheisser are the opposite, I'd pay more for their stuff than they charge and the same with Sony. My headphones are easily worth double in terms of quality and battery life

32ml for £4.50? This stuff I'm getting is a bargain :D

200ml with a cloth for £5.99

Thanks though, I didn't think about that

I buy it in the big bottles when J&S have a sale on and top a smaller sprayer up from that, or buy online.

Another screen for the Versys. This looks to be the Goldilocks between the OEM and the last one I bought. I'll fit it at the weekend and find out.

That is the problem with ebay, no real way to be sure before they land on the doorstep.
