Need a pair as a stocking filler for my other half. She will only use them occasionally and may well lose them in short order so not worth spending much on!

Any recommendations?

At that price I could get 3 pairs and keep the other two as replacements when they go missing!

Tks, I saw some Sony's at about that price, good to know they are a decent option.

I got myself a first pair of earbuds recently. After doing lots of research I settled on these from Amazon, which I have to say are surprisingly good - Wireless Earbuds, Bluetooth 5.3 Headphones in Ear with HiFi Stereo Deep Bass, 4 ENC Noise Cancelling Mic Wireless Earphones 36H Playtime, Bluetooth Earbuds Dual LED Display, IP7 Waterproof, USB-C https://amzn.eu/d/bYghSIb

Only paid £15 on a special offer!

I bought the same 2 years ago. Very good and up there with the Fruit company.

Beats Flex are good.

Have a neckband too, so she won’t lose them.

Sony WF-C500 were constantly getting great reviews for that price point when I bought mine. 2 years I think I've had them and no issues at all.

I got these as a present last year and they seem to work well enough, although I don't use headphones much as a rule - "noise reducing" rather than "noise cancelling" AIUI, but charging set up works well and quality is good.

As someone who is likely like your missus and loses stuff all the time, I’ve had 3 sets of wireless earbuds as I keep losing one or more of them and now back to my trusty wired earphones.
I knew the likelihood of losing them was great, so always went for cheaper ones, between comfort and sound quality, the best ones were probably the Belkin Soundform.

Tie them together with a piece of string like we used to do with mittens.

The £16 Apple earpod copies arrived this evening and they are fine.

Currently listening to some tunes and they have the touch controls and a very small charging case.

I'm impressed. Thanks to the poster that recommended them, cheers smile

What phone does she have? If an Android phone get any old Chinese buds as suggested. If Apple, splash out a bit for Christmas and get the basic Airpods https://www.argos.co.uk/product/8814322
