Mmmmm, in that price bracket I'm not sold on the idea... and you in the UK so spoilt for choice! Anyhow, let's us know how that goes....

Cost me £180, so 4k in rands.

I believe the performance updates from model to model have been quite significant, so the Pro's are definitely worthwhile. It's a super competitive price range though, Jabra Elites 75T's, Corsair Outlier Gold's, Sennheiser Momentum 2's, Sony 1000xm3's to name just a few...

The RRP of the Pro's is actually £249 (though a few places have been doing them for £229 recently) so price wise they were cheap.
I bought the Cambridge Audio Melomania 1's about 3 months ago, really good sound but not super comfortable.
The original AirPods with Skinz fitted are comfortable but I found I still tended to have one fall out if listening to music or watching something when in bed.

Those Cambridge earbuds are selling for R3.5k here!! Expensive man!! They under $100 on Amazon!! Fuck, I really like the look of them! Sound quality for me is top priority, followed by battery life, 2 areas they excel. You might have to post me a pair...
I've never really owned a really uncomfortable pair of headphones/earbuds but I've had quite a few pairs where the ear canal can take some hours to get used to the plastics being pressed into it... Took me a while to acclimatize to the Jabra's for example.... I'm not totally blown away by them if I'm being honest.

Returning these and getting the Logitech G635. I have big ears.
My first gen AirPods are still in my drawer (the left one stopped charging). I was going to return them then lockdown happened. Now they're out of warranty.
I'm quite happy with this pair: https://www.takealot.com/huawei-sport-bluetooth-headphones-lite/PLID52090741 (except for the voice prompt that says "Your device is disconnect").

I love my Airpod Pros, so much better than the first gen for comfort and connectivity/responsiveness etc. I use them more than any other piece of tech or kit I have. Not just for music and radio shows, but also sitting at my desk making calls.

Not when they are in. The first ones are a lot longer and straight so protrude quite a bit, while the Pros are short and curved and aren’t so obvious.
