Dear Audiophiles, what are the best value (ideally under £100) wireless headphones out there?

I have an old Jabra 75 from work for making phone calls that I occasionally use to listen to music. The sound quality is great but they go for £300 or so online.

I was looking to buy a new pair of headphones. I bought the Soundcore Q20i for £34. Obviously, the sound quality was worse, the bass was *amazing* but they sounded a little tinny compared to the Jabra that has spoilt me so Im looking to buy a better pair, not quite up to to the Jabra but as close as possible to it.

I've bought several Chinese earphones in the past that match the big boys in terms of sound quality for a fraction of the price. The Jabra 75 is excellent but I wouldn't say its £300 excellent. The Soundcore Q20i is amazing for £34 and I would recommend them to anyone any day of the week.

There must be a no-name pair of headphones out there for under £100 that sounds as as good if not better than the big boys on the whole sound range costing several times more.

I just wanted to ask the audiophiles out there for their recommendations for the best bang for buck wireless headphones out there.

Edit: I just ran the Ultra Deep Bass sound test on both earphones (Youtube music). Wow, that was ear opening! The £34 Soundcore sounds insane. The £300 Jabras were weedier. The vocals and overall range on the Jabra is much more crisp and accurate but the bass on the Soundcore is very impressive

    I appreciate the link but im looking for personal opinions. Ive used cheap Chinese earbuds under £30 that were as good as some Apple gear. I bought them on a recommendation from HUKD and I was well impressed.

    There has got to be hidden gems out there that people are just stumbled upon and really love.

    I have to say Im still mulling keeping the Soundcore given how amazing the bass is. It really brings new life to my existing tracks.

    I'm on my second pair of Huawei and love them, only on second pair cos i left first pair in hotel. The ones im on now are huawei freebuds 5i and they are class. if you want over ear ones, best i have found for under 100 bucks are Sony CN720n and love them, noise cancellation is great.

    I see the Sony's on Amazon for £89. I've never been let down buy Sony audio before so I'd definitely go for those.

    Per chance, which Huawei pair do you have and where might one find them for a good price? Ideally Amazon as I can return if theyre not great
