Looking to purchase a decent pair of wireless earphones and would appreciate any recommendations please.

Earphones need to be fully wireless. Preferably would like them to be noise cancelling for use on flights, but not absolutely necessary. Need to be really comfortable (for long use). Main use would be watching videos on phone, but also need them to be very secure fit for use when running.

Can i have all the above?, or will i need to sacrifice noise cancellation for a more secure sports fit?

Happy to spend up to $500 for the right pair.

Anyone able to assist with some recommendations please?

I ended up running two paris. QC35's for work/flights etc and a cheap pair of skull candy for outdoors.

Couldn't convince myself to beat up on the bose at that price point. And the Skullcandy's have been put through torture and are still going strong

You say earphones and talk about running so I assume you're looking for in ears vs over ears.

Both the Sony WF-1000XM3s or Airpods Pro will do what you need. Which you prefer would depend on a number of things, Apple vs Android and which you prefer the sound and fit of. Best to try them out in store.

I have the WF1000XM3s and am very happy with them. I use them with an iPhone without issue.

If you're after in-ears, I'd go with AirPods Pro.

Over-ears? Bose QC35

I'd go with light earbuds for running, my wife uses Xiaomi Airdots and likes them. Wait for a sale.

For watching videos and on flights get something better. Sony and Audio Technica are my favorite brands for this type of thing.

Airpod Pro's are a real favourite in our home, but they are starting to crackle and may be going back to Apple.

It's fair to say that they are heavily used and the purchase has not been regretted whatsoever.
