Bluetooth Headphones Recommendations
Posted on 5/10/16 at 9:16 am
Posted on 5/10/16 at 9:16 am
Looking for suggestions of Bluetooth headphones to buy.
I have bought a couple different pair under $50 on amazon and both broke within the first three months.
Was considering buying something more expensive to resolve the cheap, breaking every few months issue, talked to a friend that has the Powerbeats and he said they brake every few months as well and has to send them in for a replacement (and I thought those were the best ones on the market)
Does anyone have a recommendation of Bluetooth headphones that are durable?
I don't care much about if the sound and bass are superb. Just something that works, doesn't die after a few months, and can stay in my ears when I run.
TL,DR: Looking for Bluetooth headphones that wrap around your ear, not the big bulky kind that cover your ear. Ones that are durable and won't die after a few months.

I just bought these, so I can't speak for longevity, but they are comfortable running and not bulky like the older models.

What's the sound quality like? Battery life?

$19.99 on Amazon Prime. The best bluetooth wireless noise-cancelling, sweat-proof headphones with a mic for wireless/hands-free calling I've ever put on.
Their fit is unbelievable. I've had ear surgeries when I was younger so cans hurt after awhile-like most folks-and the inner ear fit was always inconsistent.
These do not have any issues with that whatsoever, and the kicker is that they're inexpensive in comparison to what you've paid...

Check out the reviews. You can buy with confidence on these as I'm not the only one singing their praises on Amazon.

They're decent for running. Not going to blow you away, but as good or better than the standard Apple earbuds. Not sure on battery life because I forgot to turn them off the other day and when I put them on yesterday they were dead. But it was about a week between.

Plantronics Backbeat fit
>
Look on amazon...you can usually find them much cheaper there. I got mine for Christmas and use them daily. They are awesome. Very comfortable and have a very wide range on them. I not only wear them for working out, I also wear them when vacuuming my house and can leave my phone in one room and walk around the entire house without the signal cutting out. I've had some other Bluetooth ones and these just blow those out of the water.
They are usually $130 retail...again, look around on Amazon..they frequently are found cheaper(I think my husband got mine for $75).

Do you go on runs with these? How long have you had them for?
Posted on 5/10/16 at 10:23 am to Tiger4life306
I don't go running in mine.....but you can easily run in them and they are not gonna fall out. I wear mine while cycling for 2 plus hours sometimes. Never once feels uncomfortable in my ears and stays in place.

Have hit cardio hard in them with no issue. Also done several TRX workouts that are movement intense with no problems whatsoever. They have a unique ear-fit that's not just in the canal. Check out the pics at the link.

I have these for about a year and they are going strong. Usually get about 8 hours on a charge.

There's a difference between earphones and headphones.

+1 on the plantronics. love em

Have you given any thought to an around-the-neck style?
I have the LG Tone Active and it's great for exercise and running. Unlike other around the neck, this one fits snug around the neck and you can even lay down and they won't fall back. Earbuds stay in the ear during runs.
The other LG ones lay "on" your neck, while the Actives go around it. These are also made to put up with sweat and moisture.
Sounds is surprisingly good too. Bass is punchy. Got them just right with a little EQ tweaking.

+1 on plantronics backbeat fit. I have the exact ones mentioned. Paid 80 on amazon, use them daily for the last 6-8 months and I love them.

I have the JBL Reflect Minis. Love them so far. They are around $100 but I think you can buy the non-reflective ones for cheaper.

I've had these since christmas, work great, no complaints, for $20, can't go wrong. Run or workout in these a couple times a week and don't fall out.

Also bought the Q7's. Ridiculously good. Have used them everyday for about 4 months, sweat all over em when I'm working out and running and no problems, also they had a lot better sound quality than my $60 skull candy headphones
