So my friend is looking for some good earbuds that have bluetooth. It doesn't have to be any specific brand. He wants one that doesn't fall out as easily. So when he does sports and stuff it won't come off. His budget is under $200 CAD.

I'm a bit surprised when I checked the model numbers on both of them, They are the same...  BBX1MB right...?

idk why the names are different..

No the one at the apple store is BBX1SW

 

Either way wired IEMs will sound much better at that same price. Wireless is like 3x more expensive for the same thing. 

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

I always work out with wired iems. I don't think it's that big of a deal but w/e. If you must go wireless then go for it. Just know that you are paying a premium for it.
