Bluetooth Workout Headphones?

Dubesta11

I have been using very inexpensive Audio Technica wired earbuds that honestly sound quite good for the price with a mostly balanced sound stage. At the gym, the wires usually get in the way and more importantly, my new phone doesn't have a headphone jack so I am left without music most of the time because I forgot my adapter. What are the recommended style Bluetooth headphones for working out? They have to sound good and work fairly good too. I would be willing to spend around $50, but the price can fluctuate depending on what is recommended. I am mainly looking for something that will stay on while I run.

I have been using a pair of Jaybird headphones for years and love them. I run six days a week, do weights, and other activities in them with no issues. They / or had? not sure a lifetime sweat warranty so they are designed for working out.

 

I cant speak to the newest version but I am sure they are good as well. They are about 150 a set, but in my opinion worth every penny.

Jaybird X2. Used one pair. Sound quality top notch. It won't fall out of your ear no matter what. 

And I lost it a few months ago....

 

Edit: if you have extra money to spare. Apple AirPods. It works great with iPhone. 

People who bought it all said great things about it. 

It is not perfect. But, again, a lot of people recommend it after bought it themselves. 

If it is not broken, let's fix till it is.

These ones? https://www.amazon.com/Jaybird-Sport-Wireless-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B013HSW4OG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1491583341&sr=8-2&keywords=jaybird

 

How does the way it fits in your ear work? Does the plastic piece hold it in well?

I have tried airpods and they suck compared to cheap headphones. Apple tends to sell cheap and overpriced products because apple fanatics will buy anything from them.

those are the ones that I have and they stay in great. The plastic pieces are adjustable and sometimes you have to readjust but once they are in, they sit great and dont move.

Jaybird X3 or the Bose Soundsport wireless. I haven't really tried the Bose for workouts but only tried it at a Bose store I can say that it's sound quality is superb IMO. The jaybird for me is the best for sound isolation and all around headphones due to it's versatility in ways of wearing it. The sound quality is good too the CSR is fine but sometimes they don't respond that fast. I don't know why but maybe its because of different time zones.
