Bluetooth headphones for running

[imagineer]

No, it's not a New Year's Resolution, but I started (back in October) working out again.     For cardio, I have an elliptical and a treadmill located in a 3 season room off one end of the house and I alternate them each day (keeps my post-middle age knees happy).     Both machines are mind-numbingly boring to use, so I put a TV in the room to help make the 30 minutes each morning a little less boring.   The problem is I get up at 5am to workout, and don't want to disturb the rest of the family still sleeping.

 

Does anyone out there have experience with, or can make a recommendation for bluetooth earbuds made for running?   I'm fairly certain I can get a bluetooth transmitter for the TV.

jaybird headphones are supposed to be pretty good, but you pay for them. Supposed to fit great and have good sound quality which may not matter for TV. Earbuds falling out blows   .

I bought a pair of Rev jam 300's. Work well and can be bought on the cheap.

I use them when I'm walking on the treadmill, sitting at my desk, and out on the bike. They do well in those purposes for me.

The only downside I have, which I don't use too often is the calling feature. Specifically the microphone. If and when I take calls with the headphones in i usually have to pull the right earbud out and hold the microphone for people to be able to hear me.

whatever model skull candy has. They should be pretty cheap and pretty good.

I have a pair and bought 2 as gifts.  Use them for working out 4-6 days a week.  Every now and again on deals.kinja.com they have a coupon code that makes them $17 ish.  Adjustable for different ear types and sound good enough.

I got this for Christmas.   http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WE1QYX0?keywords=lg%20hbs%20760&qid=1452092659&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1  Which is the newer version of this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FO0IHMY?keywords=lg%20hbs%20760&qid=1452092659&ref_=sr_1_4&sr=8-4

 

 

The 750 has almost 4000 mostly positive reviews. I really like mine. I don't run (fast walker) but there are lots of reviews from runners who really like them. If you are looking for a wireless option you may want to check them out.

I use these... Online reviews are only ok. I've found them to work really well. I was running last summer and had them connected to my phone via Bluetooth and never have had any problems. They sound fine. I'd recommend them.

I ended up with a set of fitness earbuds from J-Lab.    They're not ones that I would have selected (a little chunky), but Mrs. Imagineer heard me whine about needing a set so she found and online deal and ordered them to surprise me.

So far, they sound great, but don't stay in all that well.  Hopefully, using the smaller cushions provided will make the fit better.     I'm really looking forward to using them skiing.
