Sports bluetooth headphones?

[leemarkadams]

Hello all,

Am thinking of spending some cash on a new set of headphones for the gym and seen these:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00OYSHDV8/ref...

Any other suggestions for up to that price that are bluetooth sports type headphones, so I can use my mobile to stream Spotify etc whilst in the gym etc.

Thanks

Lee

Jaybird Bluebuds - I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again. Wear them running every other day. will easily last a couple of hours if not more on a charge.

X2 is the latest I think, mine are just the X.

Sony SBH80's. I'm on my third pair. Amazing sound, good battery (around 7 hours), water-resistant (actually worn mine in shower), they use the aptX codec too so improved sound, and they're only about £70. I've not found a pair of bluetooth in-ears as good.

+1 for the Jaybird bluebuds
I've had mine for a year or so, they're great. Good quality sound and easy to use
Use mine every day at the gym, charge them once a week
The range is good too; a couple of times I've left my i-pod on a running machine, and gone off somewhere else, with no loss of signal

One way to find out

I can also highly recommend these tips - much more comfy than the ear fins.

I use these for running, as do a few people in my running circle. Perfectly fine if you get the right size buds and ear pieces, of which they come with several.

very rarely fall out, and for the price difference I can certainly put up with once or twice in an hour run!

For £16 they are bloody excellent and fantastic value. Used them in the gym today (no running involved), had to readjust them three times over the 2hrs, I think I can live with that

Issue I find is I want to make calls with them also so the above have no mic so not an option. My jaber ear peace is ten years old I still use it to make calls its fine an once adjuted stays in all day. So I suspect the jaber headphone will be good too

I've had 2 pairs - one was returned as they didn't hold charge at all after about a week. 2nd were returned with the same problem. There are quite a few similar complaints out there. Needless to say I don't have jabra anymore.

Thanks the the advice and have just ordered a set of these to try:

Not expecting them to set the world alight but for 10 quid ...

They do have a built in mic so you can make calls with them. I've answered calls with them whilst running and the person on the other end was none the wiser.

Except for the heavy breathing

Just gone for the same thanks to this thread - looks like pretty much the same tech as the 16 quid ones, so thought they'd be worth a punt!

[Ultuous]

Received the above today and pretty chuffed with them - tried them down the gym earlier, stayed in my ears well, bass response was pretty decent, mid/ highs may have been a little 'muddy' during busy passages but really surpassed my expectations and couldn't complain for the money - just hope they last!

Mine will take a while longer to get to Colombia!

I wonder how the cheaper SBH70s work out.

Although having got the bug for some wireless headphones and having a browse I came across the Motorola Buds. Similar style to the SBH70s, but they can be had ridiculously cheap. £15.

May as well go for it ... the price is silly.
