I’m looking for opinions on Bluetooth headphones for use during cardio.
I watch videos most times and listen to music a little currently using corded Sony headphones.
I’m not looking for nor do I need top of the line, but I would like decent sound and build quality .
I’ve never had a Bluetooth pair so I’ve nothing to compare anything to.
Anyone use a pair that they’d recommend.

Also anyone used a pair they would recommend I stay away from !

I got some similar to these when I accidentally snagged an ear bud on my last (different brand) pair.
For $40, I've been pleased, mainly use when doing yard work & walking behind the mower.

That's a lightening deal, gives you 2 hours to buy or the price goes up once you click it...

These are the ones I have and I love them. Amazing bass and long run times on a charge.

I went through this recently -- also not having had Bluetooth earbuds before -- and ended up with a set from Plantronics. So far, I'm very pleased with them. I haven't done heavy workouts with them yet, but a good bit of treadmill time without issue.

The OP asked about headphones, not earbuds. Maybe he can clear up what he is looking for.

Either is fine with me.
I’d be more tempted to use earbuds outside of our gym than head phones.
But I’m not close minded to either.
I have to admit I’d not thought about earbuds.
Didn’t think there were that many options.
But the earbuds might be nice when working at the anvil & forge.

When my current earbuds require replacing, I'm going to try a pair of these. Could almost 12k people be wrong?

I have a set of Beats Studio ear phones. They produce very good full range sound and the over the ear format drowns out all but the loudest ambient sound. I think you could use them at the range, although I've not tried that. I'll use them sometimes to listen to TV when I don't want to disturb my wife especially when watching a 'Shoot em up' movie.

I appreciate the help & info.
I’m going to give the “lightning deal” ear buds a try.
Hoping they blockout the surrounding noise & hold a charge long enough for a movie.

Sadly, I haven't had much luck with Bluetooth earbuds (I gave up on headphones years ago) for use in high-energy activity. I find they come loose, or sometimes one cuts out, or some annoying issue that requires me to reset one thing or another.

For running and exercise, I've found a wired pair of Yurbuds to be the thing. They guarantee that they will not fall out during exercise. I've tested this and found it to be true. The quality of the sound is superior (disclaimer: I've had my pair for years. When they first came out they had a "red" pair that Yurbuds claimed was the equivalent of Bose). But they're not Bluetooth.

For travel and for use in conference calls, I use a pair of Bose QC20 noise cancelling earphones. They are awesome! I call them my "kid cancelling" travel earbuds! Bose makes a Bluetooth version, which I haven't tried. At $300, they aren't begging me to just try them out.

So, my choices have thus far been: wear something that sounds good and won't come loose while I exercise, or wear something noise-cancelling. I've tried several Bluetooth (Air Buds by Crazybaby and Jaybird X3) but they've all come up short.

Everything I've read says Apple's Airpods are the best thing going in Bluetooth sound reproduction. I see a lot of people wearing them, so they might be my next experiment.

If you mean the ones I posted, I've had no issue with 1-2 hours of constant use (Spotify mostly).
