Okay... I'm tempted now to bite the Bluetooth bullet.

I'm doing some treadmill time, trying to shape up and lose some fat. Too many times now I've pulled the headphone cord out of the port on the treadmill, or pulled the buds out of my ear, by getting too far from the panel. I'm constantly getting the cord caught in the weed trimmer handle when out mowing. Ive accepted that it's time to get free of the cord.

So now I'll reverse my previous statement, and say, "I'm ready to look at wireless buds. Whatcha like?"

Edit: Crap. I just realized that with cordless buds I can't plug into the treadmill at the gym and listen to the TVs on the wall. (That was "yuge" tonight, watching the last of the Kavanaugh testimony.)

Been recommended prior: Apple AirPods.

Spendy, but damn well worth it. Nothing comes close. My Taotronics were nice, but didn't last with sweat. Don't waste your money. Buy once...

I have Bose Soundsport Pulse connected buds, but the Bluetooth connection has been unreliable. Can't recommend them at this point.

I have had excellent results with Bose, both the Soundsport where the buds are connected together with a cord and the Soundsport Free which are individual buds, and I use the hell out of them.

Jaybird also makes some really good stuff...

I love my Bose sound sport as well. Use the all the time, but I am hearing nothing but great things about the Apple AirPods.

 
For bluetooth headphones, I got the BeoPlay H4 set, from Bang & Olufsen. They have an amazing sound and work very well with Bluetooth. I originally bought them to use with the Apple TV, but now use them with several other devices (MBP, iPod Touch, desktop Mac). There is a clunky mic built in, and I wouldn't want to try and use that for phone calls, but for pure sound enjoyment, they are great. They claim 19 hours of use on the battery, but I've never stretched it out that far.
 

I very recently received iPods from another forum member via a generous instant karma. They're fantastic.

I have Beats urBeats3 for both my iPhone (personal) and Samsung Galaxy (work). I use the ones for the iPhone at the gym and the ones for Samsung on conference calls and training sessions. The sound quality is good for both music and calls. They include different size ear tips as well as wingtips which really hold them in the ear. Worth the $60 I spent on each pair.

Sixty bucks seems reasonable. I'll take a look at those.
I'll admit I'm a Bose fan, but Bose is expensive!

I think you’ll like them the Beats. I also bought my wife a set and she loves them. I’m always leery about using something like this for business especially with VP’s on the call but I tested them out by calling my wife a few times and they have been flawless.
