I am sick of buying $20 earbuds that stop working after 6 months, and sick of headphone cables esp when traveling. Anybody have a good set of Bluetooth headphones to recommend?
 
have these, they're pretty decent. i would not get the charging case.

I have those ones as well. They have worked okay for about 4 months now. Sometimes the first five minutes I hear "out of range" a couple of times, but it goes away. They don't ever fall out of my ears, which is good.

I haven't had that happen even once. Only thing it doesn't have is a companion app or anything to tell you battery level. I probably use them 5-6 hours a week, when I try to make it 2 weeks, they run out of juice about halfway through, so that's 8 hours or so of battery life. Ditto on rarely falling out.
 
Thanks for the ideas. Does anyone have a pair of on-ear/over the ear bluetooth 'phones (non earbud) that they can recommend? I want to evaluate several options.

That is odd, because mine will tell me..battery is low.
 
I tried those soundpeats, but they didn't stay in my ears when running and I ended up returning them. Again, not sure how you intend to use these, 923.

Did you figure out how to use those weird in-ear supports? They work great once you get them in right.

I did, I think those in-ear buds just don't fit my ears. I have those tight, sweet, virginal ear canals.
 
yeah i love my BT headphones for everything. I use them the most when i'm cooking and doing yardwork. cords are an annoying necessary evil

Yes, I get that, but only when it's low. It would be nice if I could use an app on the phone to know that they're at 50% or whatever.

When it is connected to your phone you should see a battery bar in the top right hand corner. It won't give you a percentage, a good idea where you are. At least on the iPhone.
