The designs of most Bluetooth headphones on the market now leaves me wanting. Man are they pretty ugly.

I really love the $79 ear plug / ear buds Apple makes. These guys:

Fantastic bass response and hate to say it, but these are far better at noise reduction than any cup headphones, because they PLUG your ears. Why more people don't love these I have no idea.

So I want to keep my ear buds. So I need a Bluetooth adapter! No biggie. When I want to listen to music or a podcast on my WATCH, I plan on using this little guy:

It's really tiny, has Bluetooth 4.0, and the range is ridiculous, far far more than I'll ever need.

Can you still use the headphone cable controls - I love my pair, but use the new apple ones more as you can hear through them, but when I don't want noise I find my triangle case and get the in ear ones out
 
i tried the apple headphones (the $79 ones) and wasn't impressed. i actually think the regular apple earpods (the $29 ones) sound better, and they're a winner for the price.
