Hello folks,
I am looking to finally delve into bluetooth earbuds for when I excersise.

I am currently using yurbuds and amd pretty happy with them. Their bluetooth set gets a lower rating than their corded varieties though (though they aren't out of the question still). Going to add a list of criteria from most important to least (though everything on the list does still matter to me). Maybe some of you can recommend me something.

1. Durability: I fully realize that gym buds are going to get beat, drenched, and will likely eventually fail. I end up getting a new pair around every year with the yurbuds. Since these will be over $100, presumably, I'd like something that lasts at least that long.

2. No earloop: can;t stand it. Not an option/ It's the main reason I swear by yurbuds.

3. At least 5 hours of battery. Is that asking a lot? I think that's reasonable. That lets me get at least two good workous in before I charge it. I'd like charge every day, but if I forget once I don't want to be without tunes

4. Sound quality: if they're going to sound awful, I'd rather chuck them. I know things are relative, but I did mention I am ok with the yurbuds and they are certainly not king of soundquality.

These were only $39.99 on Best Buy about a week ago. I love Skullcandy, and have had great luck with them staying in my awkward shaped ears.
 
Yeah nvm those ones. Searched for some better ones and found this. Looks pretty good, think I'll go to the store and try/buy it tomorrow. http://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/sma-lg-tone-pro-bluetooth-stereo-headset/#reviews


I actually own a pair of those, you may want to invest in some ear buds tips that fit in the channel of your ear (forget the actual name for that part) because the ones that come with it constantly fall out of your ears while running or laying back on the workout bench. They sound great though but again they don't stay put very well, at least not for me.

Thanks for the input. Do you have any specific earbud tips you can recommend that stay in the ears better in case these dont?

Also, I can I use these with my macbook air?
