I purchased these Mpow's and received them last week. They were on sale for $22 so I figured for such a low price I might as well give them a chance.

I wasn't expecting much but they have been amazing!!! I can take calls on them, listen to music through my watch or phone, and they fit great in my ear! I did some yard work over the weekend and wore them outside for 5 hours. I could not ask for a better low price Bluetooth headset.

Awesome! I happened to order the exact same pair last night from Amazon pretty much for the same reason as you (on sale), I'm glad I didn't buy a dud. :D
 
PowerBeats??

Any chances that PowerBeats will be updated this summer? Anyone know if there is a yearly update on Beats products?
 
I feel the same way. I finally ended up getting this
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BYUJL2I/ref=twister_B00C1DS60U?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Throw out the included earbuds, and plug in the Bose. It's light enough that you can clip it onto the earphone wire. For me, it's the perfect solution until Bose comes out with wireless earphones.

Dude, thanks for this. I just purchased the Jabra Play. Nothing compares to my Bose and I can't mess around with all these crappy Bluetooth options.

AW - Which earphones

Wondering which BT headphones you guys use/recommend with your apple watch for running, cycling and gym?

I currently use wired 'neckband' type - either connected to my iphone or to Gym equipment.
 
Take a look at these on Amazon. Bluedio HT(Shooting Brake) wireless bluetooth 4.1 stereo headphones (Black).

For under £20 they are excellent.
 
my MPOW headset came and they are awful sound quality, feel cheap and are very clunky.

I know they are cheap/budget but these are pretty poor lol, returning and getting Jaybird Bluebuds X instead lol

I got a set of Soundpeats in post so maybe they will be better!
 
If you answer a call on the Apple Watch does it automatically go through the bluetooth headphones?
 
Got the Jabra Sports wireless+...

Gr8 set...nice fit...sound very good...

People hardly even notice you're wearing them...
 
bought Jaybirds monday , returned Friday. Ordered Powerbeats 2 .
jaybirds dont feel premium, sound was fine , light weight,

hurt my ear , tried diffrent size tip , start sweating slip right out . just not for my ear. they felt cheap tho. easy sync, long battery they just didnt work for me. i like the over the ear buds so switch to beats
 
If only they made a good wireless version of the Bose ie2 or Soundtrue. The sound, fit and design is hands down better than any other earbud I've ever tried, and I've tried many. I may have to look at the Beats 2 to use with my watch to see how they stack up.

So why on earth does Bose not have Bluetooth in ear sport earphones yet? Makes no sense....

Powerbeats wireless 2 by beats

beats suck dude. haven't you seen videos about it, and plus its common sense. Like on a video i saw was that once you earn a reputation you can charge a product how much you want and people will still buy it.

i do own the studio wireless and they are pretty cool but i bought them because of the company but the sound sucks. like for $400 you can buy really good headphones that don't have a big reputation but its sound is amazing
 
I went with the power beats 2 and they are great for music. Don't get them to listen to video or games. There's a delay. But it's amazing with music.

I use the Jaybird bluebuds X with the comply cushion. Love 'em and wear them for hours on end.

I ordered that same combo early this morning. I have fairly discerning ears so I hope they live up to expectations -- which were based on Amazon reviews.

I bought the Mpow Cheetah headsets, and while they're amazing for their price, they aren't made for music. Good enough for spoken word/podcasts, but I feel sorry for any song that is squeezed through these.

I completely disagree. While I'm not sitting back, drinking a bourbon and smoking a cigar while critically listening to music on them, they absolutely are just fine for working out and other misc tasks.

I think they take their time to get the quality right. They were late in coming out with over-the-ear Bluetooth headset, too, but when it finally came out, it was excellent.

1. The Audio quality is just not there yet.

2. It's hard to make things to their quality standards (Shure, Klipsch, Audio Technica, et al also don't have bluetooth earphones and there is a good reason for that)

3. Battery life concerns. While over the ear headphone are bigger they also have space for larger batteries.earphone on the other hand are much smaller and unless someone learn how to bend laws of physics, battery life will be a pain.

Good Bluetooth headsets
