[MERGED] Best Bluetooth Headphones [for Apple Watch]

My concern is the 6 hour battery life tho on those beats headphones.

I prefer the apple style tho. Too bad apple doesn't make wireless headphones like the apple ones you get with the iPhone.

I'm trying to find headphones for the :apple:watch. Anyone in the know?

I was looking at apples website for bluetooth headsets and they're really expensive. I looked them up on amazon and they don't get very good reviews at all.

I have a pair of these and use them at work, while I sleep and running. They easily hide under a polo shirt collar.

I bought these last month. Work surprisingly well. I'm no audiophile either and I only use them for podcasts but they sound good to me. The battery seems to last longer than the stated time too.

My only issue was how to secure them in my ears but they have earhooks with them and they've not fallen out for me.

My Choice

I have the BlueAnt Pump..

Very comfortable, waterproof, and they will not move at all. Very secure
Battery Life, great so far

Sound Quality- It's ok, not up there prob with some of the others. Still above average

It works for me!
 
Does anyone know anything about DinoTwin T2? They have a lifetime guarantee against sweat and use BT 4.0. I'm looking to permanently replace my wired headphones (a quality set of Audio Technica in-ears that I got about 5 years ago) with a Bluetooth set. The popular opinion seems to be split between Jaybirds and Powerbeats 2, but I'm curious about these.

For some reason I feel like if I buy powerbeats 2 then the powerbeats 3 will be out. What's their upgrade cycle like?
 
If you like in in-ear Bose tips this might be your answer. I been using them for about 4 weeks. So far so good. Make sure you read the manual so you can change the tone

They fit well, you have to read the reviews. It appears some of the bad ones were from another type of headphone

My thoughts exactly as they've been out for some time now.. Unlike the Solo 2 which came out just before the acquisition announcement.

Thinking about holding off until I see a new model, or Bose releases a competitor product. I'm realizing I really don't need them anyway. I know you can workout with the watch and no phone but I'm not a long distance runner I don't need that functionality just because it sounds cool sometimes I need to stay in touch during workouts

Also worth noting, those jaybirds can be had on Amazon around 130 - almost half the price.

Beats is usually pretty slow at updating so you'd be safe, plus the powerbeats 2 aren't very old at all
 
would love wireless earpods. I find in ear headphone very uncomfortable and don't like the isolation form the real world.

The Earin headphones look awesome but I would imagine they jam in your ear, thus uncomfortable.

Strange that apple haven't got a solution considering the watch comes with local storage to play music through Bluetooth headphones :/
 
After trying about a half dozen pairs of BT sport headphones, I would recommend the jaybird bluebuds as best overall. However, the price was out of my budget and I decided to go with the Plantronics Back Beat Go 2. The sound quality of the Back Beat 2s isn't far off from the bluebuds, and at half the price it was a no brainier. The battery life per charge on the back beat 2 is supposedly half that of the bluebuds, but I doubt I will ever be working out for 4 hours straight.

I have the LG 730, and now they sit, for trips. I tried, but there is a volume issue when paired with iphones, the lowest volume setting is WAY too loud, even for being on a commuter train, and subway in NYC. Each volume change it too significant. I replaced it with some plantronics with comply earbuds (they do not show a model on their site, but the tsx-500 fight tightly). The plantronics have a much wider range of volume control.
