What Bluetooth headphone are you going to use with the watch?

I can't wait to get my hands on the Bragi Dash when they are finally released. These things do everything but cook your breakfast for you. They keep pushing the release back, though. This is the second most anticipated wearable I've been waiting for behind the Apple Watch. These two belong together.

I could'nt resistI have been using the Jaybird Bluebud x for over a year now. My girl bought them for me as a surprise because sweat from how much I run was killing off headphones every 3-5 months for the last 6 years. The Bluebuds have a lifetime sweat warranty and they stay in place always no matter what. 7 hour batt life. I wear them daily and love them. Not sure I would have spent the 160 on them or however much they are, but I love them and would buy them for myself now based on my own experience. I use them for lots of Netflix on my phone when on the bike at the gym too, and no lip sync issues.
After using them for a month, I bought my girl the cheaper jaybirds.. the 100 dollar ones. Little less battery life and a different design, but she runs as much as i do and she loves them. i think hers are called the jaybird freedom sprint.
I also have a set of the Plantronics that look similar to my jaybirds.. and the work well. I don't like the gummy stay in place pieces near as much tho and am constantly adjusting when running with them.

Get a Bluetooth adapter like the Sony SBH-50 and use whatever headphones you love. At least that way when the battery dies you still just plug them in..... And when your preferences for headphones change, you can easily adapt them.
My 2 cents. I have a pair of custom in-ear monitors I wouldn't trade for the world and there's no way to get a Bluetooth version. Adapter works great though. Plus you can clip it on in different places for better mic reception.

I backed this as well and can't wait till it's released. Meanwhile I just can't make up my mind to buy a cheap Bluetooth headphone now or wait for the Bragi Dash. I hate that it keeps getting delayed
Thanks for the tip here. This is perfect for me as I already own 2 sets of headphones (wired) that cost over $100 each.
Ordered one of these. ✋#

I agree! I think it's been pushed back to September now. In the meantime, I did get the Soundpeats Qy7. It's not for the audiophile, but it does the job. It sounds a little cloggy when you have them in. They aren't the most comfortable (there's those plastic edges that stick out and can weigh down the earbuds a bit), but you also don't have to sink in a lot of cash for them. It will hold you over until the Dash arrives.
So you are currently using the Powerbeats2 with an iPhone? How does it work/feel/sound/etc for normal non-sport usage? While I ordered this specifically to pair with Apple Watch at the gym, I'd also like to use as a replacement for my normal listening - such as at work or walking to get lunch, etc.
Do you feel these are good for multiple listening scenarios? Thx.
Just ordered a pair in white! I'm a bit skeptical with bluetooth headphones, as I prefer nicer sound, but these will be my backup headphones when I don't want to take my nicer stuff out.
the soundpeats were $20 a couple weeks ago. i missed it then but ill wait a couple weeks to see if it's discounted again.

I tried these but the sound was so terrible. There is like 0 bass and I like bass heavy headphones. The solo beats had much better sound.
These are one of if not best Bluetooth headphones out on the market today. Very well balanced sounding headphones, i love them. When set up or properly fitted for your ears, the sound quality is top notch.
