active/sport bluetooth headphones?

Hello all,

I am in the market for a wireless set of headphones. I have been doing some research on a couple of brands like jaybird, jabra, and motorola. The reviews are always so mixed. I am looking for some input because I keep whacking my chord while I am on the treadmill running for example and down goes my phone and I have to stop. I even lost one of my ear bud pieces the other day because my phone fell and it went flying. Ugh! I was so annoyed because I couldn't find it and had to work out without my music. I work out 100% better with some kind of rhythm motivating me to move.

Anyone have a set they really like?

I am looking for a bluetooth set that has earbuds or something similar. I have smaller ears so that is something I am looking for too. Also, it needs to be sport like...for the sweat. Has anyone had a pair for more than a year? that still works great?

I have been using a pair of jaybird Bluetooth buds for about 9 months now (not quite a year). Fidelity is crystal clear and awesome to listen to while working out. Sounds like i am at a live concert or in the recording studio. The reproduction of the sound is as the artist intended. I primarily use them for running and I sweat profusely. There is a guarantee against sweat damage for life. I like the fact that they integrate with my Dinosaur iPod 2 classic. The only negatives are battery life is only about 2 hours and they are expensive. If your newer iPod or alternative music device has Bluetooth built in then you can save about 150 as you will not require the Bluetooth transmitter.

Thanks fiddle. Jaybird has been my top pick so far. I didn't want to spend that kind of money without seeing what other people think first. I've picked it up quite a few times in best buy and then put them back. Any problems with the fit? or them falling out?

Do not buy the Jabra's. I have a pair that I paid over $100 for and they started having static problems (not radio static - ipod static). Also; these fit over the ear and do not fit inside the ear very well making it hard to hear the music when outside. I called Jabra and they said to just re-boot them and they should be fine but it didn't change a thing. I've still got to get back to them. They are the sport type and are sweat proof. They're great except you can't hear very well and they have static. LOL Oh, and they're also pretty large. Too big really.

No problem at all with fit. it comes with 3 different mold and Ear support sizes. You just pick the size that works for your ear size. They have never fallen out for me and are fairly comfortable. I bought the buds from best buy as well and the transmitter from Amazon.
