best sport bluetooth headphones

looking for suggestions on blue tooth head phones to wear while working out.

specifically for jumping rope.

I wanted to get some 'sport-ear bud' type ones that sorta clip over your ear, thought they would stay on the best.

however, most of the reviews i read compain about connectivity issues if the device is put in the users pocket, and that it needs to be as close to the headphones as, say, an arm band in order to work propperly.

That seems 100% rediculous to me. whats the point of going wireless if it ultimately means you need to have the two devices closer together then you would if they had wires?

i'd really like to be able to set my phone down on a table and go jump rope with my head phones on, apparently for that i have to look outside of 'sport' or 'fitness' advertized bluetooth head phones into the more just plain listen to music, over the ear headphones.

they can pair up to 30 ft or more. that perfect, plus i find them much more comfortable, tho i've never broke a sweet in a pair lol.

I'm thinking of going over the ear and just hoping that i get a pair that will stay on well and not be destroyed by me sweeting in them.

So far i'm leaning towards these

but thats mostly because i'm thinking 'outdoor tech' might make them a little more sweat resistant... but its really just the name of the company lol

open to suggestions

    I've got an earlier release of these:

    http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-S10-HD-Bluetooth-Stereo-Headset/dp/B004QWOSLK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1369157347&sr=8-2&keywords=Motorola+S10-HD+Bluetooth+Stereo+Headphone

    Got them a couple years back and they are still working great. Sweat proof and I have walked a good 20 to 25 feet away from my phone and have never lost connection. A lot of the dropped connection problems have more to do with Blue tooth radio in different phones then it does with the actual head phones. (I have used both HTC EVO 4G and, currently, the Samsung Note II with wonderful results)

    Good luck!

    Invest in a shuffle alot easier to clip to what ever and get some good headphones I like Bose IE2 but thats just my 2 cents.

    how are they at staying you your head though?

    things don't stay on well bouncing up and down jumping rope, not sure if these would be better or worse then the classic over the ear style.

    I honestly couldn't tell you as far as jumping rope goes, but I have worn them running, mountain biking, hiking, etc... and never a problem. These do go over your ears. The big wide part with the Motorola symbol actually rests on the back of your neck. I don't think they are going to go anywhere. They grip on pretty good. (Some people do not like the feel, but I find them to be quite comfortable once you get used to them) Here's a youtube review of it. http://youtu.be/S7xVIhUge5M

    There is a S11 now too, I think, so maybe look at that model too.

    HTH...

    EDIT... To add another link. This guy really likes them. LOL... http://youtu.be/6btthcBrj7k
