Hey guys,

I have done some searching on here, and there are some info, but nothing too much to be honest

I am looking at, the plantronics backbeat go 2, but I have heard that the Bass response is the let down of these and the battery life also is a let down at around the 4hr mark. However I dont workout for more anywhere near that, so thats not an issue.

I guess my question is, what are you all using and what are your thoughts?

    I tried to go the bluetooth route, but in the end I went with sony walkman headset. Mine holds 2gb mp3's, is very light and has a rechargeable lithium battery that lasts about 6 hours and uses usb to charge. Only Con i have is it doesnt have a fm radio.

    I use a Jabra Clipper, which is a tiny Bluetooth receiver (rechargeable via USB) that you connect your headphones to. That way, your phone doesn't have to be worn on your body - so if you're working out in the gym the phone can be a few feet away from where you are, and it won't get in the way of your lifts. Then, you can still use your favourite headphones or earbuds with it, and not compromise sound quality.

    The problem I had with the bluetooth headphones is I do alot of running and i culdnt find a comfortable strao to carry my iphone. They all kept slipping down my arms or legs, and if tight, they were cutting off circulation. Whats great about the sony walkman headset is is all in one and has a adjustable ear band that holds it very snug to your head/ears. Barely know its there.

    check out the crossfit video. The bluebud x buds have a second strap that you can tighten up. Because they are bluetooth, you can have your phone in your pocked or on your belt or anywwhere else so your armband isn't causing you discomfort.

    Ok, that looks like what I need. Even more so as I could likely mount it into a semi waterproof setup for when I go kayaking. Shorten up a set of headphone wires short enough to clip on my hat/headband, and it is all good.
