Hubby wants some for Christmas. The Yurbuds version, on top of being REALLY expensive, get bad reviews. The pair he found was cheaper but also got bad reviews.

Are there any blue tooth earbuds that work well and would work for running?

These are the two we've looked at:

    I have these and I LOVE them:

    Mine were bought from Verizon (a gift) but they're the exact same and this link is cheaper! They work so well as headphones and as a phone headset too. They pair flawlessly with my phone (Samsung Galaxy 3S), the sound quality is great, and they don't bounce around much while I run! I'll never go back to corded headphones, I hate the noise they make as the cord bounces. The charge lasts a while on these, and when you do need to charge it, it's just a standard cell phone microUSB so if you're like me you probably have chargers like that all over your house!

    I have bought myself a pair of Arriva Leo, when I purchased them they didn't have a lot of reviews but I bought them anyway and I love them. I also have a pair of reg YurBuds so I took those and put them on the wireless headphones and they stay put and are very comfortable.

    Here is the link for them, hopefully you like them. http://www.arriva.com/leo/

    Those look pretty cool! So you put Yurbuds ear buds on them? Were the ones they came with not comfortable?

    I have the LG tone and love them. They have really long range too, so work well in the gym as well as running. I leave my phone in my bag at the gym and have full range of the gym. Sound quality is also good. I would recommend the older version as there have been some complaints that the newer version has some neat new features, but range isn't as good. The older are cheaper as well and you can still get them on Amazon (for like $40-50).

    Yurbuds ear buds are the only thing that I have found that is comfortable for my ears, I am very picky and sometimes told I am high maintenance LOL. They do come with something very similar and I didn't mind them but I just LOVE my Yurbuds. It is the best of both worlds in my opinion.
