Headphones

I like the wireless (bluetooth) powerbeats. And they come in pink

I have both the wired and BT YurBuds. Once you figure out how to use the "twist lock" feature they stay in very well. I also find them comfortable, but everyone is different. For some, this is a negative, but for me the main reason I got the YurBuds is that they do allow ambient sound to come through. To me, this is very important, particularly when cycling. As for sound quality, not bad. Are they as good as my high-end audiophile headphones? No, but they are better than Apple earbuds, and as I mainly listen to audio books when working out it is not much of an issue.

I have the Bluetooth Beats wireless headphones, they are made for sports and exercise. I love them, sound great and stay put.

Just bought these two weeks ago. They stay in which I find most ear bud styles do not.

those are now on my Christmas list

Over the ear works best for me. I wear something similar to this that's also sony brand, but is open on one end.

With all of the headphones I've had I've replaced the tips with comply foam tips. You compress them and put them in the ear so they expand and add isolation. It also helps them to stay in the ear when running.

Also I love the wireless headphones as well now that I have them. The wires always use to bother me.

Does it matter which wireless headphones you get for the foam tips?

I need to get a blue tooth headphone because I'm tired of cable issues while running, but I want to make sure I can get the foamy ear things to fit them because I love those....

Thanks in advance.

Sorry to take so long to reply. Their website has a feature where you could look up the compatibility with the headphones if you need. I just love the foam tips though. I have them on all my headphones.

I also have Beats Bluetooth, but the longer I've had them the more dissatisfied I have become with them. I'm currently shopping for a new pair, but I'm awfully picky.

Bluetooth, nothing else and no worries about annoyance.....plus if you use your phone the bluetooth work as mic/hearing device.

When you use a bluetooth headset, is there a chance that someone running along the same path/near you, will pick up "your" music in their own bluetooth headset?

No. They will only pair to one device at a time.

Good to know, Thank you.

You're answering a question I was going to ask. Does anyone else have other options for headphones that let more ambient sound to pass through? When I'm out biking I don't want to block the sound too much. I've ridden up on way too many joggers/other bikers who can't hear a thing and are clueless that someone is quickly catching them. Not to mention traffic noise... I'd rather hear a car horn than feel an impact myself.

Whatever works best for you through trying out various brands.
I've tried many, wired and none, large to small, expensive to cheap,. Surprisingly, what works best for me is what my husband won on an auction site for free. And even on the site they only cost .99 cents. It's the Gummy brand JVC headphones. Only thing that stays in my ears without ever falling out with the best sound quality. There are others with better quality, but that's the best one that never slips out and has been going strong for years.
Just try out different ones and see what you like.
