My old bluetooth headphones appear to be shot and they are bulky by today's standards anyway. I ran a search of the boards and didn't find anything recent. Tech changes so quickly.

What are you using? BTW, I'll be using them with an android phone.

TIA.

    I've had these about 2 weeks and love them more than anything else I've worn. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B073151N42/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Thanks for the replies. I may go out at lunch today and see if I can look at any of these in person.

    I use Skullcandy blue tooth headphones and they work really well with my android phone. No problem with interference from other devices.

    I found powerbeats on clearance. I need some that go over my ear as I can't keep the earbuds in while running.

    Same here. Have the one with the neck band. Beats having the cable stick on my sweating neck. Plus almost 9 hour battery life!

    I love my Plantronics Backbeat Fit headphones. Great sound, not noise cancelling, charge lasts 7-8 hours, recharges quickly, stays in ears great, etc. Here's an example from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Plantronics-BackBeat-Fit-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B01I0VIMK0

    Honestly, I cannot remember where I read it, but someone suggested just buying clearance headphones from TJ Maxx. I had been doing a bunch of research, wanted Bluetooth headphones for lifting in the gym, I knew I wanted over ear type, and was struggling with finding something I liked. So I just took the advice from above and found some $10 clearance headphones from TJ Maxx- and they work just fine for my needs, I don't mind getting them dirty/sweaty, and I won't be out a lot of money if they are lost or stolen. Call quality is kind of *kitten*, but I don't care too much because I rarely answer the phone while working out.

    I am pretty cheap though and would not describe myself as an audiophile, so YMMV. But I am very happy with my decision.
