Bluetooth Earphones?

Post by Magnolia »

Does anyone have any bluetooth earphones? If so, how well do they work, period? And how well do they work with the Get Running app?

Anyone using them with the iPhone 4?

I was doing a little research and am looking specifically at some by JayBird. But they are SO expensive. :o

While on the subject of accessories... Anyone have an armband that fits an iPhone 4 WITHOUT having to first remove whatever case you have on your phone normally? I am currently using a nifty one from TuneBelt, but I have to disassemble my Otterbox case every.single.time.I.run. :roll:

Thanks much!!

Hi, I've just found out about iPod/iPhone hats, you can get them on eBay and the speakers are inside the hat, great idea, I find my earphones keep falling out while running.

Hi Magnolia, i got these headphones off Ebay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SENNHEISER-SPORT- ... 2a0b1a1215

It was really bugging me the apple ones falling out of my ears, i tried some "sports" ones from argos for around £8 and they wern't much better, but these are spot on. They never move in your ears and are pretty comfy too :D

Hope it helps

Thanks siduff and Lisa! I will check both of those out!

Strangely, only ONE of my earbuds falls out. They are the standard Apple ones. Maybe I have mis-shapen ears. :?

Siduff,

I ended up ordering the Sennheiser PMX 80 earphones you recommended. I used them last night for my FIRST 25 minute run. I love them!! They didn't come with the cord clip though, and that bummed me out, but I use an armband that has a little velcro flap I can wind the extra cord under. So no big deal really. It was so cold, I had to wear a hat, and I wondered if it would rub on the earphones and create ambient noise. No issues though. Love them!! They felt so secure around my ears. Thanks much!
