Bluetooth Headphones recommendation?

zoemorn · 01-07-2009, 11:27 AM

Moderator move this to wherever is more fitting if desired. In my mind it falls under "motivational equipment" and thus i post here.

I've a new blackberry that will be used as an mp3 player while i lift to drown out the distractions of my work fitness room.
I'd like to get some decent bluetooth headphones so that i set the phone down and have it wirelessly push the muse to my needing ears and fry my brain.

Having trouble finding much in the way of reviews of this concept, and what i find doesnt appear encouraging, hoped some of you guys are already doing this and might have a recommendation.
one alternative to use what i currently own, would be some product for strapping the expensive blackberry securely to my person but dont know what products they have for doing that either (and then using regular headphones).

thanks, lift on.

If you are going to pay to download your songs to a blackberry and get expensive wireless headphones for it, I would just buy a cheap mp3 player instead. That will give you less to cry about when you acidently drop a weight on it or forget and leave it in when you hop in the pool.

I bought a little Sony music player that acts like a flash drive. Its small and I'm not worried about dropping it, since it's too light. I like using the music through the headphones, so I won't disturb others.
Here is one on ebay for $40. I bought mine for $60. http://cgi.ebay.com/Sony-NWZ-B105F-2...QQcmdZViewItem

I can put songs on my blackberry just as easy as any other MP3 player, so it shouldn't cost anymore. But I did fry my first one when it got literally a drop of water on the track ball. I don't think I'd risk it in the gym. MP3 players are too cheap to risk fing up your phone while you work out.

I like the jaybird.

I haven't used it when I work out, but in the summer it was great when I was riding my bike. It stays on quite well, even when I went over the handlebars and landed right on the top of my head. ouch!

I use it with my Sprint Touch btw.
