Any recommendations on Bluetooth headphones for working out. Prefer the earbud type, but not sure what brand.

I have the Decibullz, I like them. With the custom molding they stay put well. I also use them when I'm mowing on the zero turn with no issue.

I got a set of lg blue tooth earbuds from Sams Club a while back for around $40. Sound quality is decent and they are fine for my workouts
Ive used jaybirds for a while. They are pretty good but I have been lucky and get them when best buy puts them on clearance. May look at other options for full price
I ended up buying some senso brand off Amazon for $30. I have no complaints for the price I paid for them.
I’ll second the jaybirds! I had a pair of beats and let my wife use my discount to get some jaybirds. I instantly regretted that and wished I would have gotten a pair. I eventually ended up with some jaybird and never looked back. Comfort was the key thing for me and the sound is amazing.
I bought a pair of Skullcandy Hesh headphones 3 years ago (earbuds hurt my ears when weightlifting/fall out when running) for $60. I've ran in the rain, thrown them around, etc., and still going strong, holding 10-12 hours on a charge. I've never had bose or $500 beats, so I guess I don't know what I'm missing either as far as sound quality, but I've been content.
I've been using Jaybirds for over a year, at least 4 times a week. As long as you keep them charged up they work well.
I used to be a bit of a headphone freak, i use Grado SR325's at home. But for working out and cycling I have a cheapo pair of iFogz from best buy. They last all day long and I like the little magnet clip. I can roll the cords around and stow it in my pocket or clip it to my collar.

I will only ever buy Powerbeats from Beats for the gym. I have never found a better option after lifting for 7 years. Heed a warning that anything without the retainer piece that slips behind your ear can come out pretty easy if you ever pinch the wire on something while moving around. I like mine to stay put.
Got my son Beats X, they lasted about a year, sent them back, they give us a new pair for 1/2 price. Not impressed. My boss gave me a pair of Klipsch almost two years ago, no problems, battery life is @12 hours, they sound awesome, better than Beats. They are pretty pricey, even more than beats but well worth it IMO. I've also had several other brands that didn't last long LG, JBL, Sony, a lot of the cheap ones only last a few weeks. I'm only talking about the earbud type. I hear several of the ear muff style are great.
I use the Plantronic's backbeat. Last about 6 hours, They used to be around $100 or so dollars when I first bought them, now you can find them for about $50 or so. They sound good and stays put. Has all the features as well as phone.
I really like the Powerbeats. They really stay put. Are comfortable for me and charge seems last a while. Not the cheapest but they go on sale regularly.
I use Skullcandy Method. GET THEM AT BESTBUY WITH THE REPLACEMENT/INSURANCE POLICY! I have gone through 5 pairs in 2.5 years BUT I just swing by Bestbuy and pick up new ones. AND they keep extending the warranty with the new pair. I am not saying these are the greatest earbuds out there but sweat and electronics don't mix well and replacing bose/jaybirds/gucci etc gets expensive quick. ($50 Headphones + $15 Replacement Program) / Time = Cheap Tunes
Try for something with a warranty and watch tech reviews online. Tons of options out there. I used to buy the expensive stuff but I always end up breaking them, so now I just go with what's cheaper for the gym and leave my nice stuff at home.
Bose soundsport earbuds. Get the wireless ones that are connected to each other, not the individual ones. Awesome for lifting, running, rucking, etc. No issue with sweat or comfort.
Be aware that some of the molded ear plugs get loose or gap when pressing your face or getting a solid cheek weld and let a lot of noise in.

The work by bone conduction. I have unilateral hearing loss so these let me hear in stereo again. They take some getting used to cause they make vibration. They are nice for running of biking because you can still hear your surroundings, but that also means in a gym you can hear lots of obnoxious stuff too.

I’ve used jaybirds for a few years. They sound good and battery life seems to be a true 8 hours.
Just recently got some Bose Sound Sports. Sound quality is excellent and they stay put in the ear really well.
I haven’t tracked battery life with them yet.

I tried two different sets of Bluetooth buds and found to be a PITA. Either unpairing or falling out. Recently got some corded refurbished Bose ear buds on EBay and really like them a lot. About $40.
Another vote for Jaybirds. I have the X3s, I think they're on to the X4s now. Spendy (I had a discount code) but really nice headphones. Had mine for about 2 years now, working out at least 6x per week, usually closer to 8 or 9x, and they have always performed flawlessly. Stay in my ears whether I'm jogging, doing sprints, powerlifts, etc. Really like the quality and the way they fit.
