 I'll be honest, I find Bluetooth headphones a little annoying sometimes for the obvious reasons. You have to charge them and take the time to pair them and all that. But the one thing that Bluetooth headphones are really great for is working out. They give you the freedom to move around the gym however you want to and you can just stuck your phone in a pocket and forget about it while you're out running. And so for this, this is my next. We're taking a look at Bluetooth sport headphones. Now there are a lot of good Bluetooth sport headphones out there now so how do you even begin to choose which pair is right for you? I'll say this, it's not necessarily about the purest or absolute best audio quality you can get when it comes to sport headphones. These are going to get beat up. They're going to be tossed in a gym bag, you're going to sweat on them. So really what it comes down to is durability, of course how well they fit, can they hold a charge and okay sound. After using more than a dozen different pairs of sport headphones, I've come up with two pairs that I think stand out. My number one pick for Bluetooth sport headphones are JLab's Epic 2 Wireless Sport Earbuds. JLab has made all the right moves with this pair of headphones from fit to sound to battery life to waterproofing. These are sturdy but light with an adjustable cable and they come with eight different pairs of gel tips so they should fit a variety of ears. They do require a little bit of adjustment because they go over the ear and then you have to twist them in but once they're in there, they're in there and they sound great. They offer deep bass with crisp clear vocals. My only complaint would be that sometimes they sounded a little bit bright so I'd end up turning the volume down. Like a lot of other Bluetooth headphones, they pair with both iPhone and Android smartphones and they have a standard three button remote and mic attached to the cable. They have a ridiculously long 12 hour battery life and they also come with an IPX5 waterproof rating. Now does this mean that you should go swimming with them? No, but I've been sweating in them and have spilled water on them from my water bottle and the tap and they're still fine. These aren't perfect though. The plastic earbuds themselves are actually pretty big and while I was able to find a comfortable fit eventually, the sheer size of those might be an annoyance to some people. Now if you want to spend a little less money, a close second are Plantronics Backbeat Fit Bluetooth headphones. What really sold me on these was comfort and convenience. They just felt super comfortable to me. They go over the ear like the Jlabs for a more secure fit and this cable's pretty thick but the best part about it is when you throw it in a bag, it doesn't tangle. The sound quality on these is pretty good. It's not super bass heavy but there's enough oomphs for beat driven workout songs. Also the earbuds are designed to let some noise into the ear canal which some people prefer when they're exercising outdoors. And as an added bonus, the Backbeat Fits come with a neoprene armband for your smartphone. So why aren't these my top pick? Well, the main reason is that the remote control technology is built into the earbuds themselves. It's not in a little remote that comes on the cable. In theory, having interactive earbuds is not a bad idea but in this case with the Plantronics, there's a learning curve and they're also kind of sensitive so every time I went to go adjust the earbuds in my ears, I would end up accidentally skipping or pausing a song and I just kept wishing that it had a simple three button remote on the cable like the Jlabs. There are a lot of other Bluetooth sport headphones to choose from and like I said, this is going to come down to personal sound and fit preferences for you. But there are some other things to consider that might be deal breakers. First, do you really want to spend $150 to $200 on a pair of headphones that are basically going to get beat up? That's kind of how I feel about the Beats Powerbeats 2 wireless headphones or the brand new Jaybird Freedom Sport headphones. They're both really nice and offer good sound but that's a lot of money to spend on sport headphones. You'll also want to determine whether you can deal with neck buds while you're working out like the kind on JBL's Reflect Response Bluetooth sport headphones. Some people find these really comfortable. I find them to be a little bit annoying especially when I'm running. There are also some sport headphones that require you to use a mobile app to experience the full benefits of headphones like Jabra Sport Pace or Sport Coach but personally, the last thing I want is to have to download another fitness app. Whether or not you want six hours of battery life or 12, a flexible cable or an unbending one, interactive earbuds or a three button remote, noise isolating buds or ambient noise and of course how well they actually fit you is really going to come down to you. But you can't go wrong with JLab's Epic 2 Wireless Sport Earbuds.
