Bluetooth Headphone Experts?

Hello,

I have another electronics question. Does anyone recommend or own a pair of solid bluetooth wireless headphones? Here is some criteria-

1) Must be in ear
2) must be comfortable
3) must have outstanding sound quality
4) must be good for working out
5) must have microphone


These seem to have good reviews-

I like my Backbeat Fits. Was on a bike ride and took a conference call. No one could tell I was riding...

I've tried many many many... in the end, the best sounding are the bose soundsport BUT they are not noise blocking. they will stay in the ear well but you will still be able to hear things around you. the jbl everest aren't bad. the bragi headphone is awful, broke on me and trying to get them warrantied has been a challenge. the beats are way too bass heavy and also are not noise blocking. the jabra elites are big and didn't fit me well. i haven't tried airpods but i think they look ridiculous so even if they sounded good i probably wouldn't wear them. having gone thru about 6-7 bluetooth earbuds i can safely say that the bose are by far the best sounding, they are comfortable and the only con is that they aren't completely noise blocking... whatever you do DO NOT BUY BRAGI.

ps: i workout 6 days a week, mostly lifting, but generally pretty aggressively and the bose stay put.

Yes, I bought the Bose and so far I think they are great... the JayBird X3s are the only other highly rated headphone that I could find.

I can vouch for the the JBL everest's too. I just picked up a pair... they fit snug, have solid noiseblocking, but my only complaint is that they dont go loud enough (for my ears).

other than that, a very solid purchase.

I've used the Jaybird X2's for over 2 years now, 4-6 days a week at the gym, and they're still perfect. Considered getting the X3's, but my damn X2's are just too bulletproof to justify the upgrade

For anyone curious, the Bose are now on sale at Bestbuy for $135... can't think of a better deal for such great headphones.
