Looking for a quality bluetooth earbud (stereo).
-
So over in this discussion: http://mangolassi.it/topic/4954/bluetooth-earbud
@g.jacobse was wanting a new earbud.
Well I have no idea how he can stand to listen to music in one ear. That would drive me crazy.
I broke my old Bluetooth stereo earbuds months ago and have been making due with my original iPhone earpods. While they generally sound just fine as I am not after some ultimate sound quality, I really am getting tired of the cord.
SO what would you all recommend for a decent stereo Bluetooth headset with mic?
My old ones were a basic LG model like this:

Just bought one of these for my son. So far, he thinks they are awesome. I may have to pickup a set for myself.

If you're looking for something small, the Backbeat FIT by Plantronics is awesome. If you want over the year, the Backbeat Pro is awesome! Don't get the Backbeat GO 2. They are horrible...

This looks like over the ear to me... I never had an over the ear model that I loved. A few that were good enough, but none I truly liked.

I'm only talking about earbuds, not cups. So over the ear means exactly that. part of the headset goes over the ear. Not desirable.
If I am going to breakdown and buy cups, I'll going with some kind of Bose noise cancelling. I've used a really nice pair of those in the past. super comfy, but not suited to walking up to a customer wearing.

Motorola makes a really nice set that are very popular. I've heard a lot of good things about them.

Anyone ever heard of them? Their Freedom Spirit model only has 4.5 hours of battery life

I have the Backbeat Pro - don't like it. Battery life is retarded and none of the rubber ear cups fit, which means they fall out of my ears all the time.
@JaredBusch - as for dealing with listening to music in only one ear; It's a trade off. I get to listen to music or talk on the phone, and ignore,.. err I mean still hear the person across the room.
