Subject: If I want a discrete wireless earbud,
is Bluetooth my only real option?

I'm not looking for a microphone in it, but it will be used with my phone mostly, so its Bluetooth accessible. Sound quality isn't really a factor either. The main thing here is discrete. It can't be too big or bulky.

I'm sure lots of you use this stuff, but I've never had Bluetooth or a pair of wireless earbuds. What do you use and would you recommend?

What are you using it for? Phone calls?

I've never used it except for the phone. I would imagine wireless earbuds are expensive since it's a niche market. Most I've seen are not all that discrete. They usually have a cord between the two ear pieces at least.

Best I've ever had, they are a tad expensive but the quality of the sound the base and the non stick cord makes up for it. happy

Yeah, I got those free with my phone, Manny. They have cords though!

So Bluetooth is probably my only real option then, it looks like. I could totally rock earring earbuds if they didn't have cords too tongue

Beats in any form are overpriced and overrated. You fell for marketing hype. laugh

Samsung has a model that is a typical bluetooth toothbud, but also has wireless earbuds and is only about $30-40. I think it's model HM3700?

There are at least a half dozen headphone companies out there that make better headphones for less money.

Beats are the new Bose. Not bad, but there are equal and better for less. They just do better marketing.

Dude, you rock. Those are exactly what I'm looking for, thank you.

Edit: might have got excited a little early, a bit big but I'm thinking that's what i have to use for now.
