good workout BT sterio headset?

hi guys, i apologise in advance if this isnt the right section, but i couldnt find a particular sub-forum for bluetooth headsets.

as the title states, i'm looking for a set of good workout headphones. sound quality is important to me, i know bluetooth isnt as good as wired, but i would like to have it so my headset is not attatched to my handset. I own a motorola HT820 and i realized after a short bikeride that these are not ideal for sweat (the rubber cuffs seal in sweat)

So far, ive narrowed it down to two candidates (more are welcome)
jabra bt3030 and Tritton bh102

the reason i like these two over the others like the s9 is the ability to change out the headphones for a better set. from the looks of it, i will be able to plug this into any speaker jack and have instant bluetooth speakers, or hook it up to the auxilary on my car and... well, i'm just running in circles with this.

i guess i'm just looking for people to share their experience with these or other sets they like/dislike. i'm looking to spend no more than $70, but if the set you talk about happens to be godly for a little more, i'll still look into it

thanks in advance!

Re: good workout BT sterio headset?

after researching further, i found enough information to decide on the jabra ($43 w/ google checkout is hard to beat). what sold me was how they claimed it's "waterproof". it will definitely come in handy when snowboarding . i'm anxious to try this on my car as well, seeing as it accepts 3.5mm jacks. it would be just like having one of those parrot bt car kits (except maybe a little more ghetto). i'll update you guys when i get it

Re: good workout BT sterio headset?

does it stay in place when you jog, bikeride, anything physical? i really like the look of the s9, but i cant find them for under 50 bucks unless i buy the oem's.
anyway, i think these deserve a fair trial. while i dont like the idea of carrying extra pieces, i do like its versitility. i just hope these live up to my expectations!

Re: good workout BT sterio headset?

care to elaborate on the claims? how's the SQ in comparison to other headphones(bluetooth or no bluetooth)? how would it stack against the ht820's? how's the comfort after 1+ hours? you know, things like that

thanks for the replies guys

Re: good workout BT sterio headset?

Buy it from amazon and try it.

Amazon has an awesome return policy if you don't like it.. I love mine though.


EDIT - d'oh, out of stock.. probably because the new version (s9 HD) is coming out soon - http://www.motorola.com/motoinfo/pro...alObjectId=217

Re: good workout BT sterio headset?

got my 3030 a couple days ago. I am very impressed with the quality of this bt device! the earpiece it comes bundled with is acceptable once you put the right fittings in (sounds better than my ht820's). the range is incredible. I was able to change the bitrate in the touch's bt stack to 192kbs and it does not sound choppy, or cut out and works the same distance advertised (33ft away)
I tried it in the car and hooked it up via 3.5mm jack, i was afraid the sound would be too low, but to my surpize, it was plenty loud enough to drown out roadnoise and hurt your ears! this is definately a keeper. best 43 bucks!

ps: CA3SAR, it will work, but i hear the bt reciever isnt that reliable on the mogul (drivers fault, not hardware)
