Bluetooth earbuds recommendations?
« on: January 31, 2017, 12:35:17 AM »
I am looking for something in the $30 or less range.

They cannot go inside the ear canal. I just don't like it.

If possible, I'd like some that I'll be able to hear over the hum of an electric power-washer, or other such noise.

Thanks.

Can you say "situational awareness"?

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

All earbuds go in the ear.  Do you want something that hangs on the ear or over the head?

I mean I want something shaped like this:




Or like this:




But not like this (goes in like ear plugs):

Can you say, "fistful already wears earbuds, he just wants more practical ones, so your kvetching is useless?"  :P  Wirey earbuds actually encourage me to keep my head down, and facing front, so wireless will probably help with SA, anyhow.

You can try this, but it probably does not match most every requirement you mentioned.   =D
