Spock Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 Based on online reviews I ordered Plantronics BackBeat Fit. Around a grand. Waiting for delivery so can't comment on personal experience, but Plantronics are well known and established in the earphone industry....

Fire Engine Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 I heard on the radio a few weeks ago they were talking about a set of Bluetooth ear buds that mould to your ear and even pick up your heart rate ,so no need for HR strap.I don't remember the price or make bot they were pricy.
splat Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 I have the Plantronics Backbeat Go 2They aren't sports specific (sweat proof),but they put out good sound http://www.takealot.com/plantronics-backbeat-go2-wireless-earbuds/PLID28061621 http://www.plantronics.com/images/catalog/product/large/backbeat-go-white_a.pngThe Plantronics BackBeat FIT Wireless Bluetooth Headset are sweatproof, but at R1300 are a bit over your budget. http://www.takealot.com/plantronics-backbeat-fit-wireless-bluetooth-headset-blue/PLID34167802 http://media4.takealot.com/covers/35258677/blue_1-zoom.jpg?1422003337

mtbDobby Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 I just bought the body glove ear phones from sportsmans warehouse - R650 (less the 25% discount from discovery), essentially just to test the waters for running and I am super impressed - looked at the above options which where a bit too expensive if they didn't work...
Rob_Lions Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 I have skullcandy XT Free for sale R1000 if you are interested, won it as a prize but dont have a use for it.
Da Vinci Posted April 13, 2016 Author Posted April 13, 2016 https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/179169-bluedio-q5-bluetooth-earphones/Thanks - I did do a "search" on the hub using possible wording but this didn't come up. And I can't open the link on Tapatalk Will try the main site
Christian van Zyl Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 Looking for some recommendations please. Looking at the Under a Grand range ideally. Thanx! Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThere can be only one Bluetooth earphone... Jaybird X2 Won't cost you under a grand, but will outlast 4 cheapies.
Joe Low Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 Philips Airborn SHQ7300 - R1,000 from Dion Wired I asked if they were wireless DW said yes, I told them they shouldn't be selling them then. Work nice, sound fine, & they meet the cheap criteria.
carbon29er Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 http://www.jabra.com/sports-headphones/jabra-sport-pulse-wireless Above your target price but this is the dog's bollocks. Bluetooth music, bluetooth heart rate monitor. Only negative is no ANT+ pairing to ANT+ only devices.

Are you sure you will be getting the 25% back? On the website, those headphones aren't a vitality eligible item. http://www.sportsmanswarehouse.co.za/product/body-glove-bluetooth-headphones/4056
WrightJnr Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 I have a pair of RokR's that were under R500. They ok, battery lasts about 4 hours before needing a charge. Has built in mic and volume control. Charge via micro USB. I say ok because my other earphones are my traveling Bose QC25's and you cannot compare the two. I had an issue when using my Suunto Ambit 3 with them as the watch uses a BLT HR strap there was constant connecting and disconnecting. But I'm using a Fenix 3 now and they work 100% now. Regarding the in ear HR. I'm not convinced as I hardly ever have my earphones in for an entire exercise session. Now I would be forced to keep them in my ear for the whole exercise.
The expat cyclist Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 R650 Sportsmanswarehouse. Body Glove. Two way speaker/mic system. Volume control on earpiece. Great sound.
