I was looking at the Plantronics BackBeat Fit Bluetooth Headphones tonight. The only concern I has is the one size fits all ear buds. If they were interchangeable I would have purchased them already.

I own them and their a sleeper. Strong bass,10 hours of play time, durable, and a biggie is people can hear you on the phone unlike the other Bluetooth headphones. I'm very happy with them.

Your post title is which one are you (we) going to use. Not what should I (you) buy based on my budget. Totally different question. :)

I'd buy the one that had the best (so called) expert reviews and the least 1 & 2 star consumer reviews.

LG tone for podcasts/etc (when if that happens). Bose soundlink on ear for music.

Just a tip, keep an eye out for headphones that suffer from output lag. If you plan to use them with any other device for video, many cheap bluetooth headsets have poor lip-syncing issues

The SoundPeats QY7s are available under several brand names, and IMHO probably the best use of money if you're wanting to buy these for working out. I think the money saved (almost $100) on these over something like the Jaybirds could be used towards *really* nice headphones to use in non-workout situations.

I've just bought the PowerBeats 2. I know a guy at work with the Soundpeats and after listening to them I really do not rate them at all.

I'm by no means an audiophile, but i found the Soundpeats are very tinny sounding and I don't rate them at all for music.

Day to day I have a set of Yamaha HPH-PRO 500's which are perfect in terms of bass, mids & treble balance. At least I think so. The beats are more bass orientated which is what I've always heard and why I went for the Yamaha's over the beats for my main headphones.

For running/gym the beats will be ideal. Good quality sound, fits very nice and look good.
