What Bluetooth headphone are you going to use with the watch?

Just bought the jaybird bluebuds x from BestBuy. They were on sale for 124.99. Same on Amazon. They look like a quality product. Will test later today in the gym!
I chose these with the secure fit as they work well with or without my hearing aids. Over the ear mounts and the hearing aid body conflict with each other.
the Jaybirds have this feature. I use is often and even took a phone call when running once, even tho the caller said they couldn't understand me. Image that.
Other calls I've taken on them while not exercising sounded just fine on both ends.
Sorry which model does this again? And can you confirm that Siri works in additional to taking calls?
I've had in-ear earphones for many years, and I really like them for music listening sessions and when I want to be isolated. But I really don't like them any other time, like at work, on my bike, or making a call. Anyone know anything about these from Amazon, or know of any other bluetooth sets like this? I know I could convert any old phones with an adapter but I'm hoping to keep it really simple and clean.
Don't they all have this feature? However I use Jaybird Bluebuds X and Siri is there to please and annoy, depending on what is asked.
Warning, LG Tone Pro 750's are not compatible with the iPhone 6/6+ or Apple Watch. I just bought them and I have to return mine because there is no way to set a comfortable volume, they are either too quiet or deafeningly loud, but otherwise calls and music work. Same volume issue when paired directly to my Apple Watch or iPhone 6+. LG tech support said they have compatibility issues with the iPhone 6.
I just bought my wife Jaybird Blue Buds and they work very well when paired to an iPhone 6, iPhone 6+ or Apple Watch.

Tried the Bluebuds X (not a good fit) and the Denons (not a good fit and not good sound) and this week got the Powerbeats2 with seperate Comply tips. Very happy with the Powerbeats, although they were a bit pricey.
Any suggestions for $50 or under, with over ear hook? I tend to lose these types of things and don't want to spend a lot. I don't care about noise canceling, just want something for outdoor walks and exercise. Thanks!
I picked up the PB2 2 days ago. I don't think they even need the Comply tips because they don't insert into your ear canal. Love the headphones but pricey is an understatement.
I just picked up a pair of Sony MDR-AS600BT sport Bluetooth headphones yesterday for less than 1/2 the price (on sale for $78 at Amazon.com) and I don't think I'm keeping the PB2 no matter how much I like them... $200 for a pair of earbuds is a little too rich for my blood. If they were priced closer to $130 brand new I think they would be keepers. This is just too much for me to handle on TOP of buying an Apple Watch...
My Soundpeats arrived today and once I figured out how to insert them with these wing things I'm very happy with them. I have small ears and they are comfortable (so far). I haven't done much other than do stuff around the house with them to see how they feel but I like them. The sound is nice. I'm no audiophile so I'm not picky but they're clearer than my regular earbuds. The fit is secure and feels pretty natural. Now if my Apple Watch would just hurry up and arrive....
UPDATE: I wanted to see how loud they were to others so I took them out while playing at my normal volume. I hate those people on the subway...when you can hear the music so loudly despite them wearing head/earphone. Anyway, I think I'm safe. I couldn't hear much of anything when I took them out. Nice. But I did notice that the main function button blinks blue every 10 seconds. That's kind of annoying. Is there a way to make that stop? Or should I just try to find something to cover it. I don't think it's a battery thing since I charged these fully.
Update 2: I am really really liking these. They are much lighter than I expected them to be as they are kind of bulky. But they don't feel much heavier than my old earbuds. I walk to/from the subway and they feel quite secure. The sound really is quite good. I'm hearing things I didn't with my old ear phones and though they aren't noise canceling, they block out a fair amount of outside sound. Important when you're riding the subways in NYC.

Can get them cheaper on eBay. I have the Purple ones my mom got me at Verizon since she got one for my Dad and that's what he uses with his Watch at work.

I got mine from Verizon with a 20% discount
Thanks, just ordered these. I don't top pay $100+ for some earphones. That's crazy.
My dude I hope you enjoy em as much as I am. Still 100% no problems what so ever. In fact if your obsessed with band changing as well, go colour crazy haha. Cheers
I really like them also because it looks like you don't have to jam them in your ear like you do with other earbuds. I ordered the black to go with my leather loop band. I just mainly need the earphones when I'm walking and attending outdoor events. Thanks so much for your post. You saved me money. I think Beats is a rip off.
