Hello everybody! 
I'm back after 10 months of inactivity and I'm in need for another earphone!
For the past 10 months, I've purchased the Phiaton 210 BTNC (also known as PS 210 BTNC, http://www.amazon.com/Phiaton-PS-210-BTNC-Cancelling/dp/B0089V4ZGM/ref=pd_sim_sbs_e_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0B3DPN2NMSAXX7NHKSBP) and Audio Technica ATH-CK505M (Japan import, U-cord/J-cord, http://www.amazon.com/Technica-ATH-CK505M-BW-Headphones-Japanese/dp/B008BMX18W)
During the earlier ten months, my main go-to earphones were the Phiaton, but since the build quality is so poor, it broke down on me. The necklace broke apart and the clip is broken. 
Since the bluetooth receiver cannot reach down to my pant pockets, they became useless to me. So I turned to my other pair, the CK505M.
I like this pair a lot, but I'm really missing the wireless feature. Since I play a lot of sports that involve jumping and other activities, I don't use my CK505M while I do these activities. I would like to listen to music while doing my conditioning training, but I can't do that with either of these earphones.
So I went on a cyber expedition.
Here's what I got:
Plantronics Backbeat Go 2
Jabra ROX
Jaybird Bluebuds X
LG HBS-800
Sony HB80
Thanks to Vectron, from XDA-developers, for providing public reviews for 4 out of the 5 earphones I'm currently looking at. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433088http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2725608)
But I'm still not convinced on which one is the best one for me. I don't use high end earphones, but I don't like hearing my music like tin cans. 
I'm going to do a lot of physical activities with these and I need to know which one that does not fall out as often (My Phiaton pair fell out a lot, it became a habit to adjust it after every other song.). 
I'm also looking for a mutli-connect feature from these earphones.
All-in-all, I'm looking for mutli-connect feature and an earphone that doesn't fall while working out. 
Also if you have other recommendations, please feel free to post them here and I'll take then into consideration. 
Thanks!
