I am looking for a good set of wireless earbuds. I will use them for listening to music/movies as well as using it for VOIP/Skype calls. I do not mind if there is a cable connecting the buds.

I have been looking at the Bose Soundsport wireless and the V-Moda Forza Metallo. I can get a decent discount on both of those and they seem to get good reviews.

I like to be able to have it loud, including bass, so that is important. I prefer them to be resistant to water/sweat, but understand it wont be waterproof. I don;t want to spend hundreds, but up to $150 is probably ok. I don't mind spending less of course

I am open to suggestions or any comments about the 2 I mentioned.

Thanks.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Go for Sony WI-SP600N. Noise cancellation, wireless, sweat proof, loud to the extend can make you deaf and the bass can crack your brain.

Thanks. Any more suggestions?

RHA MA650 could also work.

How is the mic on all of these? I'd like to be able to use this set for phone calls also, so I want the mic to be decent and not have to scream for it to pickup.

Also what about the V-Moda Bassfits?

This would be my choice. Forza metallo wireless sound awesome but the form factor sucks for the gym. If bassfits sounds like those they would be tough to beat. Hoping for a bf sale on them.

I tried MA750 for gym use. Slipped out of my ears too much. No stabilizers.

So does anyone know how the bassfits sound and how the mic is? At this point, I would say that the Bose Soundsport wireless, Sony WI-SP600N, and maybe the Bassfits are on my list.

I want something comfortable that doesn't fall out. I may use them at the gym as well, but I am not a big runner, so as long as they stay in fairly well then it should work for me.

Fitting wise is very subjective. For me bose doesn't fit me well and I am using WF-SP700N which is the truly wireless version of WI-SP600N. It fits well. Do you have a chance to try it on?

Ok, what would be a better set:

Bose Soundsport Wireless ($100)
Sony WI-SP600N ($100)
Dre PowerBeats3 ($100)
V-Moda Bassfits (~$110)

The sony's scare me a bit because they do not look comfortable, but again the only one I am able to listen to or try is the Bose.

Comfort can only be determined by auditioning and trying instead of looking on physical appearance Since you can only try Bose and the sound is convincing, then go for it. Try not to buy something without trying. This is my opinion.
