What To Look For
Many runners listen to music while running, but wired headphones can prove irritating. Luckily, Bluetooth headphones can communicate with music players wirelessly, doing away with the entanglement that can come with wires. When shopping for the best Bluetooth headphones, look for headphones that will stay in your ears regardless of any bumps and jostles. CNet.com praises Motorola's S9 wraparound headphones for their sound quality and sweat-resistance.
Common Pitfalls
Some Bluetooth headphones aren't designed for outdoor activities. Make sure that the headphones you buy are able to handle moisture like sweat or a light rain. Some headsets are so heavy that they're uncomfortable on long runs: look for headsets that weigh half a pound or less.
Where To Buy
You can find Bluetooth headphones in electronics stores like Best Buy and Fry's Electronics and on their websites, but online shopping sites like Amazon.com and Half.com tend to offer lower prices, as well as a wider range of options from which to choose.
Cost
Bluetooth headphones can range widely in price. Some higher-end models cost well over $300, while some sets can be found on clearance for less than $50. Most of the headphones that are suitable for jogging tend to cost between $50 and $100, with the majority of these closer to $50.
