I have several IEMs but I want a bluetooth set small enough to wear for daily walks. I have a pr of Beats solo on-ear headphones I got for free with an Apple bonus give-away that came with the iMac I bought my wife last year. They are surprisingly pretty good, and comfortable for the limited time I've used them, but not IEMs. I want the bt IEMs for some music, but probably mostly either streaming or news stations, so sound quality isn't critical. If it was, I wouldn't be shopping bluetooth. I have other headphones for that.

Anyhow.... Beats also makes an IEM 'BeatsX' which got pretty good reviews @ $149, but can be had now for $89 in some places. Apple still has them at $149, of course. I was about to pull the trigger at Costco yesterday, on sale for $99, till I noticed several places selling them at $89, incl Best Buy. I like the idea of the lightweight connector and the magnet clips to keep them together, vs Apple ear pods or whatever, which I'd probably just lose. Unless someone has a better idea.....
