You guys seriously workout w/ this brick? I love my phone, but no way does it work as a workout partner... unless you guys are just on a treadmill/elliptical when you go to the gym...

This thing is too bulky to be a gym partner.

I highly recommend the Klipsch Image S4a. I've owned the regular S4 model for a couple of years now and love them with Comply Foam tips. The S4a adds Android music track control that aren't on the S4. Many reviews compare its sound quality to that of ear buds that cost hundreds more. They retail for about $80, but can be found for less.

How do you like the Klipsch S4a now that you've had them? I didn't mind the stock ear tips, but after months of use they needed replacing. I purchased Comply Foam tips and they're a great upgrade; super comfortable, great noise isolation, and some cool colors.

Not bad at all if I had to complain It would be volume I'm used to loud but I'm fine it I know its bad to be loud and for this pair no need to be loud cuz this pair does a very good job of canceling out any background noise. You got a link for those buds. Thanks

interesting so this is like a wireless receiver

No, it's a bluetooth adapter that uses headphones. ANY 3.5mm headphones. It works awesomely. I think they're coming out with an updated version too (read/heard it months ago, but didn't research). If they do, I'll gladly get one. This thing is awesome, plus I can use whatever headphones I want (in ear, over ear, etc. I use either my Sennheiser Over or Shure IEM).

EDIT:
This looks like the successor to the BH-214!

Like one of the commenters said: SHUT UP & TAKE MY MONEY! I don't think they realize how useful it is to use your own headphones (or the included ones) without ever having to access your phone.

I used it once as a remote (see my review for how wired/BT simultaneously means wired takes priority). I kept the BH-214 on me, but my phone was plugged into the stereo about 20' away. If a song came on I didn't care for, I hit next on the BH-214 & it would change. Worked ok as long as I was in range.

What I meant to say is Bluetooth is wireless technology but not like wifi and it transmits audio via Bluetooth to the phone. No price I'm not at home yet but I Google the price. If its cheap enough I would get . I would like to just buy the adapter and leave the earbuds alone

If you didn't use the headphones with it, it'd act like a BT Remote. You could change prev/next/play/pause/send/end calls/volume up/volume down. As for price, I just saw it for $74. Seems only one place is selling them in the US & that's Expansys.

But, why wouldn't you use the headphones?

In my case, I already had some NICE NICE Shure IEMs (In Ear Monitors, professional musician level) that sound great with it. Same with my Sennheiser HD640 & PC350.
