My wife and I are taking a road trip as part of my buddy's last wishes that I spread his ashes in a couple of his favorite spots. It'll mean a lot of miles on the road to hit the places he wanted to be remembered at. I was thinking of getting some bluetooth headphones for the journey as I don't have a stereo. I've found a couple of options and was curious if anyone has experience with either or both? Or might recommend something?
Soundbud slim are fairly cheap and reviews are positive, although I've not seen anyone mentioning using them on a bike. Less than $30
Slimbuds are $140, but are made primarily for motorcycle use and advertise noise cancelation, as well as a separate mic for picking up traffic noise you need to hear, and a means of communicating with others. Obviously these are a better product, but that's still $280 for the two of us and I hate to drop it without hearing from someone that's experienced it.
Anyhow, any observations and experiences with these or similar products would be appreciated.

I have a set of beats earbuds that I can barely keep in at the gym, i can only imagine doing 70 down the highway. An acquaintance has one of these units and for what's it's worth doesn't sound bad at all. There are a couple of videos on YouTube if this might be an option. If not, good luck in your search.
I keep buying bluetooth earbuds and then they have all been returned .. They drop the signal, bad sound just do not work correctly . Seems like I just keep going back to the skull candy wired earbuds "about 10 bucks "plugged into my phone or old Zumo 550 with Sirus ..
I use these Bluetooth ear buds connected to my cell phone. I run the waze app for navigation and speed traps. I also listen to music at the same time. I'm very happy with them. Here is the amazon link

Go to amazon and search for Plugphones or try this link. I must have gone through 10-12 different kinds of ear buds before I found these. I won't leave home without them
