I got myself a set of these, and they last all day for me.

I do a lot of work outside. These fit under my hearing protectors if I'm running the chainsaw or in the shop if I'm running a noisy machine. Cheap and good!

I've had GREAT Results with Jaybird X3's. Plus they come with an app to use or make custom EQ settings. They have a bunch of different earbud sizes and clips, plus noise canceling earbud covers too. I got the camo ones, Best Buy Exclusive.

Battery should last for more than an hour. I have a cheap ($25) Anker earbuds. They do the job

BUT the fit is no match for what I get from Shure (wired) 2xx or 5xx. So whereas the battery lasts for hours on end, I have to push on the buds inside my ear canal every 200M (running) with the Ankers vs never with Shure's foam tips and over the ear cable.

So if $150 is within your budget, you may want to consider Shure bluetooth earbuds

I have a behind-the-ear bluetooth headset, and I am happy with it in every way EXCEPT that the microphone produces muffled sound for the person I'm speaking with. Do any of the earbuds above do a good job in that respect?
