By inexpensive, I am not talking about low quality 5-30 dollars headphones. However, I do want the price to be far below $150.
I will be using it mainly for listening to music at home, but I would also like to use it for sport situations.
I want it to be very comfortable; I hate ear clips because they tend to be painful, but I am open to the idea of a painless ear clips. I want to be able to hear outside while other people cannot hear what I am listening to. Wireless would be ideal for me.

I do not want ginormous headphones, but I do want headphones larger than ear buds.

Are there any headphones beside Bose (which tends to be overly hyped and over priced)?

Aznman, high quality + inexpensive is a tough compromise, but I believe the Kinivo BTH240 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones ($25) may fit what you're looking for. These are popular in the fitness/bodybuilding community, as they're reasonably priced and get the job done. I tried them out and personally wasn't a fan, as I'm accustomed to the fit of IEMs/earbuds, but they are highly praised by others and have 4/5 stars on Amazon out of ~2000 reviews.

I personally use JayBird BlueBuds X Earbuds ($140) and while they're pricey, they've served me very well, as I use them for the gym, biking, etc. They were designed specifically for the active lifestyle person, and they beat buying $10 headphones every 4 months. Sound quality is amazing.

Thank you for your helpful advice!

You're welcome! Good luck with your choice; let us know what you pick!

I use Plantronics BackBeat GO 2 wireless ear buds. They claim up to 4.5 hours of listen time but I can get 2.5 hours before the low battery warning happens and then I can get maybe another 45 mins sometimes an hour of of them before they shut off. However, the charge fairly fast, even from a portable pack like my Mophie which is light enough I can take on my rides and charge during a long break. Otherwise they last the entirety of a 22 mile no-drop ride with 5 regroups and my to/from time and the time I am waiting for the ride to start.

Late reply. Anyway, I bought Auvio Stereo Headphones. For me, I used at least 9 hours without charging.

Hi,

I'm a bit of an audiophile and I've tried lots of blue tooth headphones.
The best but for me by far has been the Motorola S11-HD

Baby had them on offer the last time i was in the US.

Rich sound, deep bass and last about 4 hours.

I have those Kinivo BT240's. I love them. Sound is not audiophile quality, and that's fine, as I don't need that. It allows some ambient sound in, which I prefer. I don't want my headphones to seal sound out entirely.

I use these headphones nearly every day, and I only have to charge them once every two weeks or so.

The ergonomics are very good, too. They usually sit on my neck all day. I can put them on with one hand, one ear at a time. When I ride in traffic, I put one ear on and leave the other off. It works for turn by turn directions.

I assume by $150 headphones, the OP is referring to the JayBird BlueBuds X's.

I personally also tried to find cheaper bluetooth headphones, but the Plantronics model wouldn't stay in my ear (and the sound quality was less even), another pair I tried wouldn't hold up, etc. Finally I just bought the Jaybird's and they've worked great. They have the best sound quality, the most durable, the best fit, and they've just straight up worked the best.

I used the Plantronics BackBeat 903+ for working out at the gym - they were very comfortable, the sound quality was good enough, but they're not good for like, biking, because they don't totally seal in your ear.

I tried the Plantronics BackBeat GO 2 - they wouldn't stay in my ears. They had really good high range, but a nearly complete lack of bass, also wasn't fond of that.

I'd take a different path. For sports, I like the Aftershockz Bluez headphones. They transmit the audio through bone conduction and leave your ears open. You have great situational awareness and the sound is decent.

I've been using an Avantree pair for several months. Sound quality is okay, better than most earbuds I've tried but nothing compared to a high end wired home pair. Ambient noise gets through well enough for jogging and cycling...not so much for carrying on a conversation, but I can always hear cars behind me and usually bicycles too. Batteries last several hours, guessing 7ish...I usually charge them once a week, twice if short-charging.

LG Tone. Great battery life, decent sound.

I like Sennheisers. At work I have a pair of HD202s. They're < $25 and sound surprisingly good.

If you're looking for something compact, Koss PortaPros are quite good in the $40 range.

The HD280s are very nice in the $80 range.

If I'm going to go over that price (and I do plan to soon) what's on my wish list is BeyerDynamic DT770 32 ohm. They're $170 so are outside your stated range, but I thought I'd mention them. AKG and Sennheiser also have good contenders in that price range.

When riding (listening to audiobooks/podcasts) I also use the LG Tone bluetooth headsets (using the right earbud only).
