Blue ant pump They used to be like 150 dollars but since the gen 2 ones came out you can find them for 32 on amazon (like here https://www.amazon.com/BlueAnt-Pump-Wireless-Sportbuds-Black/dp/B00ISRUFXY/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469355811&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=blunt+pumpp)
I ended up buying a bunch .. they're great I love them
I have Blueant Pumps that I have gone swimming with before. Fine for waterproof and they worked fine for me when I did a couple laps but be aware that bluetooth and water do not mix well.
The water interrupts the signal and it can skip or get choppy even if your phone is very close by.
I've had them for more than 2 years and they are still kicking, though the rubber shell has gotten loose on them so I wouldn't trust the waterproofing any more.
Very inexpensive (around 30 bucks) now that the new version is out. I paid 75 for mine on sale when they were normally 99
I have had 5 or 6 different styles/brands of Bluetooth headphones over the past few years. These are the best ones I've found so far: http://www.amazon.com/BlueAnt-Pump-Wireless-Sportbuds-Black/dp/B00ISRUFXY
I was worried they might be bulky, but they fit very well.
These are the most hearind-arid-resembling headphones I've found. The white/green model seems to hide the pause/play/volume buttons pretty well, so they look less like headphones. However, take it with a grain of salt, because almost all hearing aids of this form factor seem to be flesh-coloured, which is a hard colour to find headphones in.
Blue Ant Pumps, they're fucking amazing, you can't hear yourself breathe or hear the flywheel. changed my life
I have these:
They kick serious ass and have crazy noise cancelling. I can't even hear myself breathe and I can barely hear the fly wheel when I erg with these. It makes things easier when you can't hear your own suffering.
Budget - I want to try not to go above $100. I feel more comfortable with around $50.
Source - Nvidia Shield Tablet K1, iPod nano.
Requirements for Isolation - As little as possible, I'm going on vacation with my family, so I want to still be able to hear them while I play music, but at the same time I want to avoid bass loss.
Will you be using these headphones in public? - Will be the only place, I'm buying them for vacation. So at the beach/pool and balcony.
Preferred type of headphone - Earbuds (IEM)
Preferred tonal balance - I'm an audiophile, so I really want to have a full range with a lot of detail. Nothing really drowning anything out, and if possible some emphasis on good bass.
Past headphones - Panasonic Ergofit
Preferred music - Mellow/downtempo, electronic, and indie/alternative rock.
What would you like to improve on from your setup - Clearer audio, the midrange on my current earbuds aren't loud at times, so really a balanced sound (like I said before)
P.S. I need these to be waterproof up to a meter underwater, because I am planning on watching the sunset in the hotel pool, but I don't have to hear them underwater.
I found some already that meet most of my requirements, the only one I am not sure of is sound quality. If I could get an opinion, that would be awesome
Walk Me Up - This alarm app won't turn off unless you get up and walk a predetermined number of steps. It's enough to get me out of bed and moving for a few moments.
Waterproof Bluetooth Headphones - I pop these in right away and get some music going. The alarm gets me out of bed, the headphones keep me awake.
I then move right into my morning workout. Simple bodyweight stuff, enough to get the blood pumping and work up a sweat. No equipment, no set-up, just right to it. Check out /r/bodyweightfitness for workout ideas.
Once I'm done, I can keep rocking out while I head into the shower, since the headphones are waterproof. I'll take my time, and shave and brush my teeth in the shower, so by the time I'm out, all I need to do is get dressed. Whole thing takes 30-45 minutes.
The best part is, it gets me up and keeps me up even when I'm waking early. Waking up early gets me tired earlier, which in turn makes it so much easier to get to bed (and to sleep) earlier. A couple weeks of this was all it took to shift my sleep habits from a die-hard night owl to someone who wakes up before 6:30AM even on weekends.

Waterproof and bluetooth. Sound great. Pretty inexpensive.

BluAnt Pumps. Reviews on Amazon are mixed, but I have been using them for almost a year and am completely satisfied. http://www.amazon.ca/BlueAnt-Pump-Wireless-Sportbuds-Black/dp/B00ISRUFXY
I just got these http://www.amazon.com/BlueAnt-Pump-Wireless-Sportbuds-Black/dp/B00ISRUFXY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1429902971&sr=8-1&keywords=blueant+pump
Battery life seems to be around 8 hours of play time.
