So i just got my first pair (Paxcess) only $45. I connected them bluetooth to my iphonex and they seem ok but i noticed when i am moving/head turning the sound bounces from left ear to right ear vise versa etc. Hoping this is a simple fix but i am guessing it's not and that these are a cheap pair and good ones cost about $200?

I got a pair of Sony earbuds on eBay for $20 and I love 'em.
 
I've got the Apple rechargeables and they're excellent. I am not an Applehead but find most of their products superior and their service excellent. All except that HomePod with that hard of hearing and even harder to understand ***** Siri. And every time an Apple ad comes on and that guy says Hey Siri, mine fires up. Scared the bejeezus out of me the first time it happened. I live alone....or thought I did.

Yeah,those aren’t going to be good. Apple AirPods or Beats is what Apple works best with,and superior IMO.
There are other ones and they don’t cost $200...but I don’t know how good they really are.

I don't like the ear pieces fit on those.

I might use the ones i bought till i lose one or it breaks, after that i might get the ones that Bose makes. I like when the ear piece kind of fits right into the ear like earplugs.

Well whatever works best for you is what’s important.

What i was trying to figure out was, is the sound shifting from the bluetooth to the ear pieces while moving/walking/running because i have a cheap pair or is it something else. Before i buy another pair i need to make sure this is not a universal problem with all wireless headphones/earbuds. Don't want to spend $200 more just to have the same problem i have now, but yes the comfort is important. Sux having songs fade in and out while working out.

That’s why...you can’t use just any brand with Apple. I’ve been burned before too,and learned. Try one in the article I posted if you don’t like Apple AirPods or Beats.

Try being absolutely still while working out and see if that helps.

Oh, my bad. Mine are connected to each other by a wire, but wireless to WiFi.
 
I was a Skullcandy fan, for the money, but after upgrading I find it hard to go back. They sound so muffled. Good bass but mid-range lacks.

I got a pair of Plantronics for Skype use at work (and they Bluetooth to my cell phone) and they are absolutely fantastic sounding. I love them. Not only do they sound good but they are wireless. I thought the hype about wireless for headphones was just that, hype. I was wrong. I love being cordless. My only small complaint is they are over-your-head design. Only a big deal because I spike up my hair in the day and don't want a nice band through my hair when they're not on. haha I can get them to sit behind my head but I know most people probably think I do it to be cool. Oh well.

Today i was only slightly moving around with them in my ears, phone was in pocket, and i was losing audio in one or the other earbud often. Tomorrow i am going to do my miles with them and if there's a constant audio problem i am going to send this pair back to Amazon and buy something worth while.

Thanks for the info all.
