Wireless earphones opinions

Looking for a pair of wireless earphones that are sweat proof,
comfortable, durable with good sound isolation. $150 max.
Suggestions appreciated.

I can't remember prices so don't know if these fit in your budget but I've owned both the Jaybrid Bluebuds and Beats Powerbeats2. I liked the connectivity and sound for both but the fit with the over the ear piece like the Beats is superior to me. I'd be running and the Bluebuds would slowly work their way out. The fit can be helped with Conform earpieces but in the end I liked the Beats because they stay on.

One other thing with these is that I no longer keep the cord on the back of my neck, I let it hang under my chin. On my neck, any head turning pulls on the cord and can pull them out of my ears.

I went with power beats for the gym. Word of advice, with the Bluetooth delay, if you watch movies or videos at the gym during cardio like I do the delay is pretty damn annoying!! Sound quality is decent though.

I have the jaybird blue buds and bought some foam ear pieces as recommended by one of the top reviews on Amazon. Very happy with them and I use them running and cycling with no issues thus far (1 month in). They also fit your budget. I was going between those and the beats and money wasn't a deciding factor. Didn't want an earpiece like the beats have even though it may be functional.

My beats fixed the delay problem with a firmware update. Otherwise it was very annoying.
