Blaupunkt did bring some good products for audiophiles (review), but it the only one until Skullcandy decided to throw its hat in the ring with the Sesh Bluetooth earbuds. The Skullcandy Sesh earbuds fit well in your ears and, unlike most others, don't fall off easily, no matter how extensive your movement.
