Here are five headphones for you to check-out, in order of usefullness.
I currently am using a pair of Jayfree Freedom headphones. I like them the best of all the bluetooth headphones I've tried, but they still aren't perfect. I haven't run with them because I'm not doing long nine-milers right now and I only recently got them a couple months ago. They fit snugly in my ear during long bike rides and require minimal fidgeting. If you're going to get a pair of bluetooth headphones, I recommend these, if only for the sweat-proof guarantee. I also like the wire that connects the earbuds because it is fairly flexible. Someday they'll come up with headphones that don't need to be attached to each other, and then I'll finally be happy. Finally, the box these come in and the carrying case are a bit over the top for me.....cut the price by $15 and skip the packaging bling for happier customers.
Second in line are the Backbeats. I like these for driving and listening to movies at home on the computer, but I don't recommend them for triathlon (although if you must, they would probably work). Like the Freedoms, the wire between them makes them much more comfortable and flexible than the S-9's.
Third is the Motorola S-10s, theoretically an upgrade from the S-9's. I had three pair of S-9's, all of which shorted out. These are ok for driving or office-work but I can't recommend them for anything related to triathlon.
Here are some swimming MP3 players. I haven't tried them. I talked to one person at the pool who had them (the Finis) on, and she was happy with them. I can't see them staying on after a hard push from the wall. I suppose if you are doing only kicks, they would work ok. I think you should focus on your swim technique instead of music during swim workouts. But here are two options for you....
