The obvious suggestion would be fitbit's Flyer headphones which were designed for just this. https://www.fitbit.com/flyer

 

Have you looked at them yet?

Any bluetooth headphones should work.  I am using my trusty old Sony MDR950BT's.  Two years old, take em running and to the gym and they won't die.  When I got the ionic, they just paired up with no issues.

Thanks for your help. I was hoping I could use others. The new Fitbit Headphones are a little pricey for me.

I use my Ionic several times a week at the gym with my Sony headphones.  I have never seen proprietary Bluetooth, so I don't know why you would have issues with any set of wireless headphones unless they were so old that their version of Bluetooth can't negotiate a good connection.  I think that would be rare.  If you are buying new headphones for this, any pair of wireless headphones should work.

I agree 100%.  My point was that Fitbit only supports their Flyer headphones, and that if you have an issue playing music over any other Bluetooth headphones they won't honor their warranty and help you.  Instead, they tell you that they will only troubleshoot Bluetooth music issues if you have a Flyer.  So, technically any pair of Bluetooth headphones will work, you just won't be supported by Fitbit.

Just bought these and I am bringing them back. They don’t stay in my ears and had great difficulty getting them to work. They worked ok with my phone but not with my versa
