Best Bluetooth earphones?

I've tried various types of Bluetooth earphones for running, and none has lasted longer than about three months before they stopped charging, or one ear stopped working...

However I was spending about £20 on a set; so I'm wondering if it's worth spending more for better quality and reliability- and if so, does anybody have any recommendations?

Thanks very much in advance!

    Hi

    I have the Plantronics Backbeat Fit set, got them well over a year ago and still going strong. I think there's a new version now.

    I paid around £60 for mine. They pair with my Apple Watch which is what I wanted them for (no need for phone in gym), the cable stays well out the way and they even have a little carry case that reverses to be a phone arm band. The charge lasts ages.

    My one criticism is that after say an hour they feel a bit uncomfortable in my little ears but my workouts usually top out at 45/50 mins so not a problem :)
