is Bluetooth my only real option?

I'm not looking for a microphone in it, but it will be used with my phone mostly, so its Bluetooth accessible. Sound quality isn't really a factor either. The main thing here is discrete. It can't be too big or bulky.

I'm sure lots of you use this stuff, but I've never had Bluetooth or a pair of wireless earbuds. What do you use and would you recommend?

What are you using it for? Phone calls?

I've never used it except for the phone. I would imagine wireless earbuds are expensive since it's a niche market. Most I've seen are not all that discrete. They usually have a cord between the two ear pieces at least.

Best I've ever had, they are a tad expensive but the quality of the sound the base and the non stick cord makes up for it.

Yeah, I got those free with my phone, Manny. They have cords though!

So Bluetooth is probably my only real option then, it looks like. I could totally rock earring earbuds if they didn't have cords too

Beats in any form are overpriced and overrated. You fell for marketing hype.

Samsung has a model that is a typical bluetooth toothbud, but also has wireless earbuds and is only about $30-40. I think it's model HM3700?
