[Looking for a rec] Headphones or earbuds for the gym

There are a lot of really good in-ear monitors out there (IEM's), and the majority of them are designed to block out most external noise by essentially plugging up your ears.

Unless you will NEVER wear these phones in a place where you might want to still be able to hear a little bit of what is going on around you, such as jogging, riding a bike, or just walking around where there may be cars for example, then they are good. The Senn's are particularly good.

However, I would recommend you look for a pair of V-Moda Vibes. They are some of the best-sounding IEM's ever, in the $100 price range anyway, and since they are a couple years old now, you should be able to find them in your price range now. They allow you to still hear around you some, they are small and very comfortable, they don't fall out, and they sound spectacularly good.

 

Saw this on slickdeals.net

Its around your price range. You wont get better earphones around this price range

 

Only the white ones are on sale for 59.99

 

JVC marshmallows 1 or 2(might be called air cushions). go to head-fi.org, they are very highly praised for being around $20. i own a pair of each, the marshmallow 2s are more confortable and looks better, but for sound quality, the 1s are better. hope that helped.

 

I need to headphones for the gym also. The ones I have always fall out and arent water proof.

 

Its cause Obama is President lol jk

anyways these are good headphones i have them and the work great

 

I bought the SCL4's for $80 and while they are fantastic headphones, they are not great for the gym.

 

Just wondering...why are they not great for the gym?

 

I just returned a pair of $150.00 Shure headphones for repair/replacement (still under warranty.) They promptly sent me a brand new pair.

I think they would not be good for the gym b/c of the motion and wear and tear. They are a highly sensitive piece of equipment, that is why they sound so amazing, so I don't think they are meant to take a beating or survive a lot of perspiration from the ears.

Mine started getting static after about 6 months. I think I was too rough with them b/c I always wore them on my commute to work and I'd be constantly fiddling with my Ipod and whatnot. And I never used the supplied storage case to protect them when not in use.

I'll be taking much better care of the new ones.

 

I just bought some Sony Water Proof headphones at Circuit City for 15 buks

 

I use these. I don't have the adapter anymore for the IPOD since i play music off my phone now but They stay on and you can lie down on the bench w/o them getting in the way. I went wireless because the wires from my earbuds would always snag onto something and it would get yanked out of my ear.
