Question I Need Suggestions On Gym Earphones...

ive been using the iphone ear phones at the gym listening to my iphone when running. they do not stay in the ear very well when running fast.

what are some good earphones (i like the ones that wrap around the ear) that are sturdy and decently priced with quality sound?

help much appreciated, thanks guys.

Nothing but positive reviews from me regarding these:

They're better than the out of the box earphones in every way as far as sound and fit are concerned (I personally liked the feel of the controls on the Apple headphones much better and I liked them in white as well)

I have a set, and they sound great.

I personally dont like them for gym use though because they sound best when firmly plugged into your ear and moving around at the gym they tend to come a little loose and pull out a bit.

Just get a regular pair that wraps around your ears for running.

I use these you posted in that link, they're called (JVC HA-EBX85. We just bought them randomly, my family goes through so many headphones. I like the hearhook ones best because I always run and do a lot of moving around, those types stay best in my ears.

I have some $10 pair from Marshalls.




I find that any of them with silicone on the end work best. They usually come with a few bits that fit to different sized ears.

Do you really need to spend $200 on fucking gym headphones?! Unless you actually use them outside of the gym.

(Not ripping on ZJP, but he asked for gym headphones...)

bang and olufsen a8. comfortable, sound quality amazing for earbuds, and they do not fall off at all. lot of knock offs, so don't be fooled and buy from an approved retailer or local store.

I have $40 sonys right now since my A8s fell out of my bag, friend unzipped one of the compartments to get something and i forgot to zip it back up on my way out, fell out on my way to class.

Every suggestion above is incorrect. I hold the secret to the best gym earbuds ever made. I will only release this valuable info in trade for nudes of Chelsea.

I have the Etymotic Research HF5's. I love them.

Before those I had the 6i Isolators... they were good too.

I swear to god these are the absolute best headphones for working out on the earth. They never ever fall off when biking or running for hours. I sweat a lot and have basically submerged these guys in ear sweat and they have no problems. They don't sound as good as a nice set of Sennheisers but they are cheap and hold on to your ears. Walgreens sells them for $6-7 and some times has them on sale. I have owned 4 pairs for about 2 years now and never had a single issue.

You need to just start your own "I need advice thread", because you post a new thead asking OT for something or another just about every week.

i was thinking about the sennhesier sport wrap buds but after reading into them seems they aren't worth the $.
