Best Headphones for the gym?
The pic related just died on me mid workout, they lasted me a solid 4 years though.
Save the money up for a set of wireless. It's worth the investment. Don't buy a cheap pair, get a nice one. Cheap ones the battery doesn't last near as long as advertised and quality is ass. Got the $200 Sol Republic for $70 on black Friday and they're worth it. Definitely wouldn't have paid the full price though.

>not buying the brand with free no questions asked lifetime replacement
B-but muh sennheiser!
yes yes goyim. buy these noise cancellation headphones.
I actually use the iphone ones, there pretty decent

I'm finding that if I loosely tie a knot at the center where the ear buds split they will last a lot longer. I wear mine with 1 ear in at work for about 8 hours and then another 1-2 t the gym afterward... $10 cheapos and $50 last about the same amount of time.

Mine always malfunction near the connection with the phone, because my phone is always in my pocket during workouts and the motions end up bending the cable
I just want a decent quality earbud that is durable and doesn't fall off of my ears easily
... ok maybe I'm asking a bit too much
>people becoming contrarians against cx-300s
I use yuin PK3 I rate 8/12 the wires are a bit flimsy and i bike a pair by getting caught on a rack I walked past

I dont like having a bulky smartphone in my pocket when I lift, so I use a little mp3 player with a radio receiver in it, much lighter weight and compact so it doesnt break there for me.. just at the center split usually.

Does anyone else get the feeling of head congestion when they wear earphones during strenuous activity?
I don't wear them for that reason, that and I feel less situationally aware.
I use Meelectric M6s. The memory wire can be kind of a hassle to get just right, but they stay in even when I'm sweating; the cord was excellent, flexible, didn't grip and tangle against itself or other things; and they sound pretty good, especially for the price.
I used to use Koss Fitclips. They're almost the reverse of the M6s. The silicone thing around the ear worked really well, and they were always comfortable and well seated. But the cord sucked, just turning my head made it pull on my ears because it dragged against my jacket, and it tangled constantly. The sound wasn't terrible or anything, but I was kind of spoiled by the quality per dollar of the M6s.
I've never experimented with more expensive headphones for the gym. I leave that for at home (ODAC+O2 to Sennheiser HD 650 right now).

Yeah, this is why I wear those "pad on top of the ear" style headphones when I run. Some crappy 10$ from Walmart things.
>>35198489
Not trying to shill, honestly
but the best pair of headphones I've gotten have been a 35$ pair of sony outdoor/athletic headphones
they are in ear, but wrap around your ear as well for support
I play basketball and dunk, and they don't fall out of my ears
It's good if you want to exercise with music and still do explosive movements in your workout without having to worry about your earbuds flying out.
And they sound decent enough.
Better than buying a 200$ pair of headphones and the motherfuckers breaking like clockwork lol.

Sansa clip +.
Like 35 bucks, expandable memory, and super small and lightweight.
Also clips on your clothes, it's not a /g/ meme I swear.
>>35198489
It's either xiao mi pistons v2 or go fuck your mother.
They sell these at Target for like 20 bucks a pop. Lame marketing aside, they're my favorite by far. The sound quality is good enough for me because I'm not an audiophile and I've never had them fall out. I've had my phone fall out of my pocket and the jack disconnect before the earbuds fell out. They let sound leak though, so if you're bothered by that I wouldn't recommend them. Although for work-out ear buds I prefer it because I can hear my surroundings while I run.
My only gripe is that they pick up ear goop and the rubber tips get loose over time because of it. But every few weeks I'll remove the tips and swish them in some soapy water and it's good again.
Honestly, I'd pay >100 bucks for high quality earbuds/headphones for enjoying music sure but if I'm getting earbuds for working out (which I know I'll beat the shit out of/risk losing) I'm looking for function. And these have decent sound quality as well.

I get the weirdest look from people who can over hear my aphex twin bumpin while wearing these.besides that best 20$ i ever spent on headphones

these are the fucking best
I'm thinking on buying the jaybirds since their price has dropped cause of the x2s. Anybody here has them?
>>35198541
I love them too, the problem is i can't fucking do cardio with them, they constantly unplug from either my ears or the treadmill. If only apple made wireless buds...
don't get bluetooth headphones, for the love of all that is holy don't get bluetooth headphones. trust me
Don't waste too much money, you want something to isolate but you won't really be in a environment where you will pick up the fine details of your music. So getting anything with superb sound will be a waste, given you will mostly use them at your workouts.
Tldr: Check /g/

Basically you learned you shouldn't use bluetooth headphones because you are too stupid to use the technology? Wow.
And why do you think people know it was you?
