Hey guys,
I listen to music and podcasts on my daily commute to and from work. I also listen to music at the gym and jogging on the street.
I have gone through countless pairs of in-ear headphones and they simply don't work for me. Super-fi 4vi, A-Jays One, Etymotics and Sennheisers. They've all given me ear pain, I can never manage to get them to fit properly using multiple tips, I get wax build up on the tips, and just a general nuisance for me no matter how much I want them to work. Additionally, none have lasted more than 4 or 5 months and have just died on me. The stock apple buds work fine for me though in terms of comfort, I guess because they don't stick in far.
I was about to get the Bose IE2 In-Ear simply due to comfort because they don't really stick deep in ear. However I realised they'd be useless on the train with the loud noise as they won't isolate.
Out of all the in-ear headphones I've tried, the A-Jays One were the most comfortable for me. However they did require some fiddling and the connector to the 3.5mm jack broke after a few months.
Where to now? Do I get a pair of small closed on-ear headphones? This would work for my commute but not for the gym unless they were particularly small.
I was thinking of getting a pair of Sennheiser PX200 or Marshall Major headphones for the commute, and for the gym either sticking to the stock Apple earbuds or getting something like the Koss KSC75.
Anyone have any similiar experiences or can make any recommendations?
