Good quality Earphones\Headphones Recommendation for playing basketball + running + general use

Thread Starter 

Im looking for some earphones or headphones, im not sure which type because i dont know what would be better suited for exercising and the sweating. I listen to hip\rap so i want some headphones with a good base.

I was looking at beats by 'dr dre' headphones except the price is outrageous and i've looked at reviews and surprisingly they're actually not very good.

Are these in-ear beats any good?  http://www.beatsbydre.com/products/showproducts.aspx?startBanner=2

Your money is better spent elsewhere. Sennheiser has some really sweet sport earphones.

They look good. But there is a MX 680i. Is that much different? And how is the sound on them, do they have good bass?

Just saying, people in Head-Fi are sick of (hates) Beats.

Everything I've read about the Beats (as much as I'd like to like them as well) are that they are not durable at all and very prone to failure.

Now that i heard that, I cant get them because my headphones have to be durable whilst exercising/basketball

 

Thank you everyone for your help. If anyone has any other suggestions please comment.
