New Head-Fier
My wife is a bit jealous of my new collection of audiophile gear I got for Christmas and finally has expressed an interest in getting a pair of her own hi-fi headphones, but she wants to use them while she works out, which pretty much limits her to wireless, securely fitting, sweat resistant type stuff. So, for mother's day, I picked up a pair of Powerbeats 3 from Wal-mart hoping they'd be worth the $140. Well, I've heard bad things about Beats and I guess I should have listened because after setting them up and having a listen, I didn't even let her try them. The sound was horrible. I've heard much cheaper earbuds that sounded better, and I was looking for premium sound.
I tried doing a little research, but began wondering if the phones I was looking at had good sound for wireless earbuds or if there were options out there that really could compare to some high end cans. Most of the high end stuff doesn't seem to be wireless or appropriate for working out either. Also, I tried looking at "A Basic Guide to In-Ear Canal Phones" here but the link seems to be broken.
Anyway, does anyone have any recommendations or advice for me? What are the absolute best-sounding wireless in-ear options out there?
