Hi all!

I'm looking to buy myself a new pair of excercise headphones and my prefered style is neckband, well, anything that just stays fit. IEMs are a no go for me, in all my life I haven't found ones that don't fall of..

I mainly listen to rock and blues. Please give me some recommendations in the 50$ price range. I've been searching the forums for over an hour and there are just so many threads, I can't search through them all.

Thanks!

Sennheiser PMX100

I was looking at PMX-70, which of those sound better?

 

[zumaro]

PMX100 are much better. This is one of the better cheap headphones out there - maybe even the best...

The Koss Sportapro phones are a great option for your needs. They're available for around $30 or less online.

Thanks but I don't like the design of Koss Sportapro.

Probably you don't understand the difference between earbuds amd IEMs.
IEMs don't fall of.

I probably don't, care to explain?

i personally wouldnt want to wear my iems while exercising theyd get cloged with sweat and other nasty stuff, and my ears couldnt breathe

ive had the omx 70, almost the same as the pmx but they clip over each year, so i can use it on a bike cause i can have one on and one off, and theyt dont fall off

The iGrados are another great alternative.

X2 on the iGrado's. These are definitely your best choice. $49.99

Grado iGrado

vlatko, earpuds are designed to sit in your auricle, they may fall of. The IEMs are placed in your earcanal, they're like tubes, it's very unlikely that IEMs fall of.

i was just about to ask for sport heaphone recommendations as well! well, i'm highly interested in this grado model, but it looks a little bulky. anyone try running with this thing? i run 1hr+, so they have to be comfortable and lightweight.

X3 on the iGrados
I tried them for a while and they sound suprisingly wonderful - better than PX100s I thought

i'm sure they sound fine.

but the next most important thing is how comfortable are they after running 10mi+ with those relatively huge things hanging on your ears??? we're talking 1hr+ of repetedly bouncing around, sweating enough to soak every piece of clothing on your body.
