Best cheap headphones for the gym?

[shineman]

I am looking for some decent sounding cheap headphones for my wife to use at the gym. I let her try my Sony EX 81's. She would rather have a headphone style with a band over the head. They need to be somewhat rugged for gym use. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Some Sennheiser px100s or some of the Koss Portapro types should work well.

I have ordered the PX100's from a hifi company here in Holland, they will arrive friday. The reasons I bought them:

I want a over-the-head style
They deliver very nice sound
They're easily foldable and storeable
They can be driven from my player (Well, it seems like it)
I like their looks a lot

Some smaller reaosns, like the offardable price, make them my choice.

blech! stay away from the PMX-60. (edit: they're grainy and shrill with muddy bass.)

if you want streetstyle, then go for the koss KSC-55, for $20. they've got the fun, 60ohm koss sound; they're a good, snug fit for the gym; and they're cheap enough that you won't mind giving them a workout... so to speak.
