Hey all,

I've recently joined the gym, and as much as I'd love to use my Fostex TH900's there .. I have to be realistic

What would people reccomend for gym use ? My main genres of listening are EDM (drum'n'bass / dubstep), so would like something with a decent slam, would be nice, but if its at the sacrafice of a good soundstage it probably wouldn't interest me too much.

Wireless would be a big advantage.. and something that has the capability to go LOUD

A friend reccomended the Shure SE215 and reviews seem decent for these.., and another the Audiofly AF100W

I don't mind something thats not an IEM, as long as it would stay on reasonably well

Budget ... $200usd give or take.

Unfortunately as I live in New Zealand I don't have a huuuge range of stuff available to me to easily listen to .. but fire away !

Thanks all

If you are okay with Bluetooth earphone, you can consider Soul Run Free Pro HD. Good battery life (12 hours) and it sounds amazing to me

I'd go with the Sony MDR-AS800AP- it's lightweight (so they won't fall out of your ears), soundstage is fairly large and bass is also really good. I'm an EDM listener as well- these will do the trick

Thanks for the replies I'm going to check out the Sony WI-1000X this weekend.. They've got a lot of good reviews, and should be good for a gym newbie like me I think!

It'll be interesting to see how the neck band stays during some cardio stuff, however most of what I do is treadmill for cardio so I imagine it'll be okay, and I'm not doing bench pressing so I should always be in a position where the neck band won't fall off!

I'll post an update in the next few days

But there is no sweat proof function for W1-1000X. And the sweat might damage the leather at the neckband... if you are okay with this then proceed because it sounds really good.

Yeah I'm not too worried about that these are just cheap gym headphones to me, quality is of more importance to me.. They won't be my daily headphones

You are so rich! WI-1000x is considered as an audiophiles level headphones for most of the people in my country LOL.

Not really, I just invest my money into audio man, and I work hard.. Now I'm just a 32 or 33 year old audio junkie!

I haven't been to Singapore in about ten years, but last time I was there, electronics are considerably cheaper than New Zealand.. Sim Lim towers was like a candy store!!

Here Audiophile gear is Audeze LCD3/X, Fostex Th900mk2 and the likes.

I'll have to return to SG sometime
