Hey all, I am just wondering which would be the BEST pair of earbuds for the gym, I am tired of listening to weights hit each other and people going boom boom boom on the treadmill.. Not to mention the annoying music they play.

I am looking for a pair of earbuds that Block out sound very well, for uhm.. Under 70$? Thanks

ne-7m/pl50

Thanks for the response I'll order the PL-50's =]

I've always been a big fan of sennheisers mid-range IEM.

Sennheiser mx90vc

hey guys, sorry for bringing this topic back, I have just raised my budget to 400$

 

[dnullify]

Whoa! $400 seriously?

Are you sure you want to be wearing something like that to the gym?

in any case, have you considered a pair of custom IEMs? they're expensive, but you'll get great isolation.

what do you want out of these? something you'll use all around, and want high-quality sound from? or something to use exclusively with they gym. with that kinda money, i'd buy a cheap pair like the pl-30 or 50 and a nice pair of cans, or IEMs.

The best buds for 'staying in your ears' that I've had so far are the Westone UM1's, and the Denon AH-c252's.

Just get some JH5 pros. They're 400$ customs, stay in your ear perfectly, and block out most sound. (But I would never venture to call them earbuds.)

 

[RASeymour]

Yes, you need to stay away from buds and go with a custom IEM or an IEM with foam tips for isolation. The q-jays work fine for me. Good isolation and small. I wore ety4s for years but they stick out more and tended to get caught on equipment from time to time.

i wear my triple fi's to the gym everyday, and i have been for about a year now and they are fine. u would be suprised what IEM can go through

 

[dnullify]

That i can understand, durability is only an issue in some products... generally not UE. my sf.5 pro are built like tanks.

however, would you want to wear something in the $400, which doesn't have a replacable cable? accidents happen, i use my moda's for the gym, and multiple times i've had snags on machinery and such...

 

[Gbjerke]

yeah...400 for gym only is stupid. Get some CX380 or MX 85. Sweat resistant.

Haha.

Well, that opens up a ton of options.

It'll mainly come down to the type of sound you want and things like how they're worn (hanging, over ear, has a clip or not, even wireless).

Because you have a sizable budget and will be moving around a lot, I do think the cordless idea is desirable. You might look at Sleek Audio's SA6 with the wireless option (pricey but within your budget). You get a very good sound and a good deal of adjustability to boot.

Sennheiser IE8 are warm, rich, big sounding IEMs which stays in ear and has removable cable. Also Westone 3 fit perfect in most ears and they sound great with durable cable.
