Okay I know the "recommend me headphones for gym" question gets asked pretty often, but a search couldn't find the issues that I've had with my headphones.
First off, I've never owned an IEM, but I've considered some for on-stage monitoring. I'm not rich enough, yet, to own a $500+ custom IEM, though.
Anyways, I wanted a recommendation for a good bassy IEM that isn't easily broken and that I can run with, etc. I've gone through about 4 iPod headphones, and sometimes free weights just rip the cord around so they've all broken. I've also gone through a KSC-35, but stopped using it when the earpiece kept coming out.
Right now I'm using my Grado SR-60's for the gym, and while they sound great, they're a bit too big and the cord is too long and chunky, and the pads get really sweaty after time. Just looking to purchase something about $100 and there are quite a few options out there now... back when I was frequenting Head-Fi the only IEMs were the Ety 4 series.
