Hey guys I narrowed down my choices for a running pair of headphones to take with me to the gym I listen to trance, techno and the like so bass is pretty much a factor. Since im running I need them to be durable and not like my last 5 pairs of headphones that all broke within a year... Most of all i need them to be comfy so I dont just think about how my ears hurt that would hinder my running. So which one is it? The price range is the same..... cx300, ep630, mdr-ex75, AH C351 ?

I'd go for the EX85 or EX90 instead of EX75, but I also really like Sennheiser's sound-go for the CX400 instead of the CX300.

Actually-look at the Sony AS series and Sennheiser's sports range-as these are designed for sports/active use.

 

[jzhang1013]

well if you had my choices which ones would you go for?

 

[jzhang1013]

no more input from others?

 

[roxxor]

CX95's?

I hate J cabling (one earphone has longer cord than the other - like the cx300 has), especially for sports.

j cables have bad microphonics imo.
i think that all canalphones are comfortable too.
I also think that most entry-level canalphones have decent bass.
I have cx-400 and ah-c351.
i think if you are for better microphonics and bass you should go for cx-400 to wear over the year. or ep-630

ok so the only ones that dont have a j cable are the sony and the creative, so i decided to go with a ex85 as there is only a 5$ difference between the 75 and the 85. hope I make the right choice guys...... to accompany my shuffle..

 

[voicemaster]

From the list, i would get AH-C351.

 

[jzhang1013]

voicemaster, that was my number 1 choice as I searched and founc your numerous posts of the denons however they are j cable and have and extension so running with them would be messy, but I do like the bass, might get the 551 for casual via your recommendations

 

[voicemaster]

C551 will definitely satisfy you with it's awesome bass.

If you have more to spend, try the aurvana inear,audi is rich & noise was isolated completely... the comfort level was still there after few hours of use I like the accessories it comes with.. especially the cleaning kit, nice & convenient cleaning solution

the white one looks more for ipods

 

[jzhang1013]

ok sad day today guys.... I received my ex85s and they were in blue instead of black, but it's fine. when i opened the package it was j cable and extension required, everything I hate for a gym IEM.....

I should have gotten the denons if I wanted this..... The only thing that blasted me away literally was the bass, they are a keeper, but the sad thing is they probably wont last 3 to 6 months with me in the gym...

I will take it for a run next week and see if they are too distracting and fragile....

 

[jonathanjong]

you know...the CX300 and Denon 351s were all j-cabled...
