Hello,
 
Looking for over or on ear wireless headphones for strength training at the gym (light sweating). IEMs aren't comfortable/fall out for me.
 
-Need to be durable/reliable, don't want to spend a premium to break after a week in gym bag. Can do around 200-300 USD, or more if perfect match.
 
-Prefer to be bass heavy (rap, edm, metal), stylish would help too.
 
Thanks in advance!

Beats studio wireless would be good for you. It'll have a little less bass than, say the skullcandy anythings (exept maybe slayr) but still has a nice amount of bass and is $250 at Best Buy. And for all those people who absolutely hate beats and everything they stand for, they are designed for the average consumer, and supposed to mimic the sound signature of a live concert, which they do nicely.

I'm a little skeptical at buying beats, I always hear of them breaking for various reasons/having bad customer service. Maybe buying at best buy with warranty will solve that but idk, I'll look into it though thank you.
 
Other options still appreciated,

Well since Apple took over you'll be dealing with them for customer support. Apple has absolutely awesome customer support, if you ask me at least.
Also the build quality on them is rock solid. They feel absolutely solid and trust me, I beat the crap out of everything I own. What you have heard about beats was absolutely true before 2013, but they have come a long way since. I've had my studio wireless for 3 months now, and I won't regret purchasing them ever.
Also, one last thing. They have a one year defect warranty, and if they haven't broken due to defect in one year they probably won't afterwards.

Thanks for the reply - will take a trip to best buy and consider it after your positive comments about durability/warranties.
 
I also just found the V-MODA Cross Fade wireless which looks pretty cool/ durable / good bass as well. But may just get beats out of convenience.
