Hello forum, first post here.
I'm looking for some recommendations for workout phones. My limiting factors are: I am a big male with a big head and neck (6ft 4 inches with a +22 inch neck), would like to spend no more than 100 dollars US, need to be sweat compliant or resistant. I will be using these with a Sandisk Sansa 4gb clip. I work out with weights, run, and mountain bike. I prefer balanced sound with no extra emphasis on base. I have learned that my workout equipment will probably be broken or lost before wearing out so I would like to stay in the one hundred dollar or less range. I currently use a cheap pair of Philips scb hs386 with an Insignia ns-da2g. My gf broke her matching player and "borrowed" mine hence the new clip. I recently bought a pair of Sennheiser cx300b rtl. They have a good sound, a bit base heavy with muddled mids, but don't seem to stay put well enough for me to really be moving around allot. Also, these have been "borrowed" for use around the house and grass cutting by the GF. I have been considering the Sony MDR-AS50G, Sennheiser MX-75 Sport, Sennheiser MX-70 Sport, the Nike/Philips around/bellow the neck active phones, and even the Koss KSC75.
I don't demand that the new phones blow me away when listening to "Bridge Over Troubled Water", one of my favorite tests' for speakers, in my price range but clear and balanced are a plus.
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
MoJoWales
