I have er4p but they are not good for the gym, they get allot of noise off the cord and fall out so I am looking for some good workout phones maybe something with a bit more bass for fun since crystal clear is not as important over the sound of a treadmill. Anyhow I have no idea where to go here maybe a over the ear phone I am using this with a ipod shuffle any suggestions.

i use a pair of super fi.3 studios for gym use, and I think they are great.

They isolate all of the jerks (women included) who talk very loud on their cell phone while hogging the equpiment that you are wanting to use.

how about the fi.5 pro is there a big difference? will I notice in a gym, bass is important. I am also considering the Shure SE210, what are the differences to the fi5?

I use Philips SBC-HS303 or the 310's. I prefer the sound of the 303's, but they are no longer made and very hard to find. The 310's are the newer version of the 303's and still being sold new on ebay. I just bought a couple pair for working outside, my spouse, and backups. The seller had like 30 pair all new in the box and the price was right... cheap.

PGK, let me help you. I workout every day with my ER-4P/S including weight training, biking, etc...Don't suffer with other crappier earphones, the solution is very easy. Both these first 2 "mods" will reduce/eliminate cord noise.

1. Wrap a black twistie tie around both cords that split off going up towards your ears. The kind of twistie tie that closes garbage bags or other stuff. Cut off the excess ends that are leftover. Wrap the tie somewhere in the vicinity of your lower neck area (height), or wherever feels comfortable.

2. After inserting both earphones, wrap the cord back around your ears Shure style. If the twistie tie is in the right spot, it will keep the cords pulled down and secured around your ears.

3. Buy the new Shure olive foamies (sleeves), med. are your safest bet if you have no idea what size you are. Just got these and they work great, will stay in your ears well and go in easy.

If you still struggle with keeping the cords wrapped around your ears, try wearing some type of hat or beanie cap (I use a beanie cap most of the time) and making it press down on the cords over your ears.
