I'm considering these headphones to replace my Sennheisers and want to know if anyone knows which Polk model, the 500 or 3000 would potentially fit like the Sennheiser sport headphones, PMX70. The 3k's look like they go deeper into ear canal. I'm leaning to 500, as $100 is a lot for headphones that get beat up in the gym. Thank you for any input!

    Get the 1000 and they fit well in the ear canal for me, you may have big **** ears or little tiny elf-like ones....who knows. I don't find them to be any smaller then the usual in-ear types.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    Thanks for your feedback. I take it you prefer the inline controls on the 1K. I've read on competing headphones that these controls can be annoying while running and don't always work as advertised. Have you had any issues? Thanks again.

    No issues personally but I haven't turned triathlete lately either. I use a pair of Sennheiser with in-line controls and HAVE had issues with it shorting out but a replacement fixed that. It works as advertised since then.

    I own a pair of the 3000's and they sound great. They have very good SQ and the bass is nice. They come with different earbuds so you can choose the ones that best fit your ears for best SQ. I have never heard the Sennheisers but for 100 bucks they are great headphones.
