Audiophile headphones for the gym?

bklynNupe

I’m currently using some Sony’s that rap around my ears, they are ok but I could use a little better sound quality. I know the ones that cover over your ear lobes seem to be the best but they are really not practical for the gym.
Any recommendations? Thanks.

Thanks, I just ordered a pair of the Sennheiser PX 100's for 39 bucks.

I'd spend an extra $5 and get the PX200

I should mention that the 200s are a different can altogether though, not just an upgraded version of the 100.

Thanks, I just upgraded to the 200, it cost me about 8 bucks more with the tax.
I know I would spend a lot more if I was buying them for the home.

Sennheisers are certainly nice headphones and those are good prices.

But for the gym, I'm kind of cheap...I've found the Koss 35As, often available on sale for a mere 20 dollars at RS to be the easiest and cheapest bang for your dollars as you will inevitably destroy those Sennheisers or the Koss's in short time...And the 200s look like they'd be a hassle to keep on your head with those cups? If you're moving at any rate!

Maybe the Koss is not quite as good....but man it's cheap/good!

I used to own the Koss Portapr about 10 years ago and they were pretty good. I just figured I'd try something different. Thanks.
