This company offers several different headphones. Which one should I get? I will only use while working out. I'm not very picky about sound quality.

This is the model that I bought which lasted only for a few months - the problem is the on and off switch is not done properly and it is the first one that gets broken. I highly recommend NOT to buy this item.

Not so good for working out, they will fly off and are a little heavy. These are better for plane or train trips. Plus when you have the sound reducer on, the head phones make a little noise that bothers me, but I may be just being a little picky on the last part.

As a guy who runs myself I prefer an in ear headphone to an over the ear model such as this. My suggestion is to check out the Sennheiser Precision model cx 300-ii. These have plenty of umph in the bass department without emptying your pocket book.

Theses headphones are very good but now i have found that the monster n-tune and N-pulses are THE best headphones i own.The n-tunes maybe the best because of sound and size.my advice is if you have the money buy one of the monsters,if the akg's are cheaper then the akg 67's are really nice.but my advice would be to buy one of the monsters because they sound great with ALL kinds of music. Theyy should not be that much more than the akg's,let me know how everything turns out please, I'm very interested to hear from you and your opinion on your pick.

I had the same problem with (much, MUCH more expensive) Sennheiser CX400 earbuds - it was awful. I could hear my *hair*, who wants to listen to their hair? Unfortunately, i'm pretty sure all earbuds that have the sound isolation via making full contact between the rubbery part that sits in your ear, and your ear canal itself, are going to conduct some cord noise. No matter what, the cord must be attached in a way that is so integral to the construction that conductivity is a matter of physics. I find these significantly less objectionable than the Sennheisers, in fact I'm not bothered at all (maybe I got used to it?) But with the sound at a decent volume it's hardly noticeable. I really like these (I saw this post when I came looking to buy another pair or two in different colors). So I tried an experiment, on your behalf -- I put the earbuds in my ears, then draped the cord around the back of my neck. I then simulated moving around (hey, I wasn't about to get up off the couch :) by taking the remaining free part of the cord and whipping it around. Not bad, not bad at all. At the resulting length, you'd need to carry your music player approximately at your waist, and with that wrapping strategy it will minimize the cord hitting against things. Bottom line, at the price (plus, doesn't Amazon give you five bucks of free mp3s if you buy them? they did my last pair), go for it, they're better than Sennheisers at three or four times as much money, so ... what the heck, right?

Hi John, I bought these mainly for TV viewing when my wife wants quiet, the volume control was a big plus for me. They have good sound, great noise cancellation, but are pretty bulky. They are fine for working out , including rowing and elliptical, and lifting. I think they would be uncomfortable to run with, and probably would slosh around. Although they do have a snug yet comfortable fit. Hope this helps. Steve

As previously stated, these do stay on without issues but I would not wear them while exercising. Not only would you not want to bump them (especially with a metal barbell or something similar) but your ears would get a little hot and the Beats are not sweat resistant. I recommend you look elsewhere if you want headphone a for exercising. Bose makes a few sweat resistant earbuds that I recommend, Sennheiser has a sweat resistant earbud, and even Beats make similar earbuds though they weren't comfortable for me and their sound quality was lacking.

Sorry for such a late response. I'm just now coming across this. If you've already made another purchase I hope you're happy with it. If not, I would recommend any in ear headphone if the humidity issue is due to sweat. Personally I've been experiencing with bluetooth headsets "in ear" for working out. Haven't found one to recommend so far. Hope this helps.

Glad to help...People often see to be able to tell when I am using the headphones....when in low to med noise environments the output is great. Seemingly the headphones do not defeat exterior noise so the result is often a mixture of everything that is going on my side of the call. Functionality is awesome...as long as you're in an enviro that is not noisy you will love 'em.

niether do I. yes you hear things...it's disturbing but the headphone has really good bass response and it's very comfortable while exercising. taking everything into account it's well worth buying...

I've tried working out with these before, they tend to fall out depending on how rigorous your exercise is. If you like the brand, then I would suggest getting the A5i Sport. They fit over the back of your ear and are nearly impossible to knock off unless the cord gets jerked. http://www.klipsch.com/image-a5i-sport-headphones

I've been using mine for working out at a gym and I haven't had any malfunctions due to sweat. But the manual for these headphones say that sweat may cause damage to the internal parts. So I guess I've just been lucky ? . Hope this helps

beats and bose are the 2 worst brands for headphones. Just look at something from audio technica, beyerdynamic, sennheiser (be careful though with the cheap stuff), or vmoda (insanely good build quality). The vmodas are like beats style-wise, but they sound way better and you can literally step on them and bend the headband flat without breaking them.

Joe, maybe in the light rain. I used mine about 6 times working out. Said they were sweat resistant....whatever that means. They shorted out and they were kind enough to offer to replace them once, but with wanting something to workout in I spent the extra money on a brand that was made to workout in. If its just rain and not a lot and you don't sweat a lot you should be OK. If you do, then I would get a better pair. You really do get what you pay for in BT headsets.

Sweat resistant? I've seen no problem with them when I work out. I do some pretty intense workouts too. Just don't let them get yanked out of your ear. Had to glue mine back together! Hahaaa

In my experience with Skullcandy headphones, they are more about looks than quality. I would go with Sony because they are better quality (Sound and structure-wise) and they have comparable prices.

I think the sound is much better, the controls work good too. I train on my bike and in the gym and sweat a lot, but idk how water resistant they are. If you get some noise canceling tips that fit tight the bass is better though.
