Opinions on these headphones for the gym?

It depends on what activities you are doing in the gym. When you star to perspire the leather cushion around the earpad become very slippery.

I use these headphones regularly at the gym and they are great. I find smaller headphones and especially earbuds hard to keep with a lot of movement, but these stay in place, plus the sound quality is second to none and the ability to control volume and skip/repeat functions on the headphones keep me form having to continuously pick up my phone while working out.

I wouldn't recommend it. They make my head warm when I'm sitting at the office using them. Also, the material may soak up sweat and lead to a foul odor after a period of time. I would get a good pair of quality athletic ear buds for the gym.

No. They fit snug, but not enough for the gym. I tried doing pull ups and they would fall off. Plus the cord always fell out that inserts into the headphones themselves.

Hello Tuna,I really cant Compare the two do to the fact I have never owned beats,but I can tell you that, for the price they make great headphone for the gym. I hope I was helpful.

I really like them - I wear them all the time when I work out. The sound quality is very good. They fit in nicely into the ear. I have not had any issues with them as I have with similar type of products.

I love the sound of Fidelios but find them heavy for running/gym. For that I use Klipsh S4i which are lighter and sound almost as good.

I haven't used them in the gym but I do use them when I run, and there has been a few times cars have come up by me and I never heard them coming, and I have used them when the girlfriend is yelling at me, cant hear a word ahahahahaha. But I'm sure you won't hear anything in the gym, the headphones come with a few sets of different size ear pieces.

I've used these quite a few times at the gym. I looped the cables over my ears, and had zero problems. I haven't used them at the gym in a while though because they do not isolate sound as well as other earbuds that I have used, namely etymotic er4p and westone 3. If falling out is your only concern, these are fantastic. If sound isolation is also a concern of yours, maybe try looking at a pair of etymotic or shure and use the foam tips.

I have VERY sensitive ears so you asked the right person. I think you'll be fine. I wear them for two hours at the gym and sometimes I forget to remove them and wear them out to the car! I love these headphones especially for the price :-)

Great! It's really a great headphone. I use it everyday at the gym and they haven't bothered a bit

Yep. These are pretty great for exercising. I have been using them for about two years and one of the buds just now started to fade on me. For headphones this price and the sweat and wear that comes with working out with them, that isn't bad

Well, you plug them into your media player, put them on your head... Hah just kidding; I wouldn't recommend these for the gym. They would be too bulky and your ears would sweat so you'd be uncomfortable. The cord is way too long- you could use a rubber band or a cord clip to shorten it but it would still get in the way. Trust me, it's REALLLY long. Probably about six feet long- made for using in a bedroom setting listening to the TV. (The description probably says what the actual length is btw.) If you are willing to deal with an annoyingly long cord and sweaty ears while you are at the gym (presumably working out) then I guess these could work... unless you use the gym to, say... swim or do gymnastics. But why bother? You can buy cheaper, more practical headphones for the purpose of exercising. And also- if you want can-style because you think they're better at noise blocking- these won't work for you either. My earbuds actually block out twice as much sound as these headphones do, so if that's your case- pass on these. Hope that helps.

My only problem with them is too little bass. They are good for workouts because they stay put and reduce background noise. My Apple earbuds have better bass.

I use mine for cardio (DDR and running) and they stay on just fine. The only issue is that when you sweat a lot you have to dry your ears but other than that I love them. For weight lifting they also work fine. The only issue there would be when you lay down flat such as for doing bench press. They kinda move a bit so you have to fix them.

haven't tried that yet, but while working out, and it gets pretty noisy, I can't here the other machines while I'm listening, so I'd rate them about an 8 on noise cancelling. I'm thinking they would do just fine.

the bass is adequate..the on ear type headphone doesn't give you the bass as much as over the ear or in ear phones would. I don't use the trainer function. I don't think that these have blue tooth. They have an 8 GB hard drive to store music on. Loading the music is quite easy and you can have several playlists. The "wireless" description is that you don't have to connect to a phone or and ipod. It's a little deceiving that way.

Would be a good set of headphones for working out--very solid on your head.
