Headphone/earpiece info needed

DrWu

I have been having problems with the iPod ear buds crapping out when I am working out. I got sweaty ears. Seems like the moisture fucks up sound on the buds. I am not using the foam covers that came with them (and god knows where they are). Would they solve this problem? What are other options/recommended earpieces?

C'mon people help a brother out. I can't hear those jams when I am pumping iron. What's good in terms of athletics and quality headsets.

I just got the Sony MDR-EX85LP earbud joints for $50 and they're GREAT. You can spend more for some really good ones but these are well worth the $ for comfortability and performance.

if you want sound isolation earbuds and incredible sound go with the Shure E4C's now called SCL4 PRO.


A buck-fifty on ebay, but trust me.. well worth it. If you do decide on getting them, I strongly suggest keeping them in the pouch they provide ALWAYS -- I didn't.. and one earbud gave in on a recent trip and the cost of getting them fixed is almost as much as a new pair. Also, tons of options for earbud shapes & sizes.. making them very comfortable for long hours of listening.

Anybody rock the earbuds while DJing?

I know one guy that does so and swears by it.

Are these suggestions sweaty ear approved? Thanks for all the info. I think I have a channukah wish list now.

I'm a sweaty motherfucker, dude. I dunno, I'm just saying.
