    Headphones for training

    Basically I have some money saved up. What headphones do you guys use for training? Wireless preferred since I always yank that damn chord when I move.

    Monster I-sport they are the BEST I saw them in a few magazines as rated the highest for several reasons..they are Bluetooth so you just sync them too your phone..they are pretty loud,easy to use and stay in your ear really well..less than 100 dollars brand new on e-bay and I've had them 10 months not one issue..couldn't speak higher of a headphone!!no, iam not a spokesperson but I would be

    I love my beats. I have wireless studios (over ear) and wireless power beats and can't complain about either. Yes they are expensive but IMO nothing compares to beats studios when it comes to bass. For in ear, I would agree with kingkong about the isport... I had them but not the bluetooth ones and they sounded just as good as my powerbeats but at half the price.

    Im'a gonna have to invest in a good wireless pair soon. I must find one that will get me trough 12h playback (even if that's a possibility) and I was gonna look in to over ear cup type ones with noise cancellation features, but market is just ridiculously over-saturated with choices which most of them are biased with marketing and reviews that dont match the reality.... and real good stuff for the most part is always there but just need to dig deep under the knockofs and other trash to find them.
    I am audiophile type enthusiast, and if there is few clicks, some bass leak, high pitch Hz here or there slipping where not supposed to, I dont slide with it. life is a bitch choosing ideal product

    yo wont believe what Im using and it actually produces very decent sound deadening effect plus the Hz diapason is very wide, bass is deep and high pich is not too metalic but just right... wanna try guess?

    Original old nokia N900 earbuds, model name: WH-205, same as old sony walkmans, miracle in a peanut size old tech stuff



    these cables have been trough war with me and they sound so damn good its just hard to throw them out and buy something else so I keep shuffling and suffering with them damn cables

    Beats ear buds. Love.

    They don't work loose when running. Good sound.

    Its damn annoying to have ppl wearing headphones, should be forbidden.

    You want to ask how many sets left or whatever, and nobody can hear you.

    I train alone in my basement and no one wants to train with me! I don't think I'm being rude to anyone but I'd like the opportunity for once, dammit!

    I never ask how many sets they have left. I just say"you don't mind if I work in do you?" Then they just say sure and move on

    There's not one person in my gym without headphones on..I really could not workout without music I find myself not being able to concentrate or get in the right frame of mind esp with everyone around me grunting and puffing..that's just me though I never talk to anyone a quick point at the machine or rack explains it all..

    Thats why I dont understand why you need headphones, dont want to disturb the neighbors??? Guess what, they are already disturbed when you drop the heavy ass weights

    Its exactly what I mean. You start talking to to someone and they dont even realize you are there cause of the loud music in their ears, you have to literally stand in front of them or touch them so they remove the stupid headphones.
    The problem is not "working in", the problem is to be able to communicate. I couldnt even warn'em if something was falling on their heads...

    There's already music in my gym, and no one really shouts or grunts too much unless he wants to be mocked... Personally don't care about which music is on, I'm not there to listen to music, I'm there to train hard.

    I dig headphones/earbuds because I cant stand listening to some pop/classic playing trough gym speakers almost on the full blast, I just create my own noise Im akin to and the war is on for me, my music creates my private environment for me.

    besides, if someone wants to ask me something, they have a hand, reach out and poke me if I cant hear them and its important.

    Plus I heard the iPhone 7 will come with wireless Ear buds. And an adapter that allows you to use your old earbuds.

    Wireless Beats man. The only problem is my gym at work doesn't get wireless service, so I can't do Pandora or any other streaming music. I have to load the music on my phone or an MP3 player and do it like that. Kind of a pain in the arse
