Best headphones for working out?

I just got my first ipod (5G) so I am not familiar with what headphones create the best sound for it...I will mainly be using it while I work out so I won't want to use big 'ole "earmuffs"...any suggestions?

I've tried many, many different kinds of phones with my iPods over the last 2 years. I own several isolater-style phones from SHURE , ER, and Sony and they sound superb but for working out isolaters reflect too much of my breathing sounds. They also feel mushy in your ear after you start to perspire.. Unless your club has really loud music to tune out, I'd avoid isolator-types, and if you do, pick the soft plastic tips over the foam ones!
Believe it or not, the best listening experience I've found for working out is the Koss KSC-75 Sport Clip-On Headphones.
These clip on to your ears but they are completely comfortable- unlike every other clip-on type I've ever tried.
They currently retail for $13 at some retail websites, and the sound is tremendous. I enjoy listening to music on these more than even my isolators. They are that comfortable and great-sounding.
heres a review on a website that does a good job of reviewing phones by usage categories.

I'd give them a try-

  • Best headphones for working out? Shure E2C or Bose In ear TriPort?

    I want some good headphones for my Nano (2nd gen) while I'm working out (jogging).
    My wife gave me the Bose In Ear TriPort for Xmas, and while the sound is very good, the right tends to "loosen up" easily. I can return within 30 days, hence I need opinions on other headphones for working out.
    I have read positive reports on the Shure E2C and the Sennheiser MX 70.
    Does anybody have any experience using these headphones during workouts? I am looking for great sound but more importantly, a set of in ear phones that stay secure while working out. I do not want heavy bass either.
    All opinions are appreciated.
    Thanks

    I have the E2c and they are great. The only caveat I have are the sleeves. It comes with 3 types, flex, soft flex, and foam. They all come in 3 sizes also. The best fit that works for me are the foam. They stay in your ear and provide excellent isolation.
    Here is the site to read about them.

  • Where to find the best application for cleaning out my MacBook Air with OS X 10.7.5? I've been using MacKeeper but believe it's slowing down my laptop considerable.

    where to find the best application for cleaning out my MacBook Air with OS X 10.7.5? I've been using MacKeeper but believe it's slowing down my laptop considerable. Thank you.

    How to maintain a Mac
    1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; make them independent of each other. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
    2. Keep your software up to date. In the Software Update preference pane, you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis. This is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible.
    3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this stuff is useless, or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
    The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
    As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Use your computer; don't fuss with it.
    Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception to the above rule. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction.  Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
    Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    4. Beware of trojans. A trojan is malicious software (“malware”) that the user is duped into installing voluntarily. Such attacks were rare on the Mac platform until sometime in 2011, but are now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
    There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
    Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be acquired directly from the developer. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from a web page without your having requested it should go straight into the Trash. A website that claims you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, is rogue.
    In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
    Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
    5. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem. While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage consumption and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
    If storage space is running low, use a tool such as the free application OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move rarely-used large files to secondary storage.
    6. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
    The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

  • Best Practice For Working on Composite In Team

    Hello,
    I would like to know what is the best practice for working on a single composite by mutiple members in a team.
    We have a core services module wherein a single composite contains many services. So, to complete in time, we would like many members to work on it simultaneously.
    In such scenarios, if some one adds a new adapter or some other services, composite.xml changes.
    Saving it would override other member's changes. Also, it is not possible to apply lock simultaneously on the same file through some version control mechanism.
    Please let us know what should be the best practice in such scenarios.
    Thanks-
    Ashish

    You can very well use a version control software with JDev. You may refer -
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/soa/jimerson-config-soa-355383.html
    I think without version control mechanism (like subversion) it won't be easy to work in a multi-developer environment. If you really don't have a source and version control mechanism then manual merging will be required which may be error prone and time & effort consuming.

  • Newest iPod nano or newest iPod shuffle for working out?

    I plan on getting a new iPod for working to keep from using my iPhone all of the time and draining the battery. Which would be better for working out taking into consideration that sweat would be an issue? Also will the clips work really well during a lot of movement?

    The clip works well and I've been able to use mine in places where moisture does not get to it (also get a plastic insert for the dock connector or keep it pointed down). You can also get waterproof cases.
    That said, if I am really concentrating on my workout I prefer the Shuffle as it is cheaper and I'm not distracted by a screen.

  • What is the best iPhone headset for working out?

    The stock headphones suck because they constantly fall out of my ears. The in-ear headphones aren't out yet, and might not even work with iPhone. Does anyone have a good/not super expensive recommendation for a headset with inline mic which won't fall out of my ears?
    Thanks!

    Don't know what super expensive means, but I workout with my Ultimate Ears earbud and am really happy with them - great sound, made for iphone, mic, etc.

  • Best practices for working with large placed bitmap images?

    Hey all,
    I need some advice on the best way to approach building these files. I've been working on some banners that are very large: 3 x 7 feet.
    Each banner has a simple vector graphic treatment at the top and bottom (rectangle with a different colored rule on top, and vector logo) and a small amount of text, just a URL and a headline.The headline is type (not converted to outlines) and usually has some other effect applied to it, say a drop shadow or outer glow. Under these graphics is a full bleed image. The placed images need to be 150ppi at actual size, so they're honking big, sometimes up to 2GB. Once the layouts are approved, they have to go to a vendor for output.
    The Illustrator docs are really large, and I've read in other threads how to combat that (PDF compatibility, raster settings). But even still, does anyone have any insight into the best way to deal with these things? The dimensions are large, and then the images are large, and it just makes for lots of looking at the spinning ball of death...
    If it were me, I'd build them in InDe, but the vector graphics need to be edited for each one, and I so don't like to do that in InDe unless forced. To me, it's still ultimately a page layout app, not a drawing app. (Old school here.)
    FYI, our machines are all MBPs with 8G ram and the latest Intel Core 2 Duo chips, 2.66 and 2.8GHz. If we keep the files local (as opposed to working on the server) it should be fairly zippy... No?
    Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

    You can get into memory trouble with very large placed pdf files. Tiffs too.
    This has to do with the preview, which contains much more information than you need for working with.
    On the other hand if you place EPSs and take care not to turn on overprint preview you can get away with huge files.
    If you do turn on overprint preview your machine will slow down a lot and the file may become totally unmanageable.
    Compare this with to InDesign where you can control the quality of the preview. A hi-res preview will slow you down and most often you don't need it anyway.
    I was working (in Illie) the other day on much larger files than you mention – displays for whole walls – and had some considerable trouble until I reverted to the old EPS format. They say it's dying but it ain't dead yet .

  • Best Headphones for the X-Fi Fatal

    Ive been searching the internet EVERYWHERE for the best 5. headphone setup im willing to spend 250 max.
    I like headphones cause they are not as noisy. (i li've in an apartment complex)
    Can you guys please help me in the search for the best headphones?!
    All the help and advice is greatly appriciated! =]

    First of all, there is no such thing as true 5. headphones. 5. headphones was a huge failure in the first place. All the 5. headphones I tested sounded like crap, nothing close to quality stereo headphones. All the top dog headphone companies like Sennheiser, AKG, Grados, beyerdynamic would've start making 5. headphones if it gained popularity and practical functionality, but it hasn't.
    Don't waste your time and money on someone's research project go out and get a pair of quality stereo headphones instead.
    Sennheiser's HD595 is a good starting headphone. Shipdog.com currently has them for $48 (retails for $300)

  • What's the best solution for audio out of sound files from a MacBook Air to both an amplifier and to a subwoofer amplifier? I'm using the MBA to play sound files for worship services at our church.

    I have a MacBook Air (13", 1.7GHz, 8GB RAM, 500GB SSD) that I'll be using to play sound files (primarily organ and piano) for worship services at my church. We'll be using a QSC RMX2450 650 Watts/Channel amplifier with Community CPL-27 speakers and also a JBL SUB 250P powered subwoofer with its own amplifier. What's the best option for getting sound out from the Mac to both of these amplifiers? 

    if you work with own recorded sounds you might wanna have a music program where you want to work with samples, steinberg has got very good ones (so they say)... but their really really ( ²) expensive(that's why almost no one haves them), magix haves good ones too bu their more for 'unprofessional' use, ableton haves really good ones too and they're not to difficult to use (if you know a bit of those programs you learn very quickly) and if you don't get them, there is a sort of manual built in it which explains and lets you do things to start (basics)
    i hope this helped, btw stereo speakers are always better if you buy good ones (no pc speakers), but if you don't think you need them, don't buy them...
    so again, i hope you have some ideas now

  • Best Headphones for x-fi fatali

    Hello,
    i am planning to buy a soundblaster x-fi fatality next week.
    Currently i am using the speedlink medusa 5. headset, but i am not pleased with this headset.
    As long as i am buying a quite expensi've (imo) soundcard, I want the headset to match perfectly to that card.
    I am going to use the headphones for the following purposes: playing games (Battlefield 2, Everquest 2, GT Legends, Age of Empires II) and listening to music.
    I thought about buying the Sennheiser PC 60 Headset, but i am afraid, that this one doesn?t fit exactly to the x-fi: i read in a test, that the simulated surround sound works best with headphones, that cover the whole ear (hope that you know what i mean).
    Does someone have experiences, with this hardware combination?
    Or can you recommend some headsets?
    Maybe it'ss even better to buy some good headphones and use a seperate microphone?
    Thanks in advance for your help

    You should do a forum search on this topic - it has been posted a few times and the responses contained the info you seek.
    Good luck with your new card. I have a fatalty and like it very much. You will love how good BF2 sounds.

  • Is Aperture 3 the best software for working on a databse of images from different photographers?

    Hi everybody,
    I have only been using Aperture for a few months and am unsure of its suitability for this project.
    It seems to me that Aperture is designed for the photographer who wants to work on his own photos. I need to select, re-name, add metadata, keyword & eventually improve photos & re-size photos to be used on a website. Photos come from all over the world & different copyright names & rights.
    In my previous job, I  used XnView for PC for the selection, renaming & metadata process  & Extensis Portfolio for adding keywords & Photoshop for working on technical improvements, I would like to know whether somebody out there uses Aperture (3) for much of this process.
    Can you share an ongoing project over 2 different computer owned by 2 different people in Aperture 3 updating each simultaneously?
    I will work on some photos on my computer and other photos at my client's house. I presume that I will have to export the photos that I work on on my computer to my USB stick in order to be able to read the information that I have saved on my computer on her computer??. It seems that even if one chooses to save photos to the original file and thus work on 'managed masters', it doesn't save over the original file. I have just done some more work on this photo database on my computer I decided to save to 'referenced master', ie: the aperture library.
    However, when I want to continue working on this big project, I want to update the aperture photo library on my client's Aperture library, do I have to export the work I have done in my computer in Aperture to my USB stick and then re-import on the other computer to keep all the images up-to-date, this will be an ongoing situation. Can this work? I cannot see a way of joining the Aperture library from 2 computers in another way.
    I have just read this article: http://www.apertureexpert.com/tips/2010/2/12/aperture-3a-game-changer-multiple-m acs-syncing-projects-more.html
    It's very good but, I still don't understand how to take my edited images worked on in Aperture from my computer to my client's one. Do I have to connect the computers and if so how is this done?
    I have also read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7863
    If I want to constantly update each Aperture library when switching computers, do I have to follow this procedure of exporting the photos as a library from one computer to another with the updated images?
    I really appreciate any clear help I can get from this forum.
    Thank you in advance!

    Aperture would be fine for a single editor editing images from multiple photographers. It would not work well (if at all) for multiple people trying to edit the same library.
    so the answer to this:
    Can you share an ongoing project over 2 different computer owned by 2 different people in Aperture 3 updating each simultaneously?
    is no.
    I will work on some photos on my computer and other photos at my client's house.
    The images at your client's house will be from where? Will the client have  Aperture running in the house on there computer?
    Apart from those two the rest of your post is a bit impenetrable.
    But a few thoughts you can mull over:
    You could put the Aperture library on an external drive and carry the drive between locations. If you wanted to leave the library of a part of the library there you could copy to the clients drive (if you're leaving the whole thing) or else export the projects/albums/images as a library and have the client import that into there library (or just run it as a standalone library)

    What is the best workflow for the following--

    As a video guy, in Final Cut I do this by having two identical copies of my media, and simply transferring the FCP project file back and forth between the two computers.
    Is there an equivalent in Aperture of transferring your selections/edits between two copies of Apeture with the original master files on both in identical projects?

  • Best laptop for working with after effects

    I need a laptop for work with adobe after effects and some others. Anyway I need laptop wich will not cost more than 1400€ and which will have inside intel core i7, 4 GB of memory or more and Nividia graphic card. Somthing more pls dont say the apple is the best beacuse i dont like it very much.
    Thanks.

    4GB is a rather small amount of RAM for working with After Effects. If you can get a computer with more RAM, I recommend doing so.
    For After Effects CS5, the graphics card (GPU) doesn't matter as much as RAM and CPUs, so focus on RAM and CPUs first.
    In general, a laptop is not going to give you the same performance as a desktop computer of the same price. If you need a laptop, fine; but don't be surprised when performance isn't as good as you might like.

  • Best practice for checking out a file

    Hello,
    What is the SAP best practice to check out a file? (DTR -> EDit or DTR -> Edit Exclusive?)
    What are pros and cons of checking out a file exclusively?
    Thanks
    MLS

    Thanks Pascal.
    Also, I think if a developer checks out exclusively, makes changes and leaves the company without checking in, the only way is to revert those files in which case all his changes will be gone.
