Headphones for running/jogging

Any suggestions for headphones that can be used for running/jogging.
Here's some more detail:
I will use them 50% for running/jogging, 50% for general listening, sometimes on airplanes.
I was looking at the Etymotic ER-6i ($150 retail; $90 online), so that is my target price/quality range.
I am just concerned with ruining higher quality earphones by using them for running, BUT I want a decent-sounding pair for running (i.e. I don't want to just use a second crappy pair).
Any suggestions welcome. Thanks!

Hello maxwell:
Thank you for posting this type of question. Believe it or not, I hear questions like this quite often from people. Many people report that the standard issue Apple headphones hurt their ears. Also, these headphones don't tend to stay in your ear as well.
There are many headphones out there that sell for a lot of money, however, it sounds like for what you want them for, you need both a durable, yet portable pair of heaphones. Koss has a set of headphones that will blow your mind. They are basically earplugs with speakers attached to them. I used them in a car full of singing people, and with my iPod at about 1/2 volume, I could barely hear them. They do a great job of blocking out the world around you. Not only to they decrease the noise around you, but the quality of the sound they produce is amazing. I LOVE lifehouse and listen to them all the time. When I bought these headphones I put on some lifehouse, and I realized that ALL the headphones I had ever listened to had cut out some of the sounds in the songs. They were small things, but really high sounds, and really low sounds both come through on these headphones - something I really like. They are also the ONLY earbuds I have ever heard that have any good bass. Of course they aren't like having a subwoofer, but they are the next best thing. The cost, well, don't let it scare you into thinking they aren't good.

  • Need Good Headphones For The Gym...Thoughts?

    I have some cheap Nike Headphones for running, but these are the behind the head ones which will break if I'm doing any kind of weights where my head is back against a bench.
    I have been using the headphones which came with the iPod, but they keep falling out. This is very annoying.
    So...if anyone has had success with headphones (not behind the neck/head) which stay in your ears and are good for the gym, please let me know.
    Many thanks in advance!!

  • No.1 bluetooth headset or headphones for jogging

    Hey all, thanks for peeking!
    My criteria is....
    Stereo BT headset or headphones (mic isn’t critical but slightly preferred) for no more than $151 USD (not inc. post), that’s sturdy enough for regular jogging.
    It's for an iPod Touch 4G I'm about to buy.
    I’m trying to decide between…
    S10-HD
    BH-503
    BH-504
    BH-505
    Backbeat 903+*
    These are a bit too pricey for me I think.
    MM 100 (headset)
    PX 210 BT (headphones)
    Unless I can find somewhere that’s offering a bargain?
    Any thoughts on which you’d pick & why, or perhaps you have other suggestions?
    Not interested in adapters like the BH-214, want everything built into the headset/phone.
    Cheers/night
    Jed
    *doesn’t seem to be well distributed in Oz, so it may be knocked-off the list!

    Hey all, thanks for peeking! My criteria is:

    For no more than $150 USD (not inc. post), that’s sturdy enough for regular jogging.
    I’m trying to decide between…
    -BH-504 $105 AUD
    May be slightly better prices if I shop round a bit more, but this is close to the best.
    -MM 100 $208 AUD
    Talking to a few local retailers, if I can convince any to drop it to $200 AUD w/free post then I may bite.
    Any thoughts on which you’d pick & why? Not interested in different suggestions at this late stage.
    Also not interested in adapters like the BH-214, want everything built into the headset/phone.
    Scratched:
    -S10-HD
    Still not **ing available anywhere in Oz as far as I can see...
    And most of M's supposed "official retailers" don't have any of their headsets, or only have very old models prior to the S9 etc.
    -PX 210 BT (headphones)
    Too pricey & I need a headset "yesterday", so I'm not going to order overseas, even if I did I doubt I'd find it for $150USD anywhere.
    -BH-505
    Pretty cool all up, unfortunately there's just too much chatter about them breaking with excessive exercise/sweat
    -Backbeat 903+
    Not in Oz yet, poor distribution anyway. Many sources indicate that this (like the 505) is not terribly "ruggedised".
    I don't expect the S10 to be notably better or worse in other areas, but it's likely to be more "ruggedized".
    -BH-503
    Older tech than BH-504/505, uses BT 2.0 not BT 2.1 EDR, all reviews/commentary are notably older.
    Thanks again.

  • In-ear for running

    i'm surprised that the Creative in-ear earphone sound so much better than my previous sony in-ear earphone but it's not suitable for running as the wire always tangle, swings and eventually fell out. I am hoping that Creative can engineered a sport series wireless in-ear headphone and/or earphone that is engineered for running.

    You could get something like this
    http://www.amazon.com/iLuv-iEA15BLK-3rd-Party-Headphone-Compatible/dp/B002RL9WDQ
    which provides compatible remote control button.  Then, you can connect any set of headphones, including those Apple In-Ear headphones.

  • Bluetooth Headphones for Sport (BH-503 or other......

    Hi there,
    I need some new headphones for my Nokia N79 and thought I might try for some wireless ones. I like the look of the Nokia NH-503 ones. They're nice looking, have nothing that hangs round your neck like there are on most wireless headphones and they look like they clip on your ear for stability when jogging or something. I looked at the compatibility list and the N79 isn't on there. I emailed Nokia who confirmed that the BH-503 is not compatible with the N79 much to my shock and awe. I find this completely ridiculous. I was pointed in the direction of several innapropriate, ugly or expensive alternatives like the 504, 103, 903 and 604.
    Does anyone know if the BH-503 is actually compatible and that Nokia just haven't tested it so are saying it isn't?
    Looks like I'll be going for some wired non-Nokia branded headphones if not, which sort of sucks, I think.
    Thanks,
    Nick.

    Just in case anyone is interested, the Nokia BH-503 Bluetooth Headphone DO WORK with the Nokia N79 despite what Nokia UK have told me. I took the plunge and purchased them after being sure they should work based on the Tech Specs I've found and lo and behold they do. Amazing. They're excellent headphones and I'd highly recommend them!

  • 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.

  • Headphones for my MacBook Pro OS X.

    I am looking for headphones and I want a good price and good quality. I have checked the Apple store online but only find ipod or iphone headphones. Does anyone have suggestions for headphones?

    Do NOT i repeate DO NOT listen to users recommending Bose.
    They do not know their audio hardware, and are only drones to the endless Bose advertisements/Over hype.
    Bose is overpriced, avoid them they give you very little for the price they charge; and they will break eventually.
    Personally, i've learned from experiance that getting headphones, your money is best spent in the 180-250 dollar range.
    I can recommened some that i've used, and heard and researched very well
    Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro-80 @$180
    Over ear design, very good sound quality and isolation.
    <200 its VERY hard to beat.
    They may not last very long if you take them everywhere with you, these are best used in static locations.
    V-MODA Crossfade M-80 @$200
    Personally, these are the best phones i've come across for sound quality in the 0-350 dollar range, plus these things will literally last you decades. I've tossed mine off my friends 23rd floor balacony to see if i could break them. They were fine from this INSANE height, keep in mind they hit grass, not concrete.
    These are amazing mids-highs bass is realistic and not over the top.
    ON EAR design, so they are perfect for portable unit.
    V-MODA Crossfade LP2 @$130-199
    Over ear version of the above, just not as good sound quality; better bass (fake over the top bass).
    DO NOT GET A CHEAP HEADSET, you will replace it sooner then you know, and end up buying a good pair in the end. It ends up costing you more by getting the cheap pair. Stick with earbuds if you need to intill you can save up enough, trust me i've been there and learned the hard way. AVOID all beats, and similar branded crap that runs on batteries, they have TERRIBLE sound quality, also most phones with battery noise isolation have EMI/hissing if you have the ears to hear it (AKA they are toys for children, they sell them on looks not what they do/sound like).
    Also note, V-moda has the best headphone warranty i've come across. 2 years full replacement for any issue, after this if you lose/lost/burnt/smash you Vmoda's they will give you a 50% discount on any pair in the future for life. So what that means is if they break, or you toss them in the garbage, you can get them for the same price as the sony headphones for around 99 bucks. You dont pay extra for this warranty coverage.
    So V-moda is my personal recommendation, follwed by the German Beyerdynamic brand.

  • Decent Headphones for the Gym

    Hi
    I'm trying to find a decent set of headphones for my iPhone (3GS) which will survive a fairly lengthy workout in the gym without causing my iPhone to go insane. The Apple supplied 'phones suffer from sweat running down the wire and into the clicker which causes the volume to go up and down, songs to pause and ultimately the voice control trigger to keep firing until they're removed and left to dry out.
    What I want is a pair which has the remote option still but are designed so that sweat won't run down the wires or a bit more water-tight.
    Thanks
    Ali

    I know this won't help too much. But I read an article in GQ a while back that talked about this exactly. It suggested some cool ear buds for gym use. Oh and FYI don't use the $75 version of Apples ear buds. I learned the hard way. I bought that pair and now they are causing all the problems you just described. *****!

  • Applescript for running sudo commands in terminal

    I'm a newbie when it comes to Applescript and was wondering if someone could help with a basic request. I need to write a small script to do the following:
    1. Launch terminal
    2. Run the 'Sudo -s' command
    3. Enter the administrator password (in plain text)
    and then
    4. run some sudo commands like "sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow HiddenUsersList -array-add administrator"
    I actually WANT the administrator password to be in the script in plain text even though I understand the security risks (I will literally be the only person to ever see the script). I've trawled forums all over but can't seem to find what I am looking for and cannot get it working by patching together the various commands I have found. Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

    I've included two examples.  The preferred way & the hacker way.
    with administrator
    It is easier to diagnose problems with debug information. I suggest adding log statements to your script to see what is going on.  Here is an example.
        Author: rccharles
        For testing, run in the Script Editor.
          1) Click on the Event Log tab to see the output from the log statement
          2) Click on Run
        For running shell commands see:
        http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/technotes/tn2002/tn2065.html
    on run
        -- Write a message into the event log.
        log "  --- Starting on " & ((current date) as string) & " --- "
        --  debug lines
        set unixDesktopPath to POSIX path of "/System/Library/User Template/"
        log "unixDesktopPath = " & unixDesktopPath
        set quotedUnixDesktopPath to quoted form of unixDesktopPath
        log "quoted form is " & quotedUnixDesktopPath
        try
            set fromUnix to do shell script "sudo ls -l  " & quotedUnixDesktopPath with administrator privileges
            display dialog "ls -l of " & quotedUnixDesktopPath & return & fromUnix
        on error errMsg
            log "ls -l error..." & errMsg
        end try
    end run
    This version has an inline password.
    Notice the echo 'password' |
    The single quotes are no accident.

  • MRP area for running a sale order MRP

    Hello PP experts,
    I come across a scenario where , I need to do the  MRP run for sale order in a MRP area. I have checked , I can put PIR with respect to MRP AREA , but when I open MD50 screen for running MRP for sale order. I did not found the MRP AREA
    field in the screen.
    In short , my question is , How the sale order MRP run ,  system will do in a MRP
    area defined for the material ?
    Here , I have already defined the material is MRP AREA and also I have created
    MRP area segment in the material master.
    I have also configured the MRP area in SPRO.
    Waiting for your reply.
    Regards,

    Hello ,
    Thanks for reply.
    I am using plant MRP area. For FERT , I am using make to order strategy 20.
    I want to specify the real problem. It is like below.
    Suppose 'A ' is sumassembly goes to a variant configured MTO KMAT say 'V'.
    The same 'A'  subassembly is a child for a make to stock FERT say ' S'.
    Presently  using strtegy 11 for MTS fert 'S' and 10 for the subassembly ---'A'.
    Now the planner want to plan for the subassembly.
    He is putting the PIR for the subassembly as sales order is not availble and he is putting the PIR for FERT 'S'.
    When sales order is coming then additinal quantity planning is happening.
    So I suggested to use the strategy 70 for subassembly 'A' , so the sales order (of 'V') OF  quantity will be offset for the PIR of the SUBASSEMBLY 'A'.
    But the consumption of PIR of 'A' will  be apllicable to MTS  FERT that is 'S'.
    So how can we prevent the system from offsetting the dependent requiremet triggered from the PIR of 'A'.
    That means the consumption  (that is the usage of stategy 70) of the FERT requirement should only work for ' A' and sales order based KMAT 'V'.
    The same offseting should not work for subassembly 'A' and MTS FERT 'S'.
    For for Make to order KAMT 'V' , if I use MRP area and do the sales order planning in MRP area. Will I get the desired result ?
    Waiting for reply.
    Regards,
    Ravindra

  • What is the best solution these days for running PC software on my intel iMac?

    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
         1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows
             XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  For Boot Camp
             4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
             instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
             installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
             installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the
             computer into OS X or Windows.
         2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
             Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software
             virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
             with OS X.
         3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
             or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that
             enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
         4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
             applications without having to install Windows.  The
             Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
         5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
             as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
             It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
             Fusion.
    Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Benchmarks of all of the above except Crossover can be found in Benchmarking Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox Against Boot Camp - The Mac Observer. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.
