Alright. Looking for new headphones that are gym-friendly, whether that be bluetooth, slipresistant, etc

Anyone got personal favs or know of any good pair?

Price doesnt matter, but dont care about the name as long as they are built well (dont care if they are Beats or whatever)

thanks ahead of time!

lost 30 lbs by the way! i know i made a post awhile ago to help with kcals and shit like that, feeling better already!

lg tone pros are great - bluetooth
light around the neck buds are snug ( not the crappy ones that go over the ear )
beats by dre also makes a really good "active" bluetooth head set but they're almost 200 dollars and for the quality those aren't worth it
if you don't want to go wireless....a plain pair of jvc marshmellows ftw
congratulations on the weight loss keep going :)

The power beats 2 are what you're referring to and they are quite good, you can get them for 150.
They fit snug but don't drown out all noise so if your jogging or something you won't be oblivious to cars.

These are under 150 and before I got my beats I read up and these where consistently said to be one of the best Bluetooth "active" buds around.

Another decent pair for less than 150

I wouldn't go for the tones for gym use.

the x2's become heavy after wearing a while because there's nothing holding them up besides your ears
plantronics style for that one is terrible it hurts after a while and the weight isn't balanced you feel it towards the back of your neck
I've used like 15 different blue tooth sets

by far FOR me nothing is better and more comfortable than LG's tones currently.

Curious why you say not for gym use what are you doing that would hinder these to not be usable?

A pair of cheapo iems for the gym, a pair of nice headphones for the house.

Don't waste money on a pair of iems/cans that are going to get gross super fast.

Vouching sennheiser, really really good sound quality - price ratio.

I had mine for a year before they broke, which is a personal record. I bought mine for ~20 dollar equivalent in euros.
