Hi,

OK, so there's probably not the best headphones available for running, but
any suggestions on very good sounding headphones that could be used for
running? They would need to be lightweight, sweat-resistant, and fairly
durable. I prefer the walkman style, over the ear, as oppossed to in-ear
types (which I already have the Shure E5s). Price is not too much of an
issue as long as they sound great/very good.

Thanks!
Frank

Well, a good cheap pair that has lasted for me is the K44 by AKG. I
use these in the tracking room for musicians.

And, as you know, all musicians are animals.

Look into in-ears. Not iPod in-ears, but FutureSonics, or something
like that. Get a set that you can get custom molds made for, and
you'll think you've entered Nirvana.

DOH! I just noted your line about the E5's... My bad! Sorry!

K44s for running? Really? Don't look like phones good for running with, but
thanks for the suggestion.

You think the PX100 would be better than the PX200? It looks like the only
difference is that one is closed and one is open. Not sure how that would
affect the quality of the sound, especially the bass response.

Thanks!

I guess I'm also think not in-ear models so I can hear the outside noise a
little. Like the truck that's just about to hit me. ;-)

Etymotic ER-6

Excellent audio, excellent isolation, excellent fit (various tip options).
Mechanical noise via the cable used to annoy me but I don't even notice
it now, gym or running etc.

Everyone seems to love the PX100, which are open, and just as
universally dislike the px200, which are closed.

Right now, I'm listening to a NOS pair of sennheiser hd450, which I
snagged on ebay for $31 a couple of weeks ago. You could do far worse
than a used pair of these. New earpads and cables are still available
for these, so you can keep a pair going indefinitely.

Hi

I find my IEM's (Custom Made Dual Drivers) lock into my ears really
well when training at gym which could be an advantage when running,
though i am assuming when you had e5's you did not have moulds ?
Also you can get 'talk through' (battery operated with a volume pot)
incorporated into ears so you can input some ambience, if you want to
avoid that truck

Well, I thought you might want something you would not have a fit
about if they got damaged, that an inexpensive pair of decent
headphones might be something to consider. These are closed, but you
can find open models, too.

I have the Future Sonics Atrios with Westone molds built for their UM1s
and it's a great combo. Works very well for in ear monitor chores and
quite well with an ipod.
