What are the best earphones for working out | running earphones

Posted by: Steve In: General

My earphones broke, well the left one anywayy. I need to find a replacement, and I would appreciate your recommendations. Please share what you’re using, and it would be great if you could include the approximate price. I use Sony in-ear headphones. I bought them at BestBuy for around $40. They do the job most of the time. They aren’t perfect sometimes they slip out of my ear a bit if I’m running all out on the treadmill. Of course that link has them as $1. source

Price is not terrible, but I’ve compared them to a couple other pairs I have including a Phillips SHE9700/27 which is an in ear bud type on sale for about $25 or so when I bought them, and there’s no comparison in quality.

The Philips have a crisp sound at all volumes and the treble is clear and the deep bass thumps (doesn’t drown out other parts of music). This sony pair has a deep muffle that robs the buds from crisp sound. Furthermore the comfort isn’t impressive due to sharp ridges along the edges that is very irritating and painful (in my ears at least). Also the sound pitch changes based on the angle that the earbuds are in your ears. One second it can be deep and muffled and turn them just a hair and you’ll hear more treble and much less bass. This isn’t bad except for the time it takes to adjust them every time you put them in.

A few nice things about them is the cord is the perfect length to run to my pocket (I’m six foot four inches) and should work for most people. The pair doesn’t blok out much background noise (good and bad) which helps when you’re around traffic (as I walk around campus) or somewhere you need to hear people (hallways etc). They also stay in the ear pretty well but are very relieving to take out. Overall I’d say invest in a nicer pair (there are better pairs for the same money).
