If you're still looking for workout headphones that aren't in-ear. these are a good choice:

and cheap.They're open, so you can still hear stuff around you. (like cars if you run)

Bowers + WIlkins P3 or P5
$200-$300P3's aren't available just yet.
- I'm really keen to give the P3s a try. My Nixon cans keep giving me grief.Nathan_Adams
- a few years back B&W wanted us to work on their seo but because they're B&W we should do it for free - yeah righttrooperbill
- shoulda asked to get paid in headphones and speakers :)microkorg

These guys are a client of ours. The AF78 ($199) has a 9mm dynamic driver and a balanced armature driver and the sound is truly amazing.

AKG does a dual driver pair similar but they are $1000+

For the gym:
Sennheiser OMX 181's are the best I've ever owned.They're discontinued but...
- You can still find them really cheap (£20)
- Go up to 120dB (none of that 100dB shit)
- Volume control on the cord
- Over-ear hook design so you're not grabbing them when you sweat
- Good sound for everything, not just heavy bass Slovakian trance

Does anyone of you already tried (own) a pair of these Nuraphone? I really want to buy one but I need to have opinions.

They have just released a huge software update (including Active Noise Cancellation, Social Mode, etc.)

Still using a pair of Sennheiser HD 25's I purchased in 1994.
Never replaced the cable...the covers on each can are still intact.
- Sennheiser HD 280 PRO's ftw!ideaist
- I use the HD-280 Pro's at work. They're really nice. I like them a lot better than the Sony MDR 700's (used to be real popular for djs) they replaced.section_014

Got the Sennheiser HD-25 as a Birthday gift from some people I'm living with this year cause I started to deejay again and I'm absolutely loving them.
There's better one for sure but these are already awesome for me.
Mind you that I live with a couple of professional musicians, deejays, music teachers and sound engineers...

I'm rocking the Sennheiser 419s. Cheap, lightweight, comfortable, great bass response, with nice mids and highs, too.

Back in 2004 Aphex Twin stated that he recorded and mastered tracks from Syro on Sony 7510's. They retail for about £100.
- I got a pair of these, great value and good balance. Bad points: bit painful after 1hr+ of use, and not noise blocking enough if used in noisey environmentshapesalad

I picked up the Bose QC35's about 2 weeks ago. So far, they've been great with just a few little nitpick issues. Im happy with the purchase.

What do you headphone connoisseur's recommend for something on/over ear that's:
* Comfortable (most importantly)
* Durable
* Has good sound quality (doesn't have to be amazing, just better than average)
* Good for using at my desk or in bed
* Bluetooth is not important (in fact, might prefer non-bluetooth)
* Budget: $50-100 preferred, $150 absolute maxThank you in advance!
- * connoisseurs (no apostrophe)nocomply
- FWIW - I currently use cheap earbuds and these: https://www.amazon.c…nocomply
- Feel like almost anything would be an improvement over the above.nocomply
- I use a pair of Audio-Technica's, VERY similar to what mango posted just before this.monospaced
- They are exactly what you asked for, and they have models in every price range. It's worth it to splurge, though.monospaced

- Stop looking. Go here.
https://aiaiai.dk/he…mg33 - I'm an 8 year loyalist to AIAIAI, started with the 1st gen TMA-1 and I'm still using them. Have studio version TMA-2's at home for recording.mg33
- Wow! Never heard of aiaiai before, but those look rad! Looks like the cheapest configuration I could get is about $150 though.nocomply
- Will have a look at the Audio-Technica lineup as well.nocomply
- I'm totally looking at AIAIAI now :) I like options!monospaced

Looking for athletic, wireless options right now to pair with a watch (possibly Apple Watch) for running, cycling, etc.
Tired of having my phone and just want audio and statistics/direction(s).
I have some Jays right now, which sound fantastic and are reasonably priced; they have a wireless version of the same:

I've looked at various options, but live in the middle of nowhere and am kind of "going in blind" as they say.

Nuraphone update :
I have received my pair this monday. And I am quite confused. They sound really good, it's a kind of magic.
But, unfortunately they are uncomfortable as f**ck for me...
After a few minutes it starts to be painful and I have to remove them. The customer service told me that it can be a question of time, that the silicone tips can soften after a few days, and the pain will dissapear. It happen sometime for some people.No luck it's for me :'( Anyway I can still try them until the 27th of September and if it's still not ok, I can send them back (30 days of trial)
- Which problem does this design solve?shapesalad
- Bass dildo?
Do you get sore ears after using normal silicone in-ear earphones? I remember I did upon starting a new pair once.Nairn - I never have problem before with normal in-ear earphones.dasmeteor
- It looks like it has other purpose....pango

The cheapskate in me wants the refurbished Audio Technica M20x for only $42.50. https://www.amazon.com/Audio-Tec…
But the "I love quality craftsmanship" part of me wants a custom pair of the AIAIAIs for more like $150-200.
I feel like anything in the middle would just be disappointment. Damn.
