Go to gym headphones

[Bigmanjws]

What is everyone’s go to headphones? Are beats worth it? Not a fan of the AirPod/earbuds. I have been using Bose Sport Pods I got as a gift years ago, they are so old they won’t stay charged for a whole session……. I have had some Sony Bass boost over the ears at one point, gotta have that bass thumb! Any recommendations?

HEAVY's bar none......best headphones I have ever had. That said, I do own several other expensive pairs that include a $400 pair of BOSE noise cancelling that still cant hold a candle to the Heavy over the ears I wear.

Never heard of them, definitely what I’m looking for with the initial browse of reviews!

AirPod pros the only way to go for me. I operate equipment and the noise cancelling is superb. Great for in gym as well because of conversational mode if you like that kind of stuff

I've been using the same Soundpeats Q35 for years now.

I like in-ear and I want them connected so so I can hang around my neck when not in ear, especially as they are magnetic. Great for my audiobooks while traveling to the gym as well.

I don't like headphones much - I had beats and the band snapped after a couple years. They were useful in the winter when walking to the gym though lol.

I have Heavy’s. Don’t recommend for the gym. Big. Slide off your head when lying down.

I can’t get in the hack machine because they are so wide.

For home use, they are good for the money.

I'm torn on the Beats in-ear models. The first pair went bad right after warranty expired. The new purchase has held up but we're not to two years yet and the connection is starting to drop a bit.

Wear Beats now but debating about switching to headphones. They also seem to be making a come back at the gym lol. Earbuds get uncomfortable for me after alittle while

I got a pair of AirPods gen2 a while back on sale for pretty cheap and didn’t expect them to be as good as they are. No idea how they don’t fall out of my ears and sound quality is better than most earbuds. I’ve had 3 pairs of beats and these are better sound quality than all 3.

To get the most out of any headphones make sure the source is good. On Spotify go to settings - media quality and turn everything to lossless. This makes a night and day difference to in sound quality

I've had Beats Studio Pros for years and absolutely love them. They do pretty well at staying on despite sweat/movement.

Outstanding sound quality. Drop them a fair amount and have been very sturdy. I think this pair is going on 6+ years. Only thing I had to do was replace the ear pads with some aftermarket since they started peeling, otherwise perfect shape.

I have a 5 year old pair of Sony MDR-ZX220BT and they sound pretty darn nice and so recently I replaced the original earpads with a thicker aftermarket set which sealed out the noise better. Still holds a charge too!

The bad thing about earbuds they keep falling out at times and with mine due to their asphalt grey color get a little hard to find on the gym floor lol. I keep the earbuds as a backup set to the Sony when the battery dies lol.

No headphones here. Just raw dogging it!

 

[Squat to death]

Cheap Walmart Bluetooth headphones. If they get broken or lost no big deal. I just need to drown out the annoying music my gym plays.

There’s a certain serenity from not wearing headphones when training. I need the extra oomf on back days so I’ll wear headphones, but outside of that I prefer listening to my own breathing especially during higher rep sets on squats, arms, delts etc

AirPods.

 

[Lift2staysane]

Sennheiser SPORT earbuds. Only brand I support.

Get some foam earbud tips from JLab to make them even better.

Get some memory foam tips from JLab. I've worn my Sennheisers for 3+hours and they still feel great.

The bad thing about earbuds they keep falling out at times and with mine due to their asphalt grey color get a little hard to find on the gym floor lol. I keep the earbuds as a backup set to the Sony when the battery dies lol.

Same advice. These never fall out with the foam tips. Largest size.
