Anyone got suggestions for a good pair of headphones to use in the gym and/or for running? Cannot stand earbuds, have tried several, including very expensive ones and they just don’t do it for me.

    Since the OP is asking for headphones and hates earbuds, i’d guess that you are suggesting the over-ear WH series.

    I tried running with them, the problem didn’t even get to the sweat part. It’s horrible to run with the sealed cans doing a “toilet plunger” like motion when your head bobs up and down. It literally pumps pressure your ears on every step. It’s one of those “never again” -experiences. (EDIT: it’s fine on elliptical machines though, it’s what i use indoors.)

    What i have used for running though is the Koss portapro. It’s good if there’s not lot of environmental noises. Like if you’re not running right next to a busy road. The wire is also a problem, thus i personally modded mine with a bluetooth receiver.
