Best Sport headphone

[Lethal Seraph]

I've recently started going back to my hamster-wheel setup again (walking while on pc) for hours at a time. I'm mainly interested on sport headphones. What headphones can you guys suggest?

I'd like to pick just about as close to a audiophile quality. Thanks.

Why does it have to be a sport headphone if you're at home on a treadmill?

[ShearMe]

To expand on my question, is the treadmill loud? Will you be sweating?

We'll the idea is to have it as a viable option. Treadmill right now but I will be used outdoors as well. Obviously doing cardio, you're expected to sweat some so I'm guessing ear covers especially with foam insulation is not a choice.

What do you guys think of Senheiser PMX 685i?

Okay, just making sure you have thought this through. [emoji4]

The Koss PortaPro is an option that would withstand physical activity and also have a lifetime warranty. Sennheiser makes similar heaphones such as the PX100 and HD229, along with other similar models.

Outside of that, I would mostly suggest IEMs of some sort.

I've checked the senheiser pmx, looks like a good contender. Sucks it only have 2yrs warranty though, but then again I can pickup one of these for only $25.

I've only listened to one briefly, but it had the typical warm but clear Sennheiser sound. $25 sounds like a steal.

Considering they just released a newer version for $109. These 685i is what, made available since 2013? I could pickup the 686, for $75. But still x3 for the older version.

I'm super not familiar with these cheaper products. There's too many versions and too many models to keep track of so I don't even try.

The only thing I can say is I caution against Sennheiser's IEMs as the cables typically do not last long. Having said that, I just bought a Momentum In-Ear hoping that trend is changing.

[Lethal Seraph]

I wished they had more options for headphones with neckbands.

I do like my Sennheiser MM100, but I will admit it costs more than it should. That's one product line that needs significant upgrading.

Neckband headphones have gone out of style because they're just not practical in the real world now that IEMs are so prevalent. Can't rest your head on anything while wearing a neckband headphone.

[Lethal Seraph]

Yeah with neckband you can't rest your head against something good but it's perfect for sport/active lifestyle usage.

Why not sportapro?

Sounds like it's more sporty with the word sport in the title

Reviews show them to be the same thing but with a closed back (undesirable).

If someone likes that they are cheaper, the KSC75 is moreso.

Ah.

And the porta pro are prettyer anyway

[Lethal Seraph]

Ugh those don't look like it had quality made on them. I bet they rattle like a tin can... regardless of the quality, I don't think those would be good for an workout setting cause the foam will absorb sweat.

They are a lot more quality than they look. All headphones are gonna get sweaty, that foam is simply easier to wash.

plus they are on ear and i dont think ones ear will sweat that much

[Lethal Seraph]

Yeah the in-ear is probably the best way to go.

Something that loops around the ear will stay in better and transfer less cable noise. The Shure SE215 is a long standing favorite. My personal favorite cheaper option is the VSonic VSD1S, but the SoundMagic E10 is popular.

I found the nvx ex10s are pretty good for the 35$ price tag, but I have not had much experience with iems so I can't compare
