Used them for the first time last night, squatting. They blew my mind. Noise-cancelling is unreal. I couldn't hear anything other than music. Felt like I was in my own world, with no one else around. Didn't even take notice of others in the gym. And the sound of those bad boys .. fantastic. Easily the best pair of headphones I've ever jammed into my ears. And I have little ears, so finding a pair of buds that actually fit/stay in there is a definite plus. Now let's just see if they stand up to the wear and tear from constant use. The microphone aspect is cool too. I need to try that part out.
Do they work good? I've been considering a blue tooth headset
Yeah, I received a bum one initially but went through plantronics and received a new one quickly. Since then they have worked, over a year now. Sound quality is doable for the gym. It is just nice to not have wires everywhere. Plus the thin cable that goes behind your head doesn't interfere w/ bench pressing, ohp etc.

Interesting. I'm considering picking up a pair of wireless headphones. Was expecting to pay more than what these are listed at, so I'll have to consider them. I still have the other ones that Nix recommended, a few posts above. They're great. But all of a sudden, I'm intrigued with the wireless guys.

The price was shitty but I have never been more pleased with it as far as 'gettin what you pay for' and I have friends that thought it was outrageous but so far my workout partner has caught up to me in how much money was spent simply by buying $30 pairs here and there and breaking them. Worth looking into. Snagging is a thing of the past!
I would love to grab these, but damn, that's some serious money for headphones. Looking back at this thread, I bought the pair back in March'13 and I still have that pair, with no problems. But the marketing on the jaybirds page is serious. Makes me think I NEED them, haha.

My crappy earbuds finally bit the dust. I researched a bunch and didn't want to spend a lot of money on them since I beat them up pretty good in the gym. I ended up going to Best Buy and they had the Yurbuds Talk on clearance for like 25 bucks. I had 2 main needs. Sweatproof and stay in my ear because I have started running again for the Mudder. These things are pretty damn solid. I thought the fit would be weird but it is not bad at all and I love not having to constantly put the earbuds back in.

Mine aren't. They do have a wireless option but once again you are looking at over a hundred bucks. But I would consider these since they stay in my ear while running and I am not an audiophile where sound has to be perfect since I am hitting the weights or cardio and focus is there.

Gotcha. My headphones just started biting the dust, after a year. I consider that a great run. Now I'm looking for something better. Because of the weather, I now put the headphones in and then throw a beanie on to run outside, so the beanie keeps the buds snug in the ear. But now the music is constantly cutting in/out, which is extremely annoying, as I'm sure you know. Maybe I'll just go with another cheap pair .. for now.

Yeah that's what happened to me. I just had a hard time justifying 100 bones for headphones. Especially when I didn't know how they would work for me. If I like these after the Mudder where I will be up to running 6 miles at a time and working out 3-4 days a week and they still hold up and meet my requirements I will consider going the wireless route with this brand.
Ultimately I was down to (non-wireless):
- Yurbuds
- Sennheider CX 685
- Monster iSport (ended up being too pricey but sound is supposed to be awesome)

I had a set of Jaybirds and loved them like my child. Then, much like my child, I lost them somewhere on campus. Or they were taken out of my pack. Never showed up in lost and found and I didn't want to pay that much again so I went back to the samsung ones that came with my phone. If I ever go wireless again it'll be Jay's. I've tried yurbuds and they didn't fit in my ear well at all.
If you can't tower over someone, make them walk around you. My Journey
anyone have any recommendations for a set of earbuds that are durable for training but also noise cancelling? I also like to listen to music while I ride my motorcycle but with wind noise and music it takes a toll on hearing. and my headphones can't seemed to last more than 6 months in the gym without shorting out or flat out dying.
