Recommend me some over/on ear headphones

[H2O]

I am using Musicman BT X33.
No problems although I sweat heavily. Accepts a micro SD card and will act as an MP3 player,
bluetooth also.

Can recommend it without reservation.

Beats Solo 3 are the best I've found for working out.

I can run, erg, etc and they don't move. Great sound.

Circa 3 hours prior to seeing this post, i've was browsing *the* online retailer for new on-ear headphones intended for the upcoming holiday
challenge, during which there is the distinct possibility i'll be rowing at some anti-social and un-neighbourly hours of day and night, squeezing in just a few extra few kms, here and there.

So i'll need to respect quiet time and use headphones.

previously i've tried enough 'sports-suitable' IEMs and headphones with over-the-ear clips which are supposedly immovable, but none of them ever stays put for an entire 30 min piece. None of them ever lives up to the marketing spiel.

Usually after just a few days of frustrated trials, they are consigned to the tech-junk drawer, and i return to amplifier + speakers cranked to levels that shake walls & blast neighbours above me, below me, to left and to right, with joyous & melodious tones of indie, alternative, punk, post-punk, house & techno (naturally, a matter of opinion), all with my breathless singing over this cacophany - the icing on the cake.

For me, erging without music is simply undoable!


long story short / TLDR

I know someone who has the "Miiego AL3 + Freedom Sports" and uses them regularly for running. I tried myself and can attest to them being rock solid on the head with no slippage or movement. Only the price is a little steep for me.

Instead of which, i've opted for the "GRDE Sports Headphones Bluetooth" which appear to be similar in style. I hope that they're not too budget nor that they'll be uncomfortable where they loop over the ears (they're thicker where they loop over ears than with the Miiego's)

i forgot to add my buying criteria...

- bluetooth (no cables to snag)

- on ear affixing mechanism. They ought to stay put on my ears!

- sweat resistant

- half-way decent sound. anything less and they go back. anything more isn't necessary whilst erging. i have other cans for superior audio playback when not exercising

- cheap. if they break after 1 month then i'll still consider they did their job and were 25 bucks well spent

If you can find Borofone BE5 headphones, although they have small cable, they are the best and cheapest headphones I have ever owned.

They cost £15 and I have got four pairs of them that I alternate but they have lasted now for almost three years. They have ear fins, but they don't move much at all and the sound is excellent.

Music is extremely important to me in general as well as when I'm exercising so sound quality is important, and these are pound for pound the best sound quality I have heard. I'd put them up against any other headphones.

I recently got a pair of Powerbeats Pro by Dr. Dre.

I was initially looking at other true wireless ear buds that are smaller but the thought of losing one down a grate or something was troubling. Also, lots of reviews indicate they fall out -- this was also true of many 'wireless' ear buds that connect by a wire as they have volume controls and other things attached to the wire the swing around and pull them out of your ears.

The power beats are a bit bigger, but the flexible bit that goes over my ears hold them in place really well. I have other wired ear buds that have better sound, but these have a strong low end and drive in a way that works well for exercise. They can sound loud without shredding my ears and I can wear them easily for an hour without ear fatigue. They are also waterproof enough to run in the rain with -- although I've been using them on the bike and rower, I've also done some yard work and stuff with them in and they really don't move around at all.

I'm a musician and super picky with my audio stuff, I actually like these! On the rower I need to have the at the top of the 'safe volume' warning my phone issues, if I go one step beyond that they truly drown out the rower. On my noisy stationary bike trainer they can be a few steps down and I'm still rocking along.

I've got two pairs of these things. Inexpensive and fantastic sound quality. Stay in place for everything I do at the gym including C2.
