Default Re: Headphones for the Treadmill

I have a pair of Bose I bought from a buddy selling them at $50/pair that sound really nice. He probably still has more.

I would also highly consider these:

Those are also available without the microphone and iPhone control buttons for a bit less, exactly the same headphone in all other regards.

I actually just ordered a set of the S4's, will post back once I get them and have an opinion. I was considering the S4i, but then realized that for the number of times it'd be important enough to answer a call at the gym I could just take the iPhone out of my pocket and hold it to my head

I used to have a set of Sennheiser CX400's that were absolutely amazing! Brilliant sound quality and a perfect fit that stayed nice and snug through an entire workout (I find many IEM's tend to get a bit loose as sweat and heat buildup). Also did a very nice job at blocking out all the ambient noise around me, even when no music was playing. Still a bit miffed that I left them on the plane last time I went on vacation

I would insist on the controls just because I hate having to unlock my iphone
to change the volume.

Why would you need to unlock the iPhone to change volume? That's what the volume rockers on the side are for.....
