What earphones do you use for the gym?

Gonna get a second pair for missus as she is a gym rat.
Although she had commented that none of the colours will match her gym outfits....

This will probably cost me a fortune in having to buy her new gym clothes to match the earphones....

Lol, I pretty much just wear black for the gym due to its slimming illusion so the black and green ones I've ordered will be fine! I'm using either black and white Bose or white and pink SoundMagic at the moment so I'm not too fussed on colours anyway.

Thanks for the recommendation!!

I have many headphones/earphones. When it comes to working out though, sound quality comes second to fit for me. Up until a few months ago I was using Sennheiser Adidas cx300 for about 3yrs . They weren't great at staying put in my ears, even with the fins, so i was constantly adjusting them. I dont think snagging on the cable helped.

Anyway i had to chuck them at the start of the year after they broke and have bern using Yurbuds since. After seeing your post last week and reading some reviews, I decided to try out those Soundpeats. Only £16 so thought why not. Used them for the first time yesterday and was really impressed. No problems with the falling out in gym and they even stayed put during my run afterwards.

For the price the sound isnt bad either. Bit boomy on the bass, but still better than the Yurbuds.

Really impressed. Best workout earphones I've ever owned. Yurbuds already listed to be sold

Mine arrived today and they seem pretty decent at first glance. I gave them a quick go on my iPod and put them on charge, but I need to have a play about with the different buds and find the best fit.

You're all making me get some, for the gym... then again I don't really spend that long in the gym. But music might motivate me more. Decisions decisions!

Miss Mandy

The music can definitely be a motivating factor for me which is why I prefer to listen to my own stuff rather than rely on the gym's choices. If I don't like what's on I tend to lose focus and drive.

That happens to me sometimes.. Or I get distracted by the sound system and think "ah that sounds rubbish, they could get these speakers and set them up like this and the music choice needs to be more like this and..."

I need my own music when working out and the music is my gym is normally terrible, so ultimately demotivating

Saying that though, my best workouts tend to be when the music just acts as a background and i'm completely in the zone with the workout rather than paying too much attention to the song itself, if that makes sense

Going to give these a try (Soundpeats Qy7) as i currently just use the apple ear buds, or i connect my iphone to the speakers when i workout at home, i do prefer headphones but sometimes the wire is a nightmare when topless in the summer(even indoors)

I bought some soundpeats based on the discussions here. What are all the other bits in the pouch? At the moment that aren't that secure in my ear
