Best buds/phones for the gym?

[rslifka]

If I'm on the go, I'll wear whatever, even silly huge ones that make me look like an idiot :p

At the gym however, you're laying down on your back or stomach, biking, lots of motion when doing different exercises, etc. Any particular style better suited for the gym?

Thanks! :)

I prefer in the ear buds (in the canal itself, not in the outer ear); gyms tend be noisy, and the isolation these give is great in this situation. There are a number of choices:

For around $50.00, the Sony EX 71's are a reasonable option. Good isolation, pretty good sound.

For $80.00: The Shure E2's. These are simply fantastic. Great isolation, fantastic sound, no cord noise, very durable--IMHO the best in the ear phone for the gym.
