Headphones - Help

deniseg31

Can anyone recommend over-the-head headphones that have worked out for you during your workouts and runs. I'm looking for headphones that aren't too expensive so BEATS are out of the question.

The earbuds with the over the ear hook thing don't work for me. I've tried 3 different ones and my ears are just too small for those hooks. Also the earbuds come with 3 sizes of the little plastic thingies and the small one is too small and the bigger ones are too big so I desperately need the over the head ones because I need my music.

Thank you.

I had a pair of Bose headphones I really liked. Little on the expensive side but not compare to Beats

I've got some SOLs that I really like, but I've never tried them during workouts (I prefer earbuds)... but they sound great, are comfortable, and I think I only paid like $60 for them (not cheap, obviously, but not bose or beats expensive).

I don't use over the head ones, but I have a pair of JBL BT minis that are amazing. I workout, lift, run, whatever, with them and they have never fallen out!! they also come with different size earpieces. I've had mine for over two years. battery lasts like 8 hours. see link:

I have the same problem, those hanger things are too big!

I like to use bone conduction headphones for workouts. I don't know what your budget range is, but I started with this pair (I have since upgraded to a wireless pair):

They wrap around the back of your head but instead of going in your ear, they press against the side of your head just in front of your ears. The main benefit is that since they don't block your ears, you can still hear what's going on around you. I have better awareness of my surroundings when running with these vs. normal earbuds.

I just bought these for my husband, and he loves them

I use a brand called Taotronics. The headphones are really good, but the warranty is amazing. If they get damaged, the company will send a replacement quickly. You don't even need to send the damage unit back. I bought them in Amazon.

i found some at TJMaxx/Marshall's that are wireless over the head, sound is fine for the gym $20 or $25?

I am obsessed with my Aftershokz. There are few different sides, the have a mini version. It's really worth checking out their website and if you have a running store or the like in your area, you can probably find a display to actually try them.

Thank you all for the suggestions! I see a few that I like and are in my price range as well and on top of that on sale!!! Those Bose headphones I’ve seen and they are nice but still a bit on the higher end and I’m on a budget.

Beats are not that good. It’s like $4 for the headphones and $196 for the feeling of coolness you get by a vague association with Dr. Dre.
