Does anyone wear the wireless beats or other brand while working out. I don't mean earbuds I mean the big headphones. I love earbuds for the size but the beats are so great for when I'm running.

    I see lots of people in our gym using them. I usually just zone out when running or working out but BEATS sound so great!

    I love mine. My husband has a pair too. An absolute gym necessity!

    I have a pair of non-beats over the ear wireless headphones. I love them. They stay in place better than ear buds (in my ears) . The only down side is that the ear padding can occasionally get a bit sweaty. Not a big enough deal to matter to me, though.

    :) just echoing the above post from csv1234. mine are actually amazon basics over the ear bluetooth wireless headphones. paid less than 20.00 for them and i love them. i had issues with earbuds popping out frequently when i was doing cardio, so i switched to the wireless. yes, the ear padding does get a bit sweaty, but no issues for me either :)

    Do the over the ear buds hurt at all or are they comfortable enough for running??

    I wear these. As @Packerjohn says, they are good, but not worth the money when there are plenty of other options. I got suckered in by the marketing, and while I use them all the time, I have much cheaper headphones that have equally as good or better sound quality.

    I'd save myself the money if I could do it again. That said, comfortable to wear... sound quality 7.5/10

    Maybe just me but I don't like earbuds because when I lay on the bench to press they fall out my ears. :/

    Agreed... Earbuds always fall out of my ears during cardio at the gym or running outside.

    My BF has some beats and I've used them, like others have said they do get sweaty though.

    I have the Bests wireless small over the ear buds. They do not fall out of your ear. I had the traditional Beats. But they were big and would sometimes get caught up when I did certain workouts.

    I use a pair of Yurbuds Inspire 300s made by JBL. They are made just for cardio and workouts in general and are guaranteed to never fall out. I have never had a them fall out of my ear, but I have accidentally yanked the cord and pulled the earbud out of the rubber end piece that fits in your ear while the rubber piece stayed in my ear. I have been using the same pair for over two years with no problems. They have been on 20 mile runs in the down pouring rain and soaked in sweat and are still going strong. If they ever do fail I would not hesitate to buy another set or maybe upgrade to their wireless bluetooth product.

    I just got some wireless over-the-ear JBL headphones, but I lift weights so I prefer something that goes over my head.

    Funny when I lift I actually switch to my beats earbuds. What a pain.

    Oh I'm glad you posted on those...I was wondering about them. I would think the sticky stuff might irritate the skin in the ear...any problems with that? Thanks :smile:

    They are not sticky at all. The fitting is made out of rubber and don't actually stick to your skin. When you put them in you have to twist them into place and the design of the fitting holds them there until you remove them.
