Best Sport/wireless headphones?

Hey!!!
I am in need of some new headphones for running etc, my SENNHEISER MX 75's were full of empty promises and have completely fallen apart. R.I.P They were rubbish!

I dont know what to do tho, wireless (because the cord of the SENNHEISER MX 75's really annoyed me) or just sport headphones. I also need ones that are water (more like sweat) proof because I have already destroyed 3 pairs by perspiring all over them!

Any ideas?

Thankyou x

Re: Best Sport/wireless headphones?

i too would like a pair of 'bomb proof / sweat resistant' earphones. I have Shure Se110 at the moment for my mp3 walkman and the sound is staggering to say the least, but at £70 a shot are a bit expensive to keep having to replace every few months or so. i am looking for similar sound quality but cheaper.

Bomb and sweat proof would be the PMX 80 I reviewed on the forum, but the bass is lacking

Bugger! Need decent bass on them. Will keep on hunting. My limit if £30 - £35 for a pair of 'disposable' ear plugs. Will keep on hunting.

Re: Best Sport/wireless headphones?

I believe that is down to the way the earpieces are angled, as part of the sport "will not dislodge off your head even if you go abseiling" design

Not sure if the ear hook version of the Senn sport range might fare better. The thing is if you look at standard headphones that withstand a little bit of battering, they will not be sweat-proof

Hey, you should take a look at the Sennheiser PMX80's. Damn good sound, as well as sweat proof and you can even full on wash them. Great for working out.
