I don't know about the rest of /fit/, but when I run or do any sort of cardio I absolutely cannot get into it unless I have music. No music, no exercise. For those on /fit/ who are like me, what headphones do you use? Which are the best for working out and won't fall out of your ears?

Pic related it's the headphones I've been using for about a year. They're fantastic but the right ear is starting to lose sound and I'm looking for some cheap replacement headphones.

I think it's easier to keep track of time when listenign to music. since an average track is like, 3-4 minutes, I can listen to like 8 songs and get a good half hour workout without even realizing it.

What are you, retarded? Cardio, for the most part, is boring as shit. I need something to make the time go by faster, and music is the perfect solution

I know I can't persuade you or anyone of NOT using headphones, but at least consider my little advice, for it's just my most sincere concern that no one goes through my problem as well

Stay away of inner ear headphones, use the bigger wider ones that are away from your ear drums for those will harm your ear more, and most importantly keep it on low to medium volume, not matter how much noise is out there, don't go beyond medium, you may feel like you need more volume to actually hear the music, but you're really stressing your ears when you go for high. Turn off dynamic base, or leave it at some low setting

if you abuse the headphones you can get Tinitus, a disease (or aural condition) which causes a ringing sound in the ear and the brain. I don't need to rant much about it, but I can just tell you, you will never know what silence is, you'll live with a very annoying and disturbing sound in your brain which no doctor dares to treat, for most treatments are useless, and operations in those delicate areas can lead into permanent brain damage or death.

Despite this warning I use inner-earphones by Sennheiser. I keep the volume low all the time since they're noise cancelling.

No. Canalphones are safer than ear buds because they are stuffing your ear canal providing isolation. Ear buds leak more, so you will hear outside noise louder and you will be more likely to up the volume to drown out the noise. The power output of canalphones and ear buds is small but they are both capable of enough loudness to damage hearing. The fact that ear buds have more distance to your ear drum means nothing because of this. You can just increase the volume more and you will have more reason to do so because of lesser attenuation of outside noise. People do this because if outside noise interferes with their music too much they just as well might not listen at all.

Not only this, but if you use canalphones the guy on the treadmill next to you won't be able to hear your shitty music! Everyobody wins :D!

Sennheiser CX300

Sound quality is good in every aspect, no weaknesses there, definitely worth the money. They're just normal canalphones, no way to attach to your ears like in the OP pic, but I've found that they stay on quite adequately. You can get them for around 50$.

Yeah, that's about the level of volume you need for ear buds if you want your music to sound good in the noise of a gym.

You can say whatever you want about isolation and fool yourselves because you don't like to wear bigger and un trendy headhphones, I would rather annoy the guy next to me using regular headhpones than have injured my ear. But just try using both kind of headphones at 3/4ths volume for a long period of time, 90 minutes or such, you will notice a small ache in your ear, and it's stronger when you use the inner ear headphones. As I said, I would rather have you not to use headhphones at all, but the bigger ones do less harm and your body will tell you how much.

Seriously I'm just saying this out of simpathy for anyone who has faced the consecuences for hearing very loud music (clubbing and standing next to the big speakers many times for example), all those advices your elders keep telling and you and seem stupid to you, all make sense when you finally get injured like this. It's not a broken arm you can heal, you can even reatach your penis but doctors can't cure tinitus, I know it's not aids, but it does suck a lot to have a disease most people won't believe/care if you have, sometimes you can't sleep because the buzzing is driving you nuts, and pretty much sucks not being able to rest like a normal person.

and finally, yes you won't go deaf for hearing loud music once, or twice, or maybe not even for a month non stop, but when you really make it a habit it all adds up.
