    The Gym I go too plays the worst music ever. Cannot handle RnB or rap whilst pushing weights never mind any other time. So got a mix on my iPod. Can anyone suggest a good headset please.

    My family members use Bose SIE2i sports headphones.

    The good thing is that they're water resistant which means no damage by sweating on them, they also like to hang on to your ears without being uncomfortable.

    I use Sennheiser i300 which are OK, but a) the cable is too short by about 15cm for me at 6 foot tall. And they fall out SLIGHTLY too easily.

    What I would say is to make sure you get something that holds itself on, I've found myself using overear headphones in the past because they stay on better when I'm working. (Either my Panasonics or my JBL roxy's these both have a nice tight headset that means they stay where they're supposed to be even when things get sweaty.)

    I loved my green girls headphones, all the garishness of Skullcandy's but with amazing sound quality. Leave me alone.

    The only thing with Wireless is that you loose that secure anchor to yourself. If they fall out of your ears on the treadmill they're getting fired off the end at 15kph.

    What you've linked look pretty good, but I would be careful that you get something that is going to stay in REALLY well if you go wireless.

    They're top-rated for staying in.

    Well, no-one's saying you can't get to work on a Lada Priora.
