Title: Sweat proof ear buds/headphones?
Post by: JAM on September 08, 2011, 01:16:07 PM

Anybody know of any good sweat proof ear buds or headphones that don't cost like 100+ dollars?  So far all I found was some Adidas version with a yellowish cord that was like 89.00 at Target.  Hoping someone knows of a good one that is cheaper. 

Thanks,
JM

Are you sure the headphones are the problem?

My MP3 always quits working when it gets wet. Like the other guy said, those hook around the ear cheap ones last forever for me.

The MP3 fvcks up all the time. I sweat like crazy when I run and it's like jumping in a lake for the MP3 player.

No it's usually the head phones. I always have to get a new pair every year

Every year? Ha ha. I wouldn't expect them to last much longer than that.

I would probably lose them in half that time anyway.

Thanks, I always had the el cheap-o skull candy 9 dollar ones from Target.  They work ok, but always wear out.  Plus the rubber wires tangle like hell all the time.  So I thought maybe get a better set that hopefully won't tangle constantly.   :)

Buy a wireless set, I have a Motorola/Bluetooth set. Costs a bit more but no wires no problems.

Well I found two Motorola Bluetooth ones that were not too bad. 

1.  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875982227

2.  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875982390

I think the 2nd one is a newer model, but it seems to have not as good of reviews.  Anyone tried either of these?  If yes, what did you think.

Thanks,

I ended up doing this.  I figured if they last a year at that price range compared to the other crap, I can get 8 pairs and that is 8 years of headphones.  LOL  Good old made in china quality!  ha ha ha  ;D
