Hello,
I am very active runner (everyday since Jan 1) and I have a very loud MP3 player and every pair of headfone i buy just blow so easily. I need a good quality LOUD pair of headphones that will last me more than a run! Laughing

Thnx

Hi!

If you run a lot, why don't you consider to buy in-ear headphones?
In-ear would isolate you from external sounds, so you can listen at lower volume; it should be a problem if you go out running, because you don't ear outside warning signals, and so on...

BTW, Bose is making good products, worth a check for sure.

Regards

and remember that loud headphones can damage your hearing permanently

Yes, of course, that's why I suggested in-ear and Bose...
In-Ear are generally listened using much lower volumes (considering that is used at high sound pressure levels they are catastrophic for ears).
Bose gear have got a good quality, and it's prooved that good quality causes less demages...

BTW, once again, pay attention to your ears, never use high volumes, especially with hearphones!

I agree

Use Bose or Koss for this kind of work...Senn won't stay I know..and the newer brands have good specs, but not close listening generally...I use ancient Koss electrostatics at medium volume for big cup and have bose in-ear ,,which are VERY low vol. ultra high ef...as well as jus' plain Koss Pro4AAAT.. also good, BUT uncomfortable...

try them you will like them...
