Can't compare to others, but the Etymotics 6s sound just fine when I'm in the gym and they provide about 15 dB of isolation as well.
what headphones work for sports and activities?
I have been walking and have noticed that I typically sweat and moisten my Grados. Are there any other headphones out there that are easier to use under this condition? Maybe the smaller style that locates in you ear? Any suggestions? What sounds best in your opinion?
