Best Over the Head Headphones for Sports

in terms of quality, i can't really list anything technical but i've worn a lot of headphones and the quality from these whether you're listening to a 128mbps file on an ipod, a 320 file on an ipod

you won't see me walking around public with these on.

although they are very light and flexible, you can tell they are still built well and are farily sturdy.

i am able to accurately track my enemies without ever needing to see them, their footsteps work just fine ;).

our family uses these to extend tv sound when using the treadmill.

great range as i can walk into the kitchen several rooms away from my bedroom with the headphones on and still listen to my show.

pros: long range, big comfortable ear covers, adjustable head strap, plugs into my tv, pc, mp3 player no problem.

i have them running through a cheap $20 behringer ha400 headphone amp w/ 4 outputs (id recommend and amp for these to get the full effect).

i hooked these up to my ipod and they are the loudest of anything that i've hooked up to it, including a number of higher-end buds.

also they come with 1/8" and 1/4" inch headphone jack/adaptor - so you can enjoy them straight out of the ipod or connect them to your audiophile headphone amp or your professional gear.

my only major gripe about the m50s is that the 'leatherette' ear padding's do promote sweaty ears, but they offer great isolation and minimal sound leakage.

the phones work great with an unamped ipod or nicer amped source like a high end sound card with a high impedance headphone amp.

it seems to me that this is almost totally related to using these headphones with ipods or small portable cd/dvd players.

oh, they seem super sturdy and i've almost tossed them around a bit and them haven't cracked or made any sign of breaking.

these headphones also sound very well on my 8g walkman, without an amp.

i thought i knew jimi hendrix's albums by heart, but it was like listening to a new track with these on.

amps are great, but it's great not to need one as your mp3 portable or cd player will do rather nicely.

with music: i had trouble hearing any noise outside the music, it was almost completely silent...i could turn my ipod down to around 25% of max volume and could hear every instrument and then some.

overall, turning on the switch was the same as putting in earplugs, except that when you turn on your ipod it sounds a lot better.
