In for a new headphone

[Swoosj]

Hi,

I'm looking to buy a new headphone to use in the gym.

I'm considering on-ear and over-ear headphones. But I think that an on-ear headphone would suit me better since I think you sweat more with over-ears. Currently I own a AudioTechnica ATH-M50 which I love, but it's too big and pricey to wear it in the gym and get all sweaty.

I have a budget off around 150$-175$, love a good quality sound and sturdy build quality. If possible maybe a wireless (bluetooth) headphone with controls on it...

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

What's a gym????

Bose OE2 for on ears at that price. Unbeatable.

Are you kidding me?! Gym aka gymnasium

Yes I'm kidding. The last time I went to a gym I took a sick note from my mum! And yes, I'm kidding on that one too.

After what I've read here are the contenders:

AKG Y50 or the AKG Y45BT

Philips Fidelio MIMKII of the Philips Fidelio M2BT

Bose SoundLink On-ear

Any thoughts?!

Nah, don't want 'earbuds' anymore...

Hesitating between the AKG Y50's and the Philips Fidelio M1MKII.

Anyone compared these two?

I had the original Philips M1 - worst headphone ever - sounded like I had a heavy blanket over my ears. The Y50 should be excellent.

AKG Y50 are superb cans for the money - you can buy them for less than £50.

I rate them highly.
