What does everyone use or recommend?

I have had 3 pairs of the ones below over the years, always thought they were ok, considering spending a bit more though this time.

I like the look of the ones below and the reviews, but I am not sure what they would be like having the band round the back of my head, espoecially whilst doing bench presses or any other exercise that requires me to lie down?

So what does everyone think?

For running I use the second set, there is none better, mine are orange.
They are a pain in the arse for weights though..still looking for a decent set for them....maybe wireless ones?

For me, I use whatever cheap over the ear earphone I can get my hands on - sound quality is not important and they usually get wrecked with sweat after a while anyway - save the decent earphones for listening to music and use the stters in the gym imo.

i use Shure SE530 PTH's.....may be a bit OTT for the gym though rofl the sennheisers are OK for a cheap budget earphone, i used to have a set (slightly different to those though) about 6-7 years ago before i started buying top end earphones.
