red_ryder 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2005 Well, my sharp MD-33 earphones are getting spoilt after I used them at the gym. On a lot of songs I hear static-like sounds, especially in louder sections. Any recommendations for ear-buds or canal phones (<$100)? My ears are a little small and I prefer in-ear phones (comfort wise) like the Sony EX71 and the MD33. Normal earphones are ok too if they aren't too big. At Hung Bros I saw a lot of audio-technica earbuds pretty cheap, ranging from $18 to $70+. Are they any good? On a sidenote, do you guys use earphones in the gym? How to prevent them from spoiling?

Kube 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2006 When did you buy it? The md33 burn-in after a few months or so of use, though I've only noticed a tighter, deeper, bass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't recommend any of them for audiophile quality but since gym is a workout, I demand that my earphones don't drop and has the bass department thumping!
