I needed something durable for the gym and outdoor use, with compatibility for iOS. I generally prefer over or on-ear headphones, but they're no good for the gym or summer activities. The AS-5i from Klipsch seemed to tick all the boxes for me - I also wanted something to help keep the headphones in place, a clip for the remote, and a nice color. So far, they do not disappoint. I typically listen to heavy metal, classic rock, and punk. Whether it's the Eagles, Overkill, the Dwarves, Van Halen, Queen, or the Wildhearts, vocals are clear, bass and drums...
