These things are amazing! A little harder to drive than expected but perfect for the gym. Will push little mp3 players to their max volume. The sound is warm and bassy.

JamesXHow is a klunky hot ear muffler that can easily fall when you bend over or run "perfect" for the gym? How is this better than in ears?

TenryuuRegarding exercise I would normally have the same sentiment about over-ear headphones but these guys are surprisingly good for the gym. They're super light so there's no inertia to them. I can shake my head like a maniac and they will stay put. Plus, considering how stable these headphones are on the head, the earpads sit surprisingly lightly on your ears. Almost too lightly because it makes you feel like they'll fall off really easily (which they don't)... but in any case I don't get any issues with ear heat.
The number one benefit of these headphones vs. in-ears is that they exhibit ZERO microphonics (i.e. those obnoxious THUMP sounds with every step you take or any time there's a light tug on the cord). You can stomp, jump, windmill, thrust, millie-rock, or dab as hard as you want without missing a beat. The only earbuds I've found in this price range that can deliver moderate sound quality with low microphonics are Apple's Earpods, but mileage with those can vary greatly depending on the exact shape of your ear.
I WILL SAY THOUGH I worry a lot about sweat ingress. I sweat like a hot horse in heat... especially when doing indoor cardio. Think about all that biological salt water seeping into the microphone, jack, drivers and spongy earpads and the whole concept gets gross and rusty pretty fast. I'd only use these for outdoor running on cooler days or for the non-cardio days.
