I never felt I needed my own music at my old gym. There was no noise there (for the most part), most people were there to work, and I felt any little trinket would just get in my way, be a distraction, and not be worth the cost. Then I changed to a new gym.
This gym has a radio in their dungeon. It's usually tuned to the lite station. Even when it's not, rock stations are still distracting, because of all the commercials, talk, and ballads. Also, the reception comes and goes depending on if someone's moving the steel weights near it. And today, imagine my distraction when some bitch won tickets to Bob Dylan (had there been a phone nearby, I would have left my bench and gone to dial)!
AND.... not a day goes by that there isn't either A) a group of 3 or 4 middle aged men taking turns at a cable station or flat bench while choosing locker room or business talk (make that yelling) as their main exercise B) some retard (literally) walking around talking to everybody for 10 mins between 10 second sets on the smith machine. The other day he was on there during my whole workout, so when it came time for my standing calf raises, he was a few feet away blabbing, I walked over to the smith, kicked his bench out, raised the bar, loaded that bitch up, and proceeded to do my raises. I think even that mental midget gathered that, unlike all those other hoes, I'm not there to FUCK AROUND! ARRRGH!!!!!!!!!
Annnnyway, I have very little cash to blow on this thing, and I don't know jack shit about them. I need something that can hold an hour's worth of songs at MINIMUM, and is easy to use with my PC. Anyone know where I can look?
Do these things get in your way? Either the unit or the headphones? Do they do an adequate job of allowing you to tune out all the gay bullshit at your gym?
