I want to use it in a gym on a treadmill & am looking for extremely light weight & excellent comfort. Is this a good choice?

First of all these are my favorite headphones. I keep them by my computer and use them for casual listening, music, youtube, etc. They are very comfortable. However, if you sweat in them, the sweat will soak into the cups. So I would probably not use them at the gym.

Yes, I am very happy with it. Can wear it for hours ... No discomfort at all. BUT, be careful, fragile. The interior is made of plastic components... Lightweight but easily broken. Would buy it again.

Yeah but you will feel little hot and will sweat on the phoneControl oly works with iphone gadged

yes indeed. i use mine every time i go to the gym. but be sure to get the extra ear covers that they sell separately. they get sweaty. i remove them and rinse them if this happens, but it's nice to have fresh ones to switch out every so often. the sound quality is incomparable at this price, btw.

Guess so, but mine works well. It was a bit of a pain to put together, and certainly not like the ones at the gym (more narrow, simpler, maybe more noisy), but overall I'm quite happy with it. It's functional, and much easier to move than the really heavy ones. I don't know how long it will last...but it's worked well so far and I've had it for 3-4 months now. My husband and I together probably put 7 miles on it per day, so hoping it doesn't poop out for another couple years!

I was wondering the same thing so did some searching on Amazon and found the Confidence Power Plus Motorized Electric Treadmill, which is very reasonably priced as well as gotten good reviews. One of the first reviews talks about it being perfect for a treadmill desk!

Yes! I was looking at the fitdesk for TWO YEARS! I was concerned about being on the computer and telephone and needed something quiet. Finally, I was able to put together my own exercise desk similar to fitdesk. What I wanted: something comfortable, quiet, roomy and able to get a good workout on without being expensive. I purchased this semi recumbent bicycle and then I purchased a folding table by lifetime (the adjustable one to 36") and it's PERFECT. LOTS more room than the fitdesk to work (and sturdier). I love how the bike and the desk collapse and fold away when needed. My combo ended up cheaper than fitdesk. Also, I felt the fitdesk was too "high up" or "verticle" - I love how the semi recumbent bike has me in a more relaxed desk-like position (and not too low to the ground like recumbent bikes). The seat is also extremely comfortable (and for the fitdesk I'm sure I'ld need to purchase a gel covering over the seat). This bicycle is super quiet and the resistance is perfect. It will give you a great workout if you want it or you can just cruise and burn calories while you work without even knowing it. Cruising speed on a recumbent bike at 4 hours a day burns 1,300 calories! Something else I thought was cool was that this bike has an odometer, so I can know exactly how far I've "traveled". One thing that might be a "con" to some people - this bike doesn't seem to fold up as small as a fit desk - but to me the difference is negligible. Also, I never checked, but it might be a little heavier than a fitdesk - but that's okay by me. It's not very heavy. I'm a small female and was able to carry the box it came in inside my house without any strain.

I'm right around 275 lbs myself and we've had the treadmill for several months with no signs of failure. HOWEVER, if you walk on this treadmill at that weight you WILL notice that the motor struggles with EVERY footstep. Running/jogging you won't notice the issue as much but it's really annoying to have the belt jerk with every step when walking. The device also creaks a lot when I use it and just generally doesn't /feel/ safe even if it is; it's to the point that I avoid using it. Would highly recommend a stronger model for someone at the 260lb+ weight range. For reference, we have the device on a mat on top of carpet in our basement which may affect your experience.

It is very comfortable. It did compress quite a bit within a relatively short time after I began using it. I am a relatively small build, and it still gives me more than enough cushioning. I can't say how well it would hold up with someone obese, but I think it would be OK. good luck.

I have no problems using it barefooted using relatively light weights of under 200 lbs. In fact, I prefer barefoot for doing toe raises since I get a better feel for the weights that way. I also modified the foot platform by bolting a wooden 2x6 plank across the entire width for greater flexibility in foot placement -- wide stance to narrow stance. Also, get some axel grease and apply it to the sliding tubes or the thing will squeal like a stuck pig. Otherwise, it's a good unit for the price and it does not take up too much space. Just be sure to cover the head rest with large pillows for additional comfort. I have no problems using it barefooted using relatively light weights of under 200 lbs.

Yes, it is really light and you should not have any problem using it with ease.

Probably - the thing about this treadmill is it has a weight limit, only can be used in the incline position, and is very hard to move. Since you are taller and probably heavier than I am (130 pounds) this might not be an issue for you.

This has worked very well for me in my efforts to shed the 85lbs I've gained post pregnancy. The equipment itself is very bulky and sturdy; personally I like that it isn't wobbly, flimsy and cheaply manufactured. It has all of the features that I need and like. My husband who is 6' 4'' tall and 280lbs uses it regularly and it's still going strong! By incorporating this in my routine as the cardio segment of my workout for 60 mins 4 times a week I was able to get to a healthier weight by shedding 60lbs!! The Sole Elliptical Machine is worth the money based on my experience from using it almost every day of the week since purchasing it.

I don't think it would hold up under workbench activity. It's about 1/4 inch thick but has a spongy layer between the surfaces. so it feels a little soft rather than tough. I think I recall a reviewer saying it got caught on something and ripped--which seems possible to me. There are indentations where the treadmill sits on it and squishes it down. One surface is crinkly and one is smooth. I'm not sure which is really supposed to be the top surface, but I feel like I might be able to force my fingernail through either one. (Could be wrong, but I don't want to try it!)

running on it everyday will wear it out very quickly. this treadmill is great, but not for serious runners. may be a little too flimsy for what you need.

I would say it's excellent in that regard. The deck has a slight flexibility with your foot fall, and I find it very comfortable to run on for extended periods. Over the years we have had several treadmills, and we agree this LifeSpan TR 1200i is the best we have ever owned. I can't see any downside to this equipment. However, you should know that the on-off toggle switch is located at floor level on the front of the treadmill necessitating a stretch to turn it on and off. Not a problem for me...still, the switch could have been located on the 'dashboard' for ease of use. This is an excellent treadmill. 5 star recommendation here.

Yes, b/c that's what I want to use it for, for a treadmill sit/stand desk set-up, walking between 0.5 and 2.0 mph, just to keep the circulation going and give me energy for my real workouts. The TreadDesk company says you need a stronger continous hp motor b/c the low but constant use is more taxing on the mechanism. That is also why I'm looking at the Merit 725T Plus treadmill. Check out the specs. Much higher. Newer model.

Yes, it is. The uphill slope angle allows for a great workout. So far, no problems with the machine. Although (as with all treadmills) they do take a while to put together, and remember to install it in the room you plan on using it.

I am 6'1" and 207 and I would not run on it. It is fine for walking, walking fast, and ramping up.your heart rate by raising the incline. I don't think it is solid enough for guys our size to run on. I may be wrong but it feels a bit puny to me. The belt is very lightweight and does not seem to be very rugged. The motor appears a bit under - powered as well. Size wise it is big enough, but just doesn't feel solid enough.

I love mine. I've had it since feb of last year, it was wobbly at first but my husband used his own tools to re-tighten. And no more wobble. It has so many different settings and workout types. I'm never bored with it. It's very heavy/sturdy. I would recommend it.
