What are good headphones for runners?

Question

Ear buds never stay in for me and I was thinking about the "Sony Mdr-As20J Active Style Headphones with Soft Loop Hangers" See them here:

Does anyone have suggestions or know about the above? I don't want to spend a ton of money... I'm not an audophile... these are just for the gym. Thank you!

Answer 1

I'm with you on that one. I usually just buy something basic from a store like Target that go into the ear, and wear a hat to make sure it doesn't fly out. They usually cost about $10, if that. They get bounced around and the connection wears out after a wihle, so I don't bother with a big expenditure. When it goes, it goes.

Answer 2

I use Koss earbuds. They came with three sizes of the little rubber things that go into the ear. I started with the smallest ones, then after a few runs switched to the middle size and they don't fall out. I also use an ipod with a nike plus arm band and run the wire through my shirt so it's not flopping all over the place. I have no problems.

Answer 3

bang and olufsen over the ear earbuds.

these earphones rock like bose and have an adjustable ear piece that fits over the ear so when you are running they stay put an dont fall out.

awesome sound not to expensive about 69.99 on ebay.

it is worth it. extra long cord and great sound very high end looking to.

i have a pair of bose and use the bang for running best investment ever
