Headphones/earbuds for running

Any suggestions? the Apple Earbuds don't stay in well. Would love to know what works for you!

    I had the same problem. I found some that were specifically meant for running as they are rubber and corkscrew into your ear. They claimed that sweat and water will not make them fall out and as of right now, the claim is correct. I don't know the brand but they are red and black, bought them from Walmart, $39.99 or so. Best purchase for working out yet.

    Get the kind of earbuds that have a little plastic piece that wraps around the top of your ear. I can never use the "normal" earbuds because it's like I have to jam them in my ear for them to stay. These work perfectly for anything active.

    They're cheap so I do end up replacing them every 6-8 months, but I haven't found any others that fit as comfortably for me.

    ur buds will never fall out. I have two pair, sound good, and you can hear the surrounding sounds in your area.

    You won't be disappointed.

    I agree about getting ones that clip over your ears. Earbuds *always* fall out on me but the clips keep them right in place.

    Just starting to get cold around here and I picked up a set of these, http://www.haloheadphones.com/us/shop.php
    Absolutely love them and will never go back to ear buds.

    I have Skullcandy and they're pretty good but still don't always stay in. I've tried the ones with the clip over the top but I must have small ears because they tend not to stay on either. I finally ordered an old school style of headphones that go over my head and they work great plus the let in a bit of outside noise when I'm running so I can hear cars behind me.

    I love Yurbuds too. Fit really well, though I have an over the head model they don't make anymore. I used to have a behind the head model, so that was similar to just ear buds. Worked great until the darn cats chewed it up!

    I'm putting this on my Christmas list though to see how they are: http://www.arriva.com/leo/#
