Running head phones

So I have some ear buds that I have been using for running but I have noticed that my ears swell when I run and the buds eventually get loose and either fall our or bounce around in my ear.

I have put the smallest size ear piece on them and it's still happening. Does anyone reccomed ones that hook around the ear but are still like an ear bud for the ear piece?

What is your favorite type of running head phones? thanks!

    I have tried a bunch of different bluetooth ones. The Jabra SPORT Bluetooth Stereo Headset has been by far my favorite. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005FVNHBI/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00

    I use them with my phone so I wanted bluetooth.

    I think I've tried everything out there and nothing worked so I finally went to a small set of over the head headphones which have actually worked out well because I find I can hear what's going on around me much better than with my earbuds in. Since I do most of my running on the road that's a bonus.

    ^^ same. Basically anything that doesn't hook over the ear falls out when I run so I just buy the cheapest (like $10-15) over-the-ear hook ones I can find at Target and they usually last me about a year, year and a half.

    I've gone through so many pairs of headphones it's ridiulous.... I FINALLY found some that won't fall out running, lifting, whatever. They're called Yurbuds. I have the Ironman series Inspire headphones (the ones with the ear clip), found them at WalMart. They were $30, but they're the best pair I've ever had. They're sweat resistant, too, so they don't fall out if you sweat a lot. They're designed to kind of twist into your ear, so they "lock" into your ear while you're moving around. You can read about them here: https://yurbuds.com/

    (The ones I have are under the "Focus" drop-down menu at the top. I have the white ones.)

    I had some Nike Philips ones for years which were awesome until they broke... They were replaced with these, which are almost as good... But i can still highly recommend them;
    Sony MDR AS30G. In the Sony Active range, they are sweatproof and pretty comfortable.

    I have the yurbuds and they are awesome. I bought them at my local running store where the owner used a template and fitted me for the correct size.

    Hands down Yurbuds. I've never been able to easily wear earbuds until them! I actually use an over the head pair but the ear bud part is SO comfy compared to typical ones.

    Bummer, mine are discontinued now! Here they are anyway: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Yurbuds-Ironman-Driven-Over-the-Head-Headphone-Athletic-Sports-Earbuds-Free-Ship-/110953716568?pt=US_Headphones&hash=item19d55b5b58
