I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions on great headphones to use while i'm working out that stay in pretty well. I don't like designs that hook around my ear because i wear glasses. Thanks ahead of time for the suggestions!

    Bose. They don't move. At all. But they're like $100/pair

    The Ironman ones are ear buds that stay in very well. They are about $30 at Target

    I've worn many different styles in my 10 year running career. Right now I am wearing a pair that I got from Radio Shack that are the best ones I"ve ever used! They are the store brand sports style, which are sweat-proof (whatever that means). They hook over the ears it I wear glasses too and they aren't am issue. They were a little pricey, but I go the insurance and if for any reason I don't like them (or the connector fails), I can get a different pair. They were $30. Well worth the price (I've never spent a lot of headphones)!!

    For the record, earbuds fall out of my ears almost immediately if I am running.

    Skullcandy. High performance, last forever, and they come with a lifetime warranty. Even if you damage them, Skullcandy send you a free pair for 50% of the purchase price. They're like $20 at Target. I recommend the Smokin' Buds earbuds.

    Those look awesome. I couldn't justify spending that much on ear buds, though. I'd knock ish over the second I messed them up, haha.

    I'll see what The Source has for them. I have a big pair of retro panasonic over ear headphones but they make me a little sweaty since they're so big.

    Try the ear buds made by SKULL CANDY they have really good base and stay in your ears while you run, I wear glasses too.

    the bonus to those is that they're really reasonably priced. I'm not sure how well they'd say in for cardio. do you have any tricks for getting earbuds to stay in once you get a good burn on?

    Skull candy. Even their cheapest set is great. You want in ear head phones.

    They stay in. No tricks. No special moves. Nothing. They come with ear bud covers in several sizes, so it's not hard to find the right fit.

    I like these. If I push anything in my ears I get an earache. And the buds fall out even if I do jam them in.

    Sennheiser and Shure audio quality's typically top-notch btw...

    Sennheiser sport headphones. They're the ONLY ones I've ever had that haven't shorted out from sweat. Even more expensive ones. You can even wash them, in water, to clean sweat off. They make a couple different models (earbud, around the ear, etc) and from what I've heard they're all equally durable so you can choose whichever model is most comfortable. I think the current model is branded with adidas.

    i've actually wanted a pair of sennheisers for a while now because i heard they were on par with bose for sound quality. i will definitely check those out.

    I use Monster Beats by Dre Dre and Grado GS1000i. It really depends on how much you like music and what you're willing to pay. And how loud and bassy or if your a more mellow music listener or not. I work in the music industry and music is my life. I have to have a decent pair of headsets even if I am listening to music on my phone or the TV. If you're looking for a decent set of headphones at a decent price I would buy the Beats by Dr Dre Solo HD. They're not as bass and as deep sounding as the Monster Beats but they are very good for music either way.

    unfortunately until i win the lotto spending $250 on headphones makes me choose between that and utilities.... but added to my fantasy shopping list :)

    Skull Candy, sound as good or better than Bose and won't break the bank.
