I have been through 3 different brands & versions of headphones over the last 3 months. I use my Iphone for tunes, plus I use RunKeeper & Ease n25k apps, I have an arm case for it & strap it to my upper arm.

I've just finished with the Marshmallow ones.. I've had the Memorex, and the Sony ones. Obviously I'm going to have to graduate up to athletic type ones.

Hubby uses a Sony headset that is a standalone runner's type. I don't have a garmin, so I need to still use the iphone for my apps & tracking.

What's your preference?...

Annnnnnnnnd GO!

    I have a pair of $7 Gumy headphones from Walmart. They've survived through months of sweaty workouts.

    How much do you want to spend? I bought a pair that the US Olympic team uses to train. They're Bluetooth and they fit very, very well. The sound is also very good.

    I went through 3 pairs of cheaper motorola's and I decided to up my budget a bit. These have been great.

    Best ones I've found are the ones that came with my iPhone 5. Tried many many different ones. These stay in and work great.

    The sportband headphones from Jaybird are amazing! I have had mine for three years and they still work great! They stay in place, you dont have to worry about a coord, and the sound quality is actually very good. They are on the steep side price wise but if you work out even once a week they are certainly worth it in the long run. The company is great too, customer support is wonderful!

    The sennheiser ones are pretty decent, not break the bank expensive either.

    I can't remember the brand but mine have a piece that wraps over the top of my ear and I love them! My earbuds would always fall out while running which drove me crazy. I got mine at Wal-mart they were under 15 dollars and have lasted for a good year and a half so far.
