Earbuds for running - heavy sweater here!

I use Nike over the ear sport earphones. They stay on my ears and are made to be sweated on. Hope that helps.

I've seen the sweatbands I just don't remember where. Most likely you would find them in a sporting goods store.

Sony *used* to make some really good water/sweat resistant headphones/earbuds. I haven't looked for them lately as I don't run. LOL

I use Sony that go over the ear. Yes, after about 6 months they short out, but I get them at about $12 so I dont mind replacing them. The sound quality is awesome too!!!

I purchased a pair of earbuds from zagg.com called ZaggSmartbuds a few months ago, and they work really well for me. I only recently started back to the gym, so I don't have a ton of experience with them while running, but the way you put them on really helps to keep them in place (check out the site to see what I mean).

Also, it appears that they just came out with earbuds that, according to them, "... are water-resistant, weatherproof earbuds ideal for active gadget lovers..." The ones that I bought aren't waterproof apparently, but these might be just what you're looking for.

Sorry if this sounds like a canned response from someone who works for them; I'm not an employee, just a satisfied consumer.

I use behind-the-head bluetooth headphones that have foam ear pads that go over the ear (not in the ear). I sweat a lot as well. I like them because they are wireless and they don't go in my ears. I also really like the behind the head style since it's out of the way and I usually forgot they're on.

For the iPhone I use Apple's more pricey inEar iBuds

for the cheaper old iPod earbuds I had to use a clip on additions by GRIFFIN and iTRIP ..one is discontinued and neither fit the new design of the iPhone buds, anyway... in any case the ones in the link come with similar padding to make it fit my ear properly.

All the supplied earbuds I got with _any_ iPod/Phone were uncomfortable, fell out and/or didn't sound any good because of improper contact but the above solutions worked for me.

I have the same problem...earbuds are too big and sweat in my ears! I spent an hour last Friday in Best Buy looking...didn't purchase because I don't want to be buying and returning. Can't wait to see the suggestions.

Thanks everyone! My ears are just special. I have tried the standard Sony inner ear earbuds and they'll stay in my right ear but ALWAYS fall out of my left no matter what size bud I use (small, med, or large). I have the Sony PIIQs right now that clip onto the lobe and it still falls out of my left ear.

I'm going to look into some of the options everyone has posted. Thanks so much for the awesome suggestions!

I have the same problem, everything falls out of my right ear. With these Zeal earphones the customizable rubber things make it easy to wear different sizes in each ear. One ear gets a small one and the other gets a large.

I use Sony earbuds that came with 3 different sized cushions - $9.99 on sale at Zellers and they work and sound great. No problems and never fall out. They have been the ONLY earbuds I've ever used successfully for running. You can also try the Sony wrap arounds. Good luck!

Lies! I actually have the panasonic ones - not sony. And they are awesome. Inexpensive (so you don't have to worry about losing them or sweating in them) and decent enough sound quality. Not perfect but you get what you pay for. $9.99 for earbuds is pretty damn cheap!

EDIT - I have the very same problem as you - my ears are oddly shaped and the buds just do not stay in. But these panasonic ones are really good and don't hurt your ears after 5 mins like most of the others. Give them a try!

I'm bumping this one too! I need to find a new set that don't "slide" out of my ears everytime I'm running! :laugh:

Try the panasonic ones! The $19.99 ones will not slide out - promise! And 20 bucks for a pair of earphones ain't bad

Thanks!! Found them on Amazon for $8.65 :bigsmile:

I have a visor made by a company called Headsweats. Its a great sweatband and doesn't look like one. I picked it up at fleetfeet.

Yurbuds, hands down, are the best. They are sweat-proof and water resistant and will NOT FALL OUT no matter what you do with them. Nothing else ever worked for me, Sennheiser, Bose, Sony, etc etc etc.

I have a major problem. I cannot seem to find earbuds that will stay in my ear. The iPod type earbuds are too large and the inner ear earbuds slip out once I start sweating. I tried one brand of ear clips that stayed in my ears but ended up shorting them out with sweat in about 5 months. So here are my questions to all of you:

1. Which earbuds do you wear when you run? Are the sweatproof/resistant? Be specific with brands/styles if you can.

2. Is there any head gear you would suggest for catching sweat before it runs down into my ears? Do they make sweatbands anymore? Is that super geeky?

I love running but I have to have music and I hate messing with my buds the entire time I'm running. Help!

I have these: http://www.amazon.com/Philips-SHE9850-Headphones-Advanced-Acoustics/dp/B00176TEGM

They have GREAT sound quality but they also come with 4 ear cushions.

For running, I have to use the memory foam ear cushions. They're similar to ear plugs: you roll them between your fingers to warm them up and compress them and THEN stick them in your ears. they WILL NOT MOVE.

These ear buds were the best $80 I ever spent.
