    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 :wink:

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

    I sweat a lot too. So far I have had the best luck with yurbuds (http://www.yurbuds.com/) staying in my ears.

    I have a hat with a Sweatvac band inside. It seems to deal with sweat pretty well. I see they also sell headbands. I may have to order some for myself. http://www.sweatvac.com/index.php

    Oh, here's an article about earbuds that you might find interesting/helpful: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/21/technology/personaltech/21pogue.html?_r=1&scp=2&sq=yurbuds&st=cse

    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.

    i use Skull Candy's in-ear buds and they work pretty well. i sweat a lot too and use a simple headband i got at Target (one of those cloth ones) and it works well.

    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 love my skull candy earbuds since they have awesome sound quality but I don't use them when exercising or running because I have the tendency to pull them out of my ears.

    Instead, I use the Sony sport earphones that are an over the head version of an earbud. They aren't that expensive and they still produce sound which I'm perfectly happy with. They feature an open air design which I actually prefer over my earbuds because I can still hear traffic and stuff around me which is great for running on the roads with traffic.

    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. ;)
