Headphones that will keep sweat out of my ears?

When I workout, I usually do a little over 6 miles of cardio and during that time, sweat goes into my ears. The headphones I currently use seem to hold the sweat in there. I had to use ear drops to get it out because it felt like I had water in my ears for a couple weeks like you might get when swimming. Can anyone suggest headphones that might help prevent sweat from getting trapped in the ears?

I currently use these over the ear headphones made by sony. They stay on good and are good if you're not gonna sweat a lot.

Thanks

    I have a similar problem, but it is not that sweat get into my ears, but the sweat soaks up my headphones and after a while they stop working.

    I have tried both the in-ear buds as well as over the head ones. Having the same problem with both.

    Are there any ear buds out there that are more waterproof and wouldnt get damaged because of sweat during an intense workout?

    Interesting I have the opposite problem. The sweat that develops in my ears make my earbuds fall out. LOL I use the ones that came with my ipod. I could also use a suggestion on a better set.

    I have an Ipod so it comes w/ ear buds instead of headphones. They stay in really well and I don't ever feel like I have sweat that goes in my ears.

    I actually discovered these headphones called YurBuds..but they are amazing. I used to get so frustrated when I ran because my headphones would just fall right out or I would get so sweaty and they wouldn't stay put. I tried numerous headphones that would promise they would stay in, but none of them would until I found YurBuds.

    These earbuds/headphones are bit expensive (49.99) if you buy it through their website, but they are worth it. They don't even move after running and drenched in sweat. Also, the volume can be kept on the lowest level and not damage your ears.

    Also, you can check ebay to see if they are cheaper, I got mine from there...

    I have a pair of Phillips over the ear buds, these are not like ipod headphones rather they fit into the ear canal basically. Picked them up at Target about 2 years ago and love them. I never have to worry about them slipping out when I'm hot and sweaty. I run and they don't move!

    I use a set of earphones that I bought from Best Buy for about 20 dollars. They fit in your ears, but they also hook over the tops of your ears, so they don't have to be pushed into your ears to stay. They just sort of hover nearby. I've included a link to some similar--they're more expensive, but they show what I'm talking about. I run with them all the time and have no problems either with them staying in place or with them trapping sweat in my ears.

    I've had problems with earphones for years. Apparently my ear canals were not designed with earphones in mind. But the ones I have now are absolutely the best design I've found. I'll never go back to the horrible "perch in your ear" type again.

    Hope this helps.

    I have Koss Path finder earbuds, they are plug-like so they could maybe hold everything out of your ears:)

    I got special running headphones that are supposed to prevent the whole sweat thing, and the do noticeably work, cheap too (£10 in HMV sale), they're Philips (and bright orange, with a little black clip you can remove and three sizes for different ears)
