Hey all, I was just wondering what headphones y'all use when y'all run, or what brands y'all would recommend, doesn't matter the price just how well it works.

    I have trouble keeping them in my ears when running.

    I went through a few (isport, beats) wireless ones, the ones that came with my samsung phones and kept having one or the other pop out.

    Finally settled on Gear Iconx true wireless earbuds. They stay in my ears better than any others I've tried, have no wires and have 4 gb of storage, so I don't need my phone when I run. And I have a big Samsung phone so I'm glad to leave it at home. I can't say enough good about them. I normally just put one in when running outside so I can still hear people coming up behind me.

    Liked them so much I bought my wife a pair.

    I posed this same question several months back in the fitness forum, maybe you could do a search for it but to sum up my findings... lots of recommendations and I tried them all. Every single pair stopped working after a week, it was beyond frustrating. I kept sending them back and trying a different brand. They all seem to have the same trouble. My standard iPhone headphones that came with the phone are my tried and true. I wish they were wireless but at least they work and are dependable.

    I recently got a pair of AfterShokz open ear, bone conduction headphones. I like them. I never have listened to music very loudly anyway, so it’s not that I didn’t hear my environment before, but I’m less immersed in the music now (and equally immersed in environmental noise).

    I have the Mini size and they are still a little big for my head. I don’t think I have some sort of Beetlejuice small head, but maybe I do? And nothing goes in my ears so nothing falls out (as I’ve never found a pair of anything that fit comfortably in my ears-although I found some that worked reasonably well).

    I use the Plantronics Backbeat. They never fall out and feel comfortable even after hours of running. Battery life is great and they are waterproof.

    AfterShokz are my recommendation. I've bee using them just over a year and would never go back to anything else.

    I haven't graduated to Bluetooth yester but from experience Yurbuds work great for staying in your ears.

    I went from Apple AirPods to trekz titanium. I like being able to still hear my surroundings

    My favorites are the Philips she3590. They’re wired, but super comfy and secure. They do block all outside noise, though, so I wear only 1 when running outside.

    I’ve tried a couple wireless options (Senso and Beats) and they were five, but didn’t match the comfort of the Philips.

    I like my Phaisers quite a bit. The stay put in my ears, no matter how much I sweat, have a good battery life, and have lasted over a year so far. I paid about $35 for mine.

    I have Yurbuds. I was frustrated with ear buds always falling out on runs. These stay put. Also they don't totally block your hearing, so you can hear traffic/ambient noise. As a result, the fidelity isn't as good for music, but it's a trade off. If I had the money, I'd be interested to get Aftershokz. Tried them in the store & they were pretty cool.

    I just picked up my millionth :) pair of running headphones and I think I finally found something I like. Aftershokz Trekz. They sit on your head (not in your ears). They sound decent and allow me to hear others (and even talk).
