    Yes. Check out Bose. They don't come out unless you give them a good hard yank.

    They ALWAYS fall out of my ears, too. I use Sony over the head in the ear ones. Like a headband....I know I look old school but at least I don't have to worry about them all the time!

    I do this, as well! Keeps my ears warm in the cold tool.

    The brand called YUR buds, they are awesome, they really stay in your ear when you are doing any type of fast exercise, like running or jogging or power walking. Take a look at the website! They are a great purchase, I've had mine for almost a year now, and they still are great! They even came with the ear buds for 30 dollars! It was a great purchase. http://www.yurbuds.com/

    I second the vote for skullcandy! They work so well that when I take them out I'm shocked at how loud the gym is.

    I picked up a cheap pair of Philips ear clip style ear buds and they work great. They retail for about $10 but I found a pair for $6 at a Ross' store. I sweat profusely as well and have not had a problem out of them.

    I run wearing yurbuds (http://www.yurbuds.com/).

    The issue I've had with any of the ear buds that have the jam-it-in-your-ear rubber pieces, like the Skull Candy ones, is they block out too much ambient noise but then generate a whole lot of noise by transmitting any little rub of the wire on my shirt. I run outside and would prefer to not get hit by the cars I can't hear, so this is an issue for me. Yurbuds, however, don't do that. When I tried them on at the Wine and Dine Expo, I went into death metal thrasher mode and they stayed in. No other ear buds I've ever used, even the Skull Candy ones, can say that. And, I think because of the shape, I can actually listen to my iPod at a lower volume than I would have with just ear buds.

    Well worth the money for the Focus series ($29), if you ask me. If you go to any of the major race expo's there's usually deals on them. The IronMan series is a little expensive, tho.

    I use these white/clear JVC ones I bought at WalMart for like 9 bucks. They stay in my ear so much better than the apple ones. I don't think they ever fell out once.

    I have this problem due to excessive sweating. I am using the skullcandy currently and unfortunately for me they fall out.

    I use Skullcandy earbuds, and I have never had issues with them falling out during runs or other impact-type exercises! If you have a Marshall's near you, I get them there for around $20.
    I have those. They fall out of my ears when I sweat worse than any other kind. Plus, both mine and my daughter's stopped working right within weeks. Only one side has sound.

    Walmart also has them.

    THIS. I love them and they're cheap, but they still fall out and they rarely last more than a few months. Plus, on my most recent pair, the rubber bit keeps coming off in my ear. It's annoying.

    I always have issues with this. I own a pair of philips ear buds that wrap around the back of my ear that stay in place fairly well.... but still require adjusting while running.

    My trick is always wearing a hat the covers the top portion of the ear and holds the ear piece in place!

    I wear Bose and they are totally worth the money. They come with 3 different sized covers and the sound quality is wonderful. :smile:

    I have been using the skullcandy ones because they come with a small cover that fit nicely. I just don't think the sound is as nice as even the apple ones that the ipod comes with!
