Does anyone have any suggestions for a good pair of running headphones I can plug into my Iphone? My buds keep falling out midrun and its driving me crazy! Nothing too expensive please :)

    I have a pair of Phillips Sports In-Ear Hadphones from Target. I'm pretty sure they were under $30. I like them because they have the soft earbuds that fit in your ear, but also the loops that go over your ear. I'm not sure they are waterproof, but they have been working well for me so far.

    You can probably google them to see what they look like, and then just pick them up next time you go shopping!

    I have a pair of Nike ones ($20 at Walmart) that are waterproof - they are old style over the head but with ear buds on the ends. LOVE THEM!!!

    Skull Candy.

    Only brand of earbuds I've found that don't fall out when I run.

    i use the kind that wrap around your ear because even the squishy ear buds fall out when i get sweaty.. i buy mine from the dollar store. It's like 5 dollars for a pack of three kinds of things to listen with (the squishy ear buds, the kind that have the band that goes over the top of your head, and the kind that wrap around your ear) they have never worn out before i lost them, so they last at least a couple of months

    Skull Candy or another brand with the soft ear buds that actually fit into and almost mold to your ear are the only ones I've found that won't fall out,.

    I got some ifrogs from Wal-Mart for $10 and love them. I had two pairs of Skull Candy that were good for running, but one ear went out in both pairs. I won't buy anymore.

    Motorola S9-HD (they're bluetooth; no cord)

    There's also an S10-HD now, but this probably means the S9-HD's can be found cheaper.

    I got a pair of wrap around ones that are waterproof at Best Buy. Think they cost $30. I want to say they're Phillips, but I can't recall at the moment. They stick in my ear like glue until I pull them out. Worth every penny.

    Sony sells some that go over the ear. I got mine for about $30 at Radio Shack.

    I buy the Sony ones that hook around the ear and they barely go into the ear. The buds always hurt my ears and being that these dont go all the way in, they dont hurt and they stay in place throughout my run.

    I have the kind that wrap around the ear, they're just a $20 pair from target and I've had them for years. They don't budge while running.

    Skull Candy 2XL are awesome. I dropped my iphone today while they were plugged in and my iphone just hung there (i.e., the weight didn't pull them out of my ears).

    I got mine on a groupon for $8, if you search around for a few days maybe they'll run another one.

    I have freakishly tiny ears and can never find buds that fit. Skull candy did but I worried about cramming something so far down in my ear...I have a pair of Nike ones that I love love. The speaker part fits over opening of ear then the frame goes over ear and behind neck. They stay put no matter how sweaty you get. Sure bet :) good luck

    I don't like the things over my ears. Yurbuds work great for me. The used to sell just the earbud covers but looks like now you have to buy as part of a set .

    Great, thanks for all the options! Especially the ones I can use with my Target card!

    I gave up on earphones. I don't like running alone and unable to hear, I want to be able to hear when I'm about to be attacked. I could be over cautious though. If I'm outside I just play my music at a level that's not too loud.
