    I use Nike Vapor Sport headphones. They hook around the ear and the cord part is very long, which is great. I also wear them so the cord is behind me-so much better to have it away from me than swinging in front while I'm running.

    I had the same problem. I bought some Skull Candy FIX and they stay put really well. they are actually designed to stay in your ear better and they do. I never have to mess with them any more when running.

    As a plus, they are iPhone compatible with the volume, stop/start/skip controls. These are the best ear buds I've owned.

    My smoking buds (Skull candy also) would not stay in at all. Constantly falling out.

    The only ones I can get to stay in and don't drive me nuts are Yurbuds. Never had a problem and I LOVE THEM!

    I use the adidas Sennheiser behind the neck headphones. Best 60 dollars I have spent. Personally, an earbud doesn't feel that comfortable when I'm running and most fall out. I decided that I would change up and invest in these about 2 years ago and it has been great...

    I use Shure SE-115s. I've seen the price fluctuate from $60-$90. I use my headphones hard and was fed up with replacing them every few months. The Shure headphones have a thicker cord and are the most durable headphones I've found. The foam pads need replaced every few months but you get replacement packs for a reasonable price. (I run with them almost everyday so mine may wear faster than others.) The best part is they come with a lifetime guarantee so be sure to register them. I can tell you from my own personal experience they honor it.

    Sony MDR AS20J - headphones - Over-the-ear, Binaural


    I have had the same problem until I bought these. You can't beat em' for 20 bucks. I got mine at Wal-mart but you can order them online. Sony also has another pair that look almost identical but the are 40 dollars. I don't know what the model is and other than an inline volume control I don't know what the difference is, maybe sound quality....

    The ones I put up there I use in my iPhone 4S and I almost always listen to Pandora. Other than ear phones falling out and getting sweat in them I have had a hard time finding ear phones that are loud enough for my taste especially if listening to Pandora. For some reason Pandora transmits kinda low. These bad boys are loud, clear, and never fall out of my ears. I have had them for about a year now and they never failed me.

    I own the best in ear bud headphones, I run use them during my long runs, 10ks, anywhere. they are a bit pricey though at $116..but sound quality is amazing... they are made by Bose MIE2i mobile headset/audio headphones. you can also use them as a headset for your iphone or blackberry phone. it has a volume /pause button on the wire great so you don't have to fumble with your device.

    For music
    IE2 audio headphones
    $89.95

    my husband loves his in ear ones...that loop over your ear so ensure they don't slip. they are called Beats by Dre in ear headphones. Good luck!

    great sound and you can rinse them off.. and they dont fall out either.. at all. you must flush them out. (and they are comfortable!)

    Earbuds don't stay in for me either. I use behind the neck headphones like these -- http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Sony+-+Street+Style+Behind-the-Neck+Headphones/9236258.p?id=1218072945062&skuId=9236258&st=headphones behind the neck&cp=1&lp=1 Comfy and stay on.

    I have the Yurbuds and I absolutely LOVE them! I don't have the BTE version, I tried those and they didn't stick in my ears, so I returned them and bought the regular bud ones and they are fantastic! They stay in my ears and it's lick a lock, when you put them in and twist, you actually can feel them lock into your ears. Walmart has them, Dunham's sells them as well. I highly recommend them!

    After years and years of swearing off headphones and earbuds...my husband showed up with a set of the LG Tone a few weeks ago for me and I'm in LOVE...they have not fallen out of my ears once...they are awesome and the fact that they are bluetooth is even better....I would definitely recommend to any runner!!!

    sennheiser-adidas PMX680(i)

    they are 1 piece with a band that fits comfortably behind your neck, but it lays fairly flat, so there's no problems doing weights in the gym whilst lying on your back
    they NEVER fall out
    very very COMFORTABLE
    great sound
    RELIABLE
    cool carry/travel case

    the PMX680 is the older model with the cable coming with an extender (nice if you want a short cable)
    the PMX680i have the 1 long cable & the volume control is smaller/lighter

    GREAT unit - you won't be sorry.

    these motorola S10-HD headphones have been awesome. i have owned them for about 2 months now. work great with my cell phone and with my ipod touch and ipad. only downside is they are wireless so you cant use them with a device that dosnt have bluetooth or the tv on the treadmill at the gym.

    my earbuds finally crapped out on me during my walk/run this morning. i'd love yurbuds but they aren't in my budget right now so I picked up these JVC ones today on sale for 15$

    I'll probably wear the cord in the back when my armpocket arrives
