Hey,

I have an iphone and those ear buds that come with the phone suck! I need some good ear buds that are comfortable and will stay in place when I'm running (or trying to run, haha). I have very small ears, I wonder if they make child/teenage size ear buds.

LMK if you have any suggestions. Thanks in advance!

    I love my Yurbuds!

    They stay put, and allow surrounding sound in enough so that I can hear a car, etc. but the music is loud enough to hear.

    I haven't tried Yurbuds yet, but they have gotten rave reviews. The ones I have currently (which I'm going to replace soon actually) are ones that I have had for over a year. They were $9.99 at Target. They came with two sizes of silicone bits for different sized ears. Hope that helps a bit!

    I bought a Motorola S9-HD Bluetooth headphones. Made life running and in the gym so much more enjoyable! Plus you can use it to answer and make phone calls as well! Only like $40 bucks and well worth it. Plus it came with I believe 6 or 7 different earbud inserts, so it should fit you.

    Skullycandy's are awesome, but have a lot of base, but anything that is in ear stay in great while running, and kind of block out the rest of the world haha.

    I got the Yurbuds Blaze. They go behind the neck.
    Can't find them on the Yurbuds website so maybe they stopped making them but Amazon or Best Buy has them.
    They work great! Will not fall out!

    I have the Dr. Dre Beats and they sound amazing. Little pricey but I have them in my ears 12 hours a day and they stay in no matter what

    I recently bought the "JayBird" Freedom Bluetooth earbuds. They are a little high in price at $99 but well worth it for anyone looking for wireless headphones. I jog/run a few miles at a time and did not like dealing with cords. They have many other functions that I have not yet tried, but I can say that the sound is amazing!

    I like the one's that wrap around your ears. The others fall out too easy.

    I second this, I LOVE mine! I sweat a ton when I run/workout and these always stay in place and the sweat doesn't get in my ear. Great quality and very durable. Love em!

    Oh and they have them now at Target and Walmart. Before that, I could only find them online or in running stores.

    There are so many kinds of ear buds but be careful with the cheap ones. Some of them transfer the noise of bumping on the cord when you are active. When you buy a pair, start using them and then tap the cord with your finger. You should not hear that sound as a thumping in your ears, if you do, return the ear buds and get a better set.

    I swear by my Sennheiser earbuds. They're comfortable, the sound quality is A+, and they're super durable. Mine have lasted longer than any other pair that I've had previously and I use them CONSTANTLY.

    Newegg.com has great deals on them periodically.

    I got a pair of Sony' at Radio Shack for $15.00. But I have sen them at Staples and they are on Amazon too.

    Sony MDR-AS20J Active Style Headphones with Soft Loop Hangers

    They go over the ear with a small frame. I hate stuff in my ear and all the ear buds were obnoxious for longer runs. Some even fell out. You can still hear traffic too. It comes with a clip so that you can put keep the wires out of the way. I am actually on my second pair and would buy a third.

    I got some Philips Action Fit Shq1000/28 for $13 from Amazon. They have interchangeable covers to fit your ear. I sweat profusely and these have not slipped even on 9 mile runs at 80 degrees. The sound is pretty damn good too.

    I agree 100% that the earphones that come with iPods suck balls.

    Ditto the Bluetooth headphones! Can't tell you how many times I've been on the treadmill & sent my phone flying after snagging a cord on an arm swing.
