Running headphone recommendations anyone?

So I've been using in ear ear-buds that sort of "seal" in and block outside noise. These may not be the best for running but good for being on an airplane! They also tend to fall out while running if I don't have a hat or headband on to keep some tension on them.

I've done some google searches for reviews and found a few choices. I wonder if anyone here has some tried and true headphone you like? I see most have over the ear guards that keep them in place better. What do you have?

Thanks!

Tom

I actually like the kind you are using.
I think they feel much better than the standard ipod headphones.

The in ear ear plug vs. the ear buds.

The plugs are round cylinder shape and fit into the ear much better than the ear bud style, at least for me.

You can spend as much or as little as you want, from 8-10 dollars up to some really expensive bose brand.

I believe you can get them with the over the head band as well, so that would solve the problem of them falling out.

Thanks for the reply Scott. I do like the in ear fit. I'll keep looking into my options.

Sennheiser MX75 is what I'm using: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FJEYZS.
I went through about 4 or 5 different pairs when my sweat would short them out. These are supposed to be more 'sweatproof'. They do stay in the ears nice and are comfortable.

I just use the ones that came with my Ipod. I cut off the right cord and only use the left. It works well for me.

I have been using a pair of Sony MDR-AS20J headphones. Google them and read the reviews. They fit securely over the ear and have stayed in for me on all my runs so far.

I like the motorola s9 blue tooth headphones. They are wireless. I did have issues with my first pair the buttons stopped working but motorola sent me a replacement with no questions asked. It is really nice not to have to worry about wires.

I use the Nike Hatphones. The little speakers fit over your ears and there's a pouch for your Nano or shuffle along with the wire connections. The nano controls can be accessed on the outside of the hat but it's tricky at first. Can be used with the Nike + Ipod transmitter. Yes, I look like a hoodlum when I run but it's really comfortable. They are available for men and women in different colors, fabrics, etc.
