Earphones for Running

I wear the large size pads with my earbuds but they still ease out when I'm sweating in the heat of my workout.  I'm constantly pushing them back in for the rest of the run   

This is really aggravating!    Can anyone recommend earphones for running?

I have seen several people using an over the ear model.

I haven't used them myself.

Like these here You can get them in a variety of styles and costs.  I have seen them as low as 5-8 bucks and I imagine the sky is the limit.

The first time you do something - It's going to be a personal record!

i use cheapo over the ear sports models, usually less than 20 bucks @ target or wal-mart.  the ear buds always fall out on me.
Where are we going??  And why am I in this handbasket??

right now.  somewhere.  somebody is working harder than you.

Thanks for your input.  I agree, I think whatever style I go with I'll try an inexpensive version before putting my hard earned cash down for something pricey that doesn't work for me.  I'm learning that the exercise industry, like everything else, is a dog eat dog racket to make $$$. 
Caveat emptor!!

Can I suggest that if you run on the road you put the left one in and secure the other on so that you can hear the traffic better.

For your concern, I thank you Scott!  I run/walk on the track at this point.  As I improve and my family/ work/ life tries to chip away at my workout time I may actually take it to the street.  A few years ago a 42 year old wife & mom was killed while jogging early in the morning by a car in the community right next to mine.  I always remember her.  Again, thanks!

my ears were not designed for buds.  I've used over the ear ones happily.  I have some buds on a headband that i like, but only when I have a ponytail to hold the headband on top of my head.

I think our ears may have been designed in the same shop.  I'm going to try something else.  And yes, my hair can be an issue that gets in the way too.  Thanks for the tip.
