ipod headphones have worked for me for years, no problems.

If Bluetooth is an option look at JayBirds

I like these by jabra. They have wired ones also. I know you don't like the wrap around the ear but for me, the other ones like the silicon bud type earphones, they fall out after a while from the sweat.

I can see maybe ones like the iphone may stay in regardless of sweat but I never tried.

I used regualr iPhone earbuds with yurbuds silicon covers on them for probably the last 2+ years. Worked fine. Though I started to tire of the wire constantly pulling around to my back. I wear an armband. Also recently I have found that the headphones don't work as well. Tried multiple pairs. I think I just have sweat too much into the headphone jack. So just last week I picked up a Jaybird Bluebuds X. I have liked them. I also don't like wrap around the ear style. You can wear these 2 different ways. I've actually found that I like them wrap around the ear style and they fit better in my ears that way.

I thought I was the only one still using those Sony headphones. They are great but I have to buy a couple pairs a year. At $10-$15 it wasn't an issue. Since they were disco'd I converted to the Yurbuds. They get the job done. They stay in my ear but not as perfect as the Sony did. I occassionally have one fall out on a long run. Sound quality is actually not as good as the Sony but I haven't gotten used to the different sound. I went for the lifetime warranty version as I seem to be fairly rough on my headphones.

I've a couple hundred quids worth of headphones/earbuds that I've tried and failed to use successfully.
Only things I can use while running are neckband style headphones, Sennheiser/Adidas PMX.

Feel free to add me on twitter!

wired: yurbuds
wireless: Jaybird bluebuds

+ whatever for yurbuds, first earphones I can leave in my ears all day without being irritated and I can hear things around me when the music is off

I need to try jaybirds b/c i do like wireless though

THIS!! I have the Jaybirds (2 years now) and love them, only problem is they don't give you much warning when the juice is running low. My wife has never been able to find a headphone that she likes and recently bought some Yurbuds, she loves them.

Jaybird Bluebuds X are great! I've been using mine for about 9 months and I really like them. Good battery life and sound quality. Good luck!

I use Bose Sport SIE2 for running. They are also sweat proof too, which is nice and pretty durable. I haven't had issues with them yet.

Sennheiser is pretty good and sweat proof. Comfortable and they offer both full wrap around the back of your head, as well as wrap around the ear.

Mine bit the dust after just 7 months. Hugely disappointing given the price.

Polk Audio makes some good "sport style" ones. Loud as f but good quality so you are ringing after listening to your "one song" for a few hours :-)

I had never been able to find earbuds that stayed in really well until these. They are amazing, and inexpensive on Amazon. They never fall out of my ear - literally never (unless I yank on them with my hand on accident or something).

Wait, all these responses and no one has said to not run with earbuds or you will likely die, or else miss the beauty and joy of running, or...

Anyway, I like the Panasonic cheap in ear ones. 1. They are cheap 2. They come with a variety of silicon ear pieces to help make them fit better

I do miss those over the head Sony ones.

If you don't mind some bulk, these are super cheap, comfy, surprisingly good sound, and they can take some bashing.

I personally think yurbuds are the most uncomfortable headphone ever created.

I really liked the headphones that came with my Galaxy S3, but they too crapped out. I replaced those with the new Sony MP3 walkman, which is basically the size of sport bluetooth headphones. $90 and super simple, no more packing a phone/mp3 player. I still want a pair of jaybirds for Netflix.

Looks like Sony discontinued mine too.

I've had good luck with the previous version of the MDR-AS200. It does double your replacement cost, but I get over a year per $20 investment :D

Thanks for all of the helpful advice. I found a super cheap 'headband' model from Maxell (HB-202) and tried those. They look (and are) as flimsy as they are inexpensive. But the sound is pretty good. And the entire thing is so light that, at least for my head/ear size, they totally stay put during a run. If you were a fan of the Sony MDR-W08L (now discontinued), I recommend that you try these. BUT...there are multiple pictures on the web for the same model, not all are accurate vs the actual item. The Maxell website has the best photo - they are $6.99 there, but backordered and shipping is not free. Prices at Amazon suggest that these are also discontinued (or soon to be), but I found a number of vendors with sub-$10 prices (some of these looked pretty sketch, though). I went with an eBay seller at $7.49/ea and free shipping. Trying one is pretty inexpensive (especially compared to all of our other gear)...

I use the Monster iSport. The multiple sizes allow for a nice fit.
