Which headphones for running?
Discussion
Cheap ones!
I use these, which give far better sound quality than the price suggests:

Im on my second set of these ( lost my first set ) http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/tv-dvd-audio/audio/h...
Cheap, good sound quality and never had one fall off or anything yet.

I've had these for just over a year now and can't fault them. Get used twice a week for running and four times a week for the gym. Sound quality is fine (I'm no audiophile, but the songs sound fine to me...). I really like the bar, keeps them secure and I don't experience any 'sound leakage' as the top review says - I think he just has the wrong-sized ear buds.

Same here. never fall out, and fit around your neck conveniently when you don't want them in. After about 2 years' use one of the speakers gave up and I replaced them with a look-alike pair from Lidl which were £3.99. Sound quality not so good, but once you are actually running you can't hear the difference over the panting/wind noise/clothing rub anyway.Sony in ear without a cable are great and waterproof so no issues with washing sweat off or running them under the tap.

Got a second set for my wife after she kept stealing mine, can get them for £45ish if you shop around.

Sennheiser CX685. I've tried a lot of these 'sports' buds over the years. These are by far the best for staying in the ears. They have extendable sliding pieces that press against the inner underside of your ear IYKWIM. They're not the best sounding but more than adequate when I'm running or beavering away in the gym.

These are great value, although I am connected.

Bugger, my Sennheisers have stopped working...they are around 6/7 years old.
Parkrun tomorrow morning too, looks like I'll have to use my walking ones (bud types) for the nonce, but now I am looking out for some proper jogging ones. The wrap around sort are the sort I'm after...but something new.

Well that's worth quoting! Parkrun tomorrow morning too, looks like I'll have to use my walking ones (bud types) for the nonce, but now I am looking out for some proper jogging ones. The wrap around sort are the sort I'm after...but something new.
Spelling thread . . . Should I, shouldn't I?
