Need good Sports Headset for Android NOT iPhone

I have the HTC myTouch 4G and sometimes I use it while running. The Headset that came with it is decent - stereo, can take calls/microphone, and can advance audio tracks. The problem is that I can't keep it in my ears while running.

Sooo, what I want is basically the same thing, but something with decent sound and more importantly some kind of clips to keep them in place while sweaty and running. Most/all of the third-party headsets are iPhone compatible, which do the sound but no mic and ~some~ audio track control.

Any recommendations are greatly welcomed. So far no replies from Android Central. :-(

Thanks...
 
my g1 came with an adapter that had the 1/8" plug and the audio controls/mic on a ~20" length. it then had a 1/8" female plug, into which you could plug the headphones of your choice. I've used it with my nexus one and htc sensation successfully - i imagine it would work on other HTC phones as well.

edit: scratch that. I totally forgot that to get it to work, i had to cut the wire and solder on the 1/8" plug, since it had HTC's ext-USB initially.

double edit: OP, why not a bluetooth headset? android supports avrcp so track control etc. should work fine. also avoids the wire flapping around while running. something like this:
