I've tried the sony ex71 whatever and also the ones with the plastic wrapping thing around it.. Both don't work for me. They fall out every single time i start doing any kind of movement.

Does anyone know of any good buds or headphones that will stay on while running and jogging? I am hoping to spend no more than $90. Help!

//edit
I purchased the KOSS KSC-75 and just tried them this evening while running/playing bball at my local 24hr. These headphones were just what i've been looking for.

Also, my Sony's coincidently crapped out on me today during class.. and i just took the plunge and purchased the Shure e2c after reading Mulono's suggestion.

Thanks to all that helped me make the KOSS decision and hopefully the Shure's as well!

It depends...I have the ~$30 Sonys and they fit like a glove. Depends on whether U have deformed earholes or not I guess :p

i DO NOT have deformed earholes!?!? :|:p I just have small ears! The sony one fit if i was walking or something but when i started to run.. they just simply lost its "seal" and the wrap around ones didn't really wrap around my ears.. they just added to the weight. Argh.

as a side-note; I'm not sure if you want in-canal ear buds when running outside. I know I want to be aware of encroaching traffic whether it is bikes, other joggers, automobiles, etc. If you are on a treadmill I guess then the earbuds would be a good idea.

:thumbsup: Just go with a cheap headphone/earphone if you are going to be running on road.

KOSS KSC-75 FTW!!!! THE BEST HEADPHONES YOU CAN BUY FOR $ 19.99 !!
I have tried some very expensive headphones such as the SONY Phonotopias and what not, the KSC-75 are pure winners.

Went out and got the KSC-75 earlier today and just tried them on right now. Very comfortable and the sound quality is great! Best $20 i've spent on headphones. Thanks for all that recommended and commented. I've found my workout phones. The best thing about these is that they're cheap, quality, and i can get them at cc if they ever end up breaking!

If you ever want to reconsider, the Sure E2Cs are great for staying in your ears. They are incredibly sound-isolating/noise-cancelling, due to their ear-canal design. I own these, and can tell you that they are worth every penny!
