Good Headphones for Gym?

Mr E

I got new headphones this morning for my MP3 player. They're Sony, and have an 'over ear' clip for active use. Sounds good, right?

Not really. If you do anything faster than a walk, these do anything but stay in your ears. I'll be returning them tomorrow.

Does anyone have recommendations for earbud style headphones that stay in your bloody ear while you're running?

Argos used to have great Phillips headphones (Nike branded) with adjustable overear clips, but don't do them any more.

I can't think of any, I was going to say look in the Argos book but seen as you already have I will not say it

What kind of money are you prepared to spend? Get a pair of Shure E2, they will cost you about €70 and wont budge:) Great sound, great value compared to others. If you don't want to bother with onlin malarky of buying them, then perhaps get a pair of sony fontopia 71xls, they are available in dixons and the likes for about €50, but seriously an extra €20 for the Shures will get you a much better pair and don't blame me if the right ear of the Sony gives up after a few months use:( try ebay for the shure seller wind130 if I recall:)

got a pair of Sony MDR-EX71SL in the ear headphones. As cormie said, with the first pair one of the ear's failed after about 3 months, brought it back to the Sony store and they gave me a new pair which have worked grand since (about 16 months)...

they should have another pair...gold coloured on the speakers and a rubber clip...about €30 but well worth it..good sound and they don't budge an inch..only thing I find is I run the cable down my back inside the shirt and it can move sometimes when ur sweating..but this is only a minor thing..
