    No worries... I went through 2 other sets of headphones before settling with these. They don't budge!

    Dont worry about looking silly. Run alongside the traffic and add a pair of dark sunglasses to your ensemble while talking to your wrist and people will just think you're a bodyguard.

    Now who's silly...

    if you're willing to buy online, and spend a few more quid, the sennheiser px100's are brilliant...they don't fall off and they sound really good...

    I use the 300 and find them great.

    For me its Sennheiser all the way. I've used them for my Dj work and personal use for years and they sound good and last well.

    I buy all my personal ones from an e bay buyer here in Ireland and he is very fast http://stores.shop.ebay.ie/Digital-Lifestyle-Products_Headphones-Earphones_W0QQ_fsubZ291307012QQ_sidZ770607852QQ_trksidZp4634Q2ec0Q2em322
