Sports Headphones

DD Mikasa

OK, since I moved into the smartphone world I am looking to take full advantage of they toy - up to now I run in silence - so am sorting myself out with all the necessary/unnecessary accessories.

Can anyone recommend any sport headphones on the market right now? Would it be worth going for Bluetooth ones? They seem to mostly get mixed reviews online or they dont have any reviews at all, like this

Or would a non-Bluetooth pair like this be fine?

Having had klipsch s4i (100 euro) and Ultimate Ears UE350 (50 Euro)

I found these the best below. Perfect for running. You don't need the wrap around the ear thingy for them as there are inserts for all ear types.

found these to be amazing, my ears are a bit difficult from a fit point of view, but the sound, comfort an battery life of these is fantastic! Believe there is a never version now even smaller form factor.
Also tried LG and plantronics but the jaybird were far ahead (also tried the jaybird sporstband and it didnt really suit).

I picked up these SENNHEISER Adidas OMX 680 in a bargain basket going through an airport. Fit is great as you can manipulate the over ear piece, sound quality is good - not €60 good, but €30 good what I paid. They're designed for iPhone (which I don't have), so the volume control doesn't work on my mp3 player.

I use these ...http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0035JKJ2W/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 ...Sennheiser/Adidas CX 680 - good sound quality, dosen't fall out of ears, fairly robust and well made, does the job fine for me anyway

Thanks for the advice guys. I think for now I will give the Philips a go, based on the fact that they are easily the cheapest - plus the reviews for them on Amazon are quite good.

In time I may chance one of the others, if I feel I HAVE to upgrade!

Thanks again.

These are the best headphones I have used, very comfortable, you get alot of fittings to suit your ear and also comes with pouch and arm band, extenable cable.

Yeah ill second the Phillips, got a pair of em a few months ago, perfect for running and sweat proof. Great value too.

I've been wearing in ear headphones for years but occasionally found them annoying in terms of the noise you can get through the wire rubbing off clothing etc, I think it's called microphonics, plus when you get extra sweaty I've had to constantly adjust them.

I recently received a new pair that have the over the ear plastic piece and it makes a huge difference, there's no interference via the wire so you don't need to have the volume up as loud, and they sit better as you run.
