    I have them as well. Perfect for a gym, but not great out on the street as they pick up too much noise when on a call. The mic is too far away from the mouth with them.

    Bluebuds look good, will probably pick a pair of them myself at some stage. They are earbuds but they wrap around nicely for when working out.

    I personally use "Jabra SPORT", great sound quality and they are much cheaper then "Sennheiser"

    SE MW600 is the one I always recommend. While not as slick as an all-in-one banded headphone setup, it lets you pick, choose and change the headphones that you use. Whereas with Jabras or whatever if the headphones don't work for you, you're down €100+.

    On top of that, because the electronics are on a little clip on your chest and not resting against your head, they're less susceptible to sweat damage and it's easier to find the buttons for changing song, increasing volume, etc.

    by the same company, they are pretty good. Paid around €70 from the US. good sound, they rarely slip due to the optional in ear grip that was included. decent enough sound, can make and take calls and remote control the audio player.

    they have one weird feature that is annoying, you have to hold the button to skip a track, would be better if it was hold to adjust volume and tap to skip. but other than that they are pretty good. Im 2 years owning them and use them every day with no problems.

    Got these the other day they are very good, only thing is the sound quality is not as good as i expected,could do with some bass built in. Overall they are great for the gym:)

    I 100% agree with you, I cant use buds, they just wont stay in my ear. Ive tried 100's of pairs but they just dont stay.

    The pair I recommend come with some in ear rubber dealys that hold it in secure, feels weird first time you use it but after 10 mins you dont notice, and they havent fallen out yet.
    I think that the rubber grips are free with all their headphones.
    If youre like me and cant get inear ones to stay then I would suggest trying them.

    I just ordered the jaybird freedom a few weeks back. They are excellent for the gym. Worth every cent.
