plowmanjoe · 01-04-2009, 02:37 AM

i'm looking for some quality headphones that are good for running. they need to be comfortable and not fall out. looking to spend about 50 max in ebay dollars.

If you mean you're looking for something only on eBay then here. I can attest to their quality.

They are extremely comfortable, sound great, stay in place, are light-weight, are "stylish"

, and are great noise-blockers.

I've heard great things about the V-Modas. Never tried them myself though.

My personal favorites, after years of trying to find the best ones for jogging, are the Sony EX-81 in-ear headphones. They stay in place, stay in your ear canals so you get good bass, and are durable. I highly recommend them!

V-Modas are something that I've been eyeing for awhile. However, my wife and I both like our Skullcandy earbuds. They stay in when working out and like most have multiple sizes. Sound isn't bad- I have the INK'd series. I picked them up on Amazon this second go around (dog ate my first pair) for $10.

...for $10, they can fall apart on me and I can buy a new set.

This is the portable music section. Crazy, but not every topic is about blu-ray here.

...love your name/avatar though.

Yeah, I used to have those until the falling out of my ear got really annoying. That's why I went to the model up (the 81s) that have the hook around the ear. MUCH better - I NEVER have a problem with them falling out!

sony makes a great wrap behind-the-neck pair, that are also waterproof!

they retail for under 20$.

If your running on the road, I don't think you want something to block out noise, that could be bad.

xtop · 01-07-2009, 12:19 AM

i hate the in ear headphones, they never stay in and they always hurt.

gotta get the kind that wrap around your ears. and remember kids, when running on roads, don't get run over because you can't hear anything but music

Lol, those damn Hybrids can be hard to hear on slow streets.

You really need to try the earbuds I'm talking about. I guarantee you that you would change your mind.

I agree, I hate them too!!! The other issue is they block out all the external sounds which could be dangerous when jogging.

I use B&O A8. They sound great; they are very comfortable; they will stay in place when jogging, and they don't block out all the ambient sound so you can pay attention to your surroundings when jogging.

They are a little expensive, ($160 retail), but they are worth every penny.

Caution: make sure you purchase actual B&O product. I made the mistake of buying a second pair from an Amazon marketplace seller for $60. They were cheap knockoffs that looked almost identical to the real B&O product. They do not have the same tension in the barrels and would not stay on my ears and then they fell apart. Fortunately the marketplace seller took the garbage back and I was refunded full price.

Yeah, I can keep the v-modas in for hours without them falling out or hurting, I totally forget I even have them in.

I know everyone is a Bose basher here but I do like some of their products and one of them are their headphones. I use these for when I work out and they work great, never fall out and the quality is good.

I might give those a try, looks like their only $19.99 on amazon. I've been using these J Buds http://www.amazon.com/JBuds-Hi-Fi-No...433030&sr=1-12 that were like $9.99, but now are $48.99 on amazon, although the whites are only $18.81. These are decent but not great.

I would be careful with buying those Bose earbuds on eBay. There have been some copycat ones that aren't as good yet have identical packaging and looks. At least that's what I heard off Youtube.

I would just buy them Bose direct. I was extremely close to buying those buds since they were in the price range I was willing to spend when I was looking for earbuds. I read tons of reviews that said they sounded great but fell out a lot.

I wish there was somewhere where I could have tried both out for myself.

So they are comfortable? How exactly do they sound.
