I'm looking for some new buds that I'll be using to work out with. My Shure E3's have nice sound quality but dont stay in my ears while running and I think these aforementioned buds with their clip on style would stay in better.
Any opinions on which ones you guys would choose? Or is there another headphone that is even better to use while being active? Let me know guys. Thanks~ Gary

I can't stress this enough but I will run AWAY from Sony's crap everytime. Senns I don't think you can go wrong with although I don't know about those. I have MX400s for running around and PX200s for a little more Ummph! if needed. lol

I have the Senns and like them very much. They're comfortable, even with my glasses on, something many over the ears aren't. That said, if you have long ears, you may have to bend the stems a bit to get them to fit comfortably. Since you can get them for under $40, I think it's worth the gamble.

MX400s do not stay in well, at all.
I'd also stay well away from the EX81, which is an EX71 with clips.
But it's silly to dismiss all Sony kit some of which is great - and the EX90 (though clipless) stays in very well.
I'd also recommend the very light V-Moda bass freq as a running phone.
