Is an absolutely ####ty experience. I bought a pair of skull candy inkd for $10 at the store and these #######s fall out of my ears all the time (especially when running)! I have never been so ####ed at earphones while running (or hell just moving and working out) in a long time.
Ive heard good things about the sennheiser sports series phones. Can anyone sway me one way or another on what kind to get for working out? Just want something that will last, and doesn't cost anymore than $50. I sweat alot too, so sweatproof would be nice so they dont slip out of ear. Thanks

ps- the reviews for the omx70 on amazon dont look very good. Has anyone tried to twist to fit earphones by sennheiser?

More than $50 but I find that the Sony EX90 stays in well when exercising.

Sony's MDR-AS40EX is worth a look-has a in-ear sports style design.

I've been looking at getting the Jaybird JB200 headphones. They look pretty cool but there aren't many reviews out.

Hi. I use the Skull Candy in ear for working out. Lifting, stair machine, eliptical and out side bike riding. Do not have any problems with them. Just to make sure you are putting them in properly. Use the different plug sizes for a while to make sure you have the right fit. Might have to you use a different size for each ear. If you reach over your head and grab the top of your oppisite ear and pull up and out you will be able to get a better fit and seal on the plug. Take a little practice but makes a big difference. Hope this helps.

I use Sennheiser's OMX 50 VC-ear hook style, you can mould the hook for the right fit.

Also like to use my MXL 70 VC-sweat and water proof.

I've had good success using the foamies on some Etymotic ER6i's. Not the most punchy sound for working out, but they at least stay in.

Me too. Except that I paid $100 for mine, but they're well worth it.:)

snap, best in-ear ones I've had the pleasure of using.

Tried a couple of different Shure's but didn't like the sound, the Bose have a natural sound to me

If you asked me to pay for $100, I'll spend the money on a pair of Audio Technica CK7
