I would like a good pair of headphones to use when running (treadmill, not outside) or other movement sports/exercise. The stock headset has a terrible fit where they keep falling out.

As for the replacement I would like moderate price (under $80) since I intend a pair of higher end headphones to just list to the iPod in normal wear that will weigh on my wallet also.

Thanks!

Hey there - do you mean "in-ear" phones? If so, I recommend the Sony EX-71 available through www.Audiocubes.com

I don't see the point of canalphones like the EX71 if you're going to use them for exercising. The occlusion effect from the impact of the running will be clearly audible through the phones. While it's not difficult for some people to learn to ignore it, why take the risk? Just get a set of Koss KSC-35s, 50s, or 55s and you'll be set.

True with "impact" workouts; however, I use the EX71s nicely with elliptical, spinning and stair exercises!
