I appreciate there have been several topics on this before, but none really answer all my desires for headphones for my ipod.
Basically- I like the ones that come with the ipod- except they always fall out, and as it gets warmer I can't keep jogging with a hat on to keep them in.
I also want earphone that allow me to hear outside noise- not only to stop being run over, but also because sometimes I converse with my jogging partner. (And run in quiet areas, and like to be 'aware' if there are people around me.)
I don't particularly want 'over head ones', nor the bulky ones that look a bit like ear-muffs.
I looked through a few of the reviews on the site, and the Sony MDR-EX81 ones looked perfect except for two major things:
they kill some outside sound, and they are in canal type ones.
Do earphones exist which have the same ear clip design, semi-decent sound (I don't require anything amazing- I listen to such a wide range I wont find anything perfect within my student price range), but are NOT in-canal sound killing ones?
Or is it possible to get 'ear clip' attachments to add to my ipod ear buds just when exercising?
Thanks :)
