Do you own some?

What brand would you recommend?

Is it better to have the necklace bit, or just the wire from one to the other? (does anyone know what I mean? lol)

I have these and love them. Found out about them on a running forum on FB. Worth every penny.

Yes +1 for these. I have never been able to use earphones while exercising because of the awful booming thundering noise the wires make when you move (why does no one ever mention this?) but these are great. They take me a minute or so to get on but no danger of falling out. And I have no idea how to adjust the volume. But recommend them nevertheless :)

You have my ears, Oldfloss !! No wonder I can't find ear buds to fit them ;) . I will be looking at your link there. Xx

£18.

Bomb-proof, very comfy (never slipped or fallen out in nearly 100 runs), what's not to like?

I had some cheap Mpow ones (about £15 from Amazon) and used them a lot, however the cable has got damaged and so I've gone for a different approach - a Bluetooth Receiver that allows you to use any pair of wired earphones.... Specifically a Griffin iTrip - seen them in Sainsburys for about £15 - you can then use anything you like from cheap JVC gummies to Beats by Dre.... this is partly because I'm brutal with earphones, they rarely last more than a couple of months, this way I can just use the cheap ones and still get that Bluetooth Wireless goodness!

I just can't get on with in-ear buds, have to wear over-ear headphones. Don't take my phone with me and just use a dedicated mp3 player.

Thank you for raising the query RuNananana and for all the suggestions. I would like wireless sports headphones but on the other hand am perfectly happy with my current wired ones (except when the wires stick to sweaty skin). Oh, so many options!

I've order two of the recommended ones here - for some reason someone on Amazon is selling the Back Beat Fit ones for well under the original retail - we'll see what they're like when they arrive - and the other ones are arriving much sooner (friday!!) so i'll be testing them out sooner!!

Yes, the Back Beat Fit ones looked nice and the reviews sound good. I've got them on my wish list on Amazon, just in case I stumble over a bag of money some day *lol*

RuNanananaGraduate in reply to Tomas

I don't know why this particular seller is selling them for like 1/3 of the price - I guess I'll wait and see what they're like when they arrive - I may have to dip them in Detol....

I wanted some wireless ones and went for these.

The sound is great but I'm not sure in ear headphones are for me because everytime my size 11's hit the floor whilst running I get a thud in each ear.
