Can anyone recommend some cheap but decent earphones that won't fall out of my ears while running?

Hi Saartjie. I have the same problem. Maybe I've got oddly-shaped ears?

I think I have...it's my right ear that seems to be the problem!

I wear Bluetooth headphones rather than earphones. Much more comfortable, don’t really care that they look odd outdoors.

I just think they might make my ears too hot. I glow enough as it is!

On Amazon I got the LinkWitz Bluetooth Wireless Headphone Marathon 2. They are on ear (I can’t keep in ear ones in) and were recommended by someone else here.

Good thanks. Looking at my next run this evening or tomorrow morning, depending how strong the wind is when I get back from work.

Hi Saartjie

I bought a pair of these from amazon and have had no problems with them at all.

They only cost me about £7 as I got them via their warehouse dept. If you search for items and list the department as Amazon Warehouse Deals, you can often find some discounted products as I did. (It's all the items that have been returned new and working, that they sell off cheap). I think I just put in running in the description at the time.
