Week 7 run 3 - earphone problem

Managed to complete Week 7 this morning, no drama with the run but the right earphone developed a problem - was like listening to Norman Collier on lead vocals for last 10 minutes! I suspect they've become rather damp so will need to buy another headset. Any recommendations for not too expensive earphones, for runners with sweaty ears?

Amazon have a set called Marathon 2. These work well for me - I can’t keep in-ear ones in ear and these “clamp” on fairly well. Usually on offer around £22.

Thank you. I'll check those out.

I like the ear bud ones that fit inside your ear and some come with different size rubber fittings so they stay in nicely when you run

Thanks. My broken ones don't have rubber fittings and keep slipping out. I'll check out the rubber ones.

I use my iPhone ones, kept in placed by a folded down Buff around my ears. Holds em in just fine

Good suggestion - I've got several Buff's (they're so adaptable, can be used in all weather: sun and snow!)

They fold down neatly, if you’re careful 😃, and firm a tight enough band to keep the buds in ✅

I just bought these as my others kept falling out of one ear. These seem to be fine so far and hook over your ears. Sweat proof too!
