Hi Alliwalli , check out the running channel on youtube , they have a good video review of the current running audio gear. I'm using samsung buds and they are great but not waterproof . Under Armour buds come with a years subscription to Map my run and are water proof - cost a bit though . I'm interested in the AfterShokz Xtrainerz which are bone conducting and waterproof - I might spend the money im saving by not smoking on a pair . Good luck :-)

I got some Anker ones on amazon, great service from the company too. Great for down the gym where the music is loud and comes from a compilation album entitled Now! That's NOT What I call Music. I have Aftershoks Titanium for road use so you can remain aware of your surroundings.

Hi Jonno , how do you find the AfterShoks ? - I cannot hear much with the Buds in and the drivers here are not safe , Cheers .

Am fine with the aftershoks. By definition they are not the best sound quality but unless you are some sort of purist they are fine. I feel a lot more secure when on the road because you can get a bit lost in the music and at least these keep you aware. I got them after running down a street not realising there was a car waiting to pass.
