Anyone recommend a decent pair of iPhone headphones?

Hi all,

Can't do my runs without listening to some music but getting a little fed up with the voice control on my iPhone cutting in because the phones have got a little to wet with sweat.

Can anyone recommend a decent pair of 'sport' phones that don't cost the earth?

Thanks.

I bought some iLuv sports headphones for my iphone. They clip comfortably over your ear and solve the problem I had of them falling out. Reasonable price too. When I was starting these distractions drove me crazy! Running happily now. Hope you find some soon!

I bought some JVC over the ear ones (described as 'women sports headphones' on Amazon, although not sure why they are gender specific as I got the white ones). The ones that came with my iPhone dropped out with the slightest movement. These wedge in nicely and I haven't had any problems with them. They're currently £8.70 on Amazon although I think they were more than that when I bought them.

I've got the same ones - no complaints at all!

I just picked up a cheapy pair from Tescos with my weekly shop. Technica I think or whatever their budget brand is. I didn’t want to spend much as I wasn’t sure I’d get on with them but wanted to try the over ear clip-y thing. They’ve been spot on, no problems at all and all for about £7.

I got mine from Argos.... clip nicely around the ear and don't fall out. Had them quite a while now and seem to be doing okay, weren't too expensive either

Many thanks for all your replies. Wasn't a problem with my headphones falling out whilst running (I use the in ear type not the one which come with the iPhone) but that after some time they just stop working due to the moisture even though my current ones are 'sport sweat resistant' phones.

I think as long as they have a remote, I'll just buy one of the cheaper brands mentioned above.

Anyway, tomorrow is my graduation run so will go back to listen to the podcast for one last time!
