AIBU?

to wonder how runners get their ear-phone-things to stay in?

Mine keep falling out! Or do I really have to shell out £40+ for some "sport" ear buds? Blimey, I wouldn't pay that for the phone itself...

I run with normal ones. They have little rubbery bits on the end but I think they are meant for comfort rather than anything else. They do stay in though.

I have some like nagoo's that hook round the ear. Much less faff.

I have apple ones, helpfully labelled left and right, which really made a difference as designed to work in each ear. My son runs with proper headphones, cool maybe if you're 13.

Hairband/sweatband over them as well has always done the trick for me.

OK, £10 I can live with. Am going to try the hook ones. Thanks!

Mine fall out occasionally, but they fall out when I'm walking about too so it's not something that bothers me.

I have ones that are designed for each ear, so they sit in really well. I too would never pay £40 for ear phones! I got them in Canada, but you can get them from Argos here

These have been brill for me

They were a tenner in tesco a while back!

Shock and water proof too, you can stick them in the washing machine.

Ooh, I like the sound of £3.50 even better than I do £10. MN rules!

I have those Phillips ones, but they still come out unless I use the smallest ear cover things - you need to get the right size for you earholes.

Wilkos have some three quid ones which are good if you'd got little ear holes ;-) they're in bright colours

I have those Sports Direct ones too. In fact, apart from my shoes, all my running stuff is from there

:) I got them last week, used them on Saturday and realised near the end of my run and hadn't thought about my headphones at all (I normally faff with them a lot!).

I have ones like Nagoo, that go around the ear from Poundland- can you guess how much for? Grin

I think some people (like me!) just have the sort of ears that don't hold headphones in Sad

I can't stand headphones that are the bud ones that really go in your ear - I feel like its just really gross when exercising (maybe I just have really sweaty ears Confused). The ones that hook round your ears are a godsend - quite often tricky to find decent ones tho which always confuses me as they're just brilliant!

Wow Isaac I will be stocking up at poundland!

I find the normal in ear ones fall out. Even the ones with the hook thing over the ear. The only ones that work for me are the ones on a sort of Alice band, though they're in-ear ones not the ear muff variety.

The Apple ones are terrible for staying in while running. I like them otherwise, sound quality seems good etc, but they are not great shapes.

I think the ones I bought were jvc brand.

Mine only fall out when I ignore the labels for left and right ear.
