In-ear earphones that last?

[NotQuiteCockney]

I run with my ipod. Why do I keep wearing out headphones? I don't think I want another style of headphone, I like the in-ear ones, but they always seem to fail on one side.

My last pair were Sony ones, and they've been fine, but I'm suddenly only getting music in one ear. Again.

Any recommendations?

Dd has the same problem. The genuine ipod ones seem to last no longer than cheapo £5 ones so she gets them now. She normally has one pair on the go and another one in reserve

i have some sony ones that go in my ear but hook round the back of the ear IYKWIM, they dont go round the head just over the ear.

I can run in them as use them for the gym, have had them for years and they are the best pair ive ever had, as you say they wear out quite quick

ps they're not too pricey either think they were about a tenner

Yeah, the ipod ones were crap.

Ok, I've thought about those over-ear ones, I thought they wouldn't stay on for running, but if yours do, maybe they're the fix. Will look for those.
