Thanks: I have encountered this slipping problem with my earbuds that came with my Ipod nano. I have tried several different brands and I will be purchasing the set you have recommended.

Recently I bought Philips SHE 9501. These are in-ear open type earphones, which solves the problem of devastating your inner ear.
The sound is extremely good and well-balanced (for those of you who care of sound quality). And they are also quite cheap.
Three sizes of gum caps allows you to fit it into your ears – for me, middle size works best.
And for having fun in running I also use nike+ set: transmitter and armband, which allows me to easily control both my run and my equipment.

I am also looking for headphones that i can use while I am working out. The problem is that I have small ears. Do these headphones work well with small ears?

I run regularly with iPod earphones, but I find that the greatest enemy of enjoying good audio while running isn’t the earphones slipping out, but rather the infuriatingly loud whooshing sound that you hear when running into the wind. It’s caused by wind rushing over your ears, so earphones probably aren’t the right tool to solve this. Unless they’re obscenely efficient at noise-cancelling or something.

Do these bounce up and down when you run?
Does the neck band move when you run?
Do they fit snugly (clamp) on your head?
What holds them in place besides gravity?
Do the ear pieces flex to different angles?
Are they adjustable in any way?

I don’t think they make you run faster, but people are so captivated by the color, they don’t notice how slowly you are running. ;-)

These headphones are amazing. They sound better than my Shure’s and are almost unnoticable when running ( once you’ve worn them a few times). Only downside is the bright green color, but hey the color makes you run faster right?

I have these… My ears chafe after more than 30 minutes. I have a rotation of headphones (the Seinhausers do have the best sound) including some cheap sony’s that are not made for running but work ok as they clip over the ear, that i use each time i run to try and ease the pain…

I’ve got a pair of Sennheisers which are not ear-buds for those who, like me, don’t like speakers stuck directly in their ears. The PMX 60s fit nicely over my ears (with glasses) similar to the ones you’re pointing out and work fine for running. They get in the way somewhat when doing bench presses and the foam gets sweaty.

What about a sock cap? Would these be able to accommodate a sock cap pulled over them? I’m not a runner by any stretch of the imagination, but I really want to be. I prefer to run outside, and in my location that would mean cooler temperatures in this coming season. I’d want something over my head while running…but I suppose at that point I could resort to the traditional earbud, because the cap might help hold the buds in.
