earbuds while running or: who designed these POS's

yurbuds.  6 months and they haven;t fallen out once and that includes marathon training.

I don't the volume control model but they do make a version with volume control and a mic.

I bought some yurbuds covers that I put over my existing buds. They worked really well for a few months. Then they started to fall out occasionally or when I would try and remove them, the bud would come out but the cover would stay in my ear. About six months later on a flight home, I opened my MP3 player case and  I noticed that one of the covers was gone. I have no idea where or when it got lost. I contacted the yurbuds folks about it, because they say "guaranteed not to fall out", but the warranty is only 90 days. If you buy the actual yurbuds buds instead of the covers, you might be fine. I live in an arid climate, which might have caused them to lose their "stickyness". Anyhow, I was disenchanted with the company and decided to do a little googling for competitive products and found these:

They have worked well for me so far (5 months). I have seen both Philips and the yurbuds at Target. The Philips cord is kind of long, but it has a clip so it's not too bad.

I would skip the buds and find something that wraps around your neck.  I have a pair of Philips ActionFit headphones and I think they rock.  Sennheiser also makes a few. 

That's precisely why I use a super  light weight headset,  I love my Sony MDR-AS35W 's, unfortunately the dog got them last week and they have been replaced by newer model that I don't like as well. I have tried ton's of earbud just never managed to find one that worked for me  and that sounds great, must have a wierd ear shape.

but I got lucky and found a surplus store in town that had a bunch of new stock at 14.99 a pair so I bought 3 more pairs so now I have some for a rainy day when I originally bought them they were $49 each so $15 bucks was a bargin in my book. I had been using the pair the dog chewed for 3+ years with no problems at all.

YurBuds.  I found some IM ones at target on clearance for $8 ($40 at Best Buy).  I have gone over my bars on my mountain bike and they never budged. 

I can't either. I bought the kind that wrap around your ear. they work pretty well. There are a lot of different types of these.

The Sennheiser ones are also very sweat resistant. Every other earphone I've tried gets shorted out in no time.
