Could you please confirm for me just how secure they are on your head? I think I have a medium-large size head and I really need some that wont budge. Thanks in advance Hello,

When Bose finally put a clip on their in ear headphones it solved all the falling out issues...they also send three sizes of earbuds which helps, since all ears are not created equally, in fact mine are two different sizes! Alas, the Bose do not let me crank the sound up as loud as I would like! I have used them all to varying degrees of success.

Both are silicone earbuds that make them almost entirely water resistant. They both sound great, the Shures are a little cooler looking and sound a little better, but they're also $100 more. The UEs are more comfortable with the stock buds. I’ve got the Shure 530s and the Ultimate Ears triple.fi. Both are silicone earbuds that make them almost entirely water resistant.

I've never found earphones that fit well in my ears, which made running with them even more impossible. I look forward to trying the headphones you suggested =D Thank you so much for the tip!

These are very small and they come with silicone tips in three sizes. I was never able to keep the standard earphones in while running, but these have stayed in place for me for 20+ miles. The package says nothing about water resistance but I have accidentally tossed them in with my laundry twice and they still work. Sooo, my new wish list is: headphones with a really short cord. I like to wear my shuffle clipped to the back (I think this also helps the earpiece stay in place) of my hat and only need enough cord to reach my ears.

I must see if I can get those here. I've actually been using masking tape to tape my earbuds in place for running after going through 3 increasingly rubbish sets of 'sportsbuds' from various manufacturers. Dweeb factor is through the roof with the tape so I had to put a hat on over that as well. I was coming to the conclusion that I must have really odd ears that all these running earplugs keep popping out after about 2 minutes! Woohoo! I must see if I can get those here.

Might not look so cool, but I run mine under my chin, pull the rubber holder snug, then use electrical tape to keep the holder in place. The tension seems to keep the plugs firmly in my ears, which was a problem for me after a mile or two. I've had to replace the tape after about 25 runs, but it's been worth it for the comfort. I will try the behind-the-head approach though - sounds interesting. Just another idea for routing earbud cables.

Everyone having trouble with earbuds owes it to themselves to try it. Regarding DAVID’s suggestion above:
