    I just buy the shitty $5 ones from the grocery store since I burn through them every few weeks.

    I have seen these at a lot of race expos. Not sure how well they work.

    I've never had very good luck running with headphones, but I like matt, go for the cheapies. I seemed to have the best luck with this style, some $8 Sony junk:

    anything that has foam ear buds that you can squeeze and push into your ear like 'ear plugs'
    i know the shure lineup has them, and many other off the wall expensive IED headphones.

    best idea would be goto head-fi.org and look around.
    i cant wear any in the ear headphones without sitting still, or else they'll fall out or extract from the ear hole and i'll lost bass and sound.

    i think some skullcandy earphones offer the foamie swappables, check out target they usually have a good line of headphones with swappable tips.

    Foam buds irritate my ears for some reason, even have a hard time wearing ear plugs for much longer than 5-10 minutes.

    Hrm, I may have to try these out. If they're really sweat-proof $30 is totally reasonable.

    I've never been able to use earbuds while moving, they always fall out. I run / skateboard with "sport" earphones and they always work perfectly, comfortable and never bother me. Mine are Sony but look like these, were around $20:
