Here's the best headphone for running:
Koss Sportapro
Sells for about $30.00 online.
Sound quality is like a $5000 stereo and it will never fall off your
head no matter how hard you run. As comfortable as can be. Uses the
same drivers as the acclaimed Koss Portapro (which is $20.00 more with
a slightly sturdier headband). Best place to buy is Headroom. They are
"headphone experts" and have great customer service and return policy.
Plus the Sportapro has a lifetime warranty. This is a miracle headphone. -

Is it still comfortable when you sweat ?
I would like to use it on a treadmill and bicycle trainer. Mostly indoor.
Thanks. -
I don't know if it was designed for sweat management but it works
really good. I don't notice anything when I run in hot (80+F)
temperaturers but when I'm done the ear pads are very moist. This has
not effect sound quantity or anything.
These headphone will stop function with daily use at about year 1.5 to
2. No problem. Just send them back to Koss with $6.00 and they'll send
you a brand new one.PS. The only draw back to these headphones is that they are very bassy.
It's good if you like a very warm sound but some songs get bass
covered. You get use it though and the sound clarity is incredible.yk said:

My priority is 1. comfort, 2. sound quality, 3. cost.Sony MDR-A35G works very well for me. Comfortable. Sound quality is
more than adequate. Only $17.http://tinyurl.com/cdbo9

Don't get anything other than the Sportapro. You will be plaesed and
nothing comes close. In early 2006 look out for the Grado sport
headphone. These should rival or beat the Sportapro. -

from them and they still stock the blank Beta tapes.--
