Hey guys I just got an ipon nano for valentines day, and my ears are crazy so the bud earphones won't work. I bought other bud earphones with interchangeable ear plugs to see if I could get that to work, but it didn't. Any recommendations for running/working out headphones?
Thanks!
David

I use these kind (http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR-W08L-Vertical-In-The-Ear-Headphones/dp/B00005N6KG/sr=1-244/qid=1171585908/ref=sr_1_244/104-2946859-9307152?ie=UTF8&s=electronics) because they tend to stay in well and don't make my ears a gazillion degree's when I'm doing cardio.

Get the ones that wrap around your ear... That's what I use so they don't fall out when I am running...

How do they sound? Better that the ones they come with?

My favorite are Sennheiser PX-100s and find them to be great. I've never heard more bass in a pair of open-airs before. It's marvelously disorienting.
I think just as good as the PX-100s are the Koss PortaPros. What's more, they're cheaper. Some of the cleanest highs I've heard in open-airs.
I use a pair of waterproof Sony in-ears like Ivan Dan posted when I'm surfsailing. Weird as they look, they sound much better than the tiny elements that rest flat against your ear. I find them uncomfortable for long periods of use but for 30~45 minute workouts, they're great.

Oh gosh... I hate to admit it, but I actually got them at Target-- CHEAP.:D They work wonderfully and I've had them for several years. I couldn't find anything as comfortable and willing to stay in my ear while running, hiking, ect. They are like this--->

I have a pair of Shure (http://www.shure.com/PersonalAudio/Products/Earphones/ESeries/us_pa_E3c_content). They are expensive (I think I paid $175), but if you use the foam sleeves they fit like a glove and you don't have to turn up the volume and blow out your ears. Sound quality is awesome. Sony has a pair that are similar and less expensive.
