Earphone for Running

I can share my personal experience with you. I am a avid runner and had tried many earphones for running and was always on the lookout for the following from an "ideal" earphone (in order of priority):

1. Comfort & does not fall off easily
2. Lightweight (that leaves headphone out)
3. Good sound sealing
4. Good sound quality

I tried bluetooth earphone, earbuds from apple etc and found the Shure SE215 to be able to meet my requirement. The price range is around low $200. What I like best was the tight fit over-the-ear wearing of the earbuds which sit tightly into my ear. The sound isolation was good and the bass is strong and the sound quality is reasonable. You can change the cable if worn out and your investment is still protected because the earbuds are not attached to the cable permanently. Google it more to learn more.

thanks aiya i dont care about sound quality when running lol most important is the fit and IT STAYS IN MY ears with all the bouncing around while running! i got stubborn ears lol the cx680 like no good for me and...well gonna try backbeats 2 later . so shure is resilient to sweat ah?

Can also check out Weston Adventure Series. I use it for long trail walk. With the foam tip, i put it on at home before leaving and take it out after a half day walk. Guess it suit my ear very well. Once in place no further adjustment necessary. But better you give it a try yourself in Stereo...maybe run round 4th floor PS and see whether it slip out...

Hi Bro! You can also check out Yurbuds models as they are meant for sports or in the gym and can stand vigorous outdoor activities. They are sweat-resistant and other models have the option of mic and volume control just in case you need for hands-free talking or skipping of music tracks. I have linked here our website for your reference and do visit us to audition them.

User reviews are real.. you check out amazon ones..
those are real people using it.

Example is this one.. BlueAnt Pump
You can see people write good and bad things about it.

Anyway, from experience especially headphones, i sometimes buy from amazon headphones with very good reviews but turn out the sound is not to my liking whereas the one with mixed reviews gets a Very Good rating from me personally.

So, i guess the only way to find out is to take all the reviews and then make a judgement call .. Headphones very very subjective actually.

thanks ba.. aiya sports earphones no need audio quality imho, most important thang is NOT to fall outta my ears while sport and have proper seal without pain

Hey there!

Previously I used the stock Samsung ear-piece/ headset that was given with the purchase of my mobile phone. And I run about 3x a week, and the headphones got too sweaty and sticky and I got "yurbuds" as a birthday gift! So perfect, and there was this word "INSPIRE" on it. I've been using it till now and I love it a lot so just some cents here

[fumoffuXx]

i hear using comply for sports only breeds germs due to sweaty moisture

You consider water going in to be the best?

Try changing the tip size.
