Good headphones for workout/jogging?
 

I tried this thread in the Music forum, but I got zero replies. Hopefully this is a more "active" bunch here in Other...

I don't care for the headphones that I got with my Nike MP3 player. They look like this:

The piece that goes behind the neck is in the way if I'm laying on a workout bench, or doing crunches on the floor. Also, they just aren't particularly comfortable.

I was looking at headphones like these:

I wasn't sure how well the over-the-ear style stay on while jogging, working out, etc. Anyone have experience with any of these, or other recommendations?

That's an over-the-top-of-the-head set, not an around-the-back one.

Here's one that would go around the back

I think you should try wearing your headphones the right way and see how that works out.

Sorry, those weren't the exact ones I have. I didn't look at the picture closely enough. Here's the right photo of my current headphones.

they are great for working out in.
$10 at blockbuster if you have credit there.
the only downside is that on a treadmill, sometimes static builds up when i'm running and i get zapped in my ear. i have to constantly touch something metal to ground myself. bizarre.

Yeah, I have sony ones similar to those and love them. Don't have to worry about them falling off, and no foam to soak up sweat.

I have used this pair of Philips for a long time and find them much more comfortable than those Sonys

The slides make the size of the loop more comfortable, and the entire clip section is rubber. You can find them pretty much everywhere for around $10.
