Default Headphone recommendations
The headphones I use while running are on their last leg. I seem to sweat through headphones every 4-6 months or so and it's really annoying.

Has anyone found super durable ones? I currently have these:

I do prefer the ear bud style although they can be tricky to keep in place. I also prefer a symmetric cord but I did adapt somewhat to the asymmetric cord on the sennheisers.

My fav headphones were probably the ones that came with my 1st gen Nano but apple changed the design and the newer ones just don't stay in my ears when I'm running. My originals lasted me nearly 2 years and now I can't seem to make it 6 months without needing new headphones.

Any recommendations? I'm not overly concerned with sound quality as when I run I don't seem to notice that much of a difference between cheap ones and more expensive ones. I'm looking for durability and something that will stay in my ears when running.

TIA

Hi I don't have a rec for you however I was just researching Dr Dre's beat headphones because the sound is incredible!!!! I found some reviews saying that even though they come with different size buds they did not stay in the ears for runners and the earphones wire plastic covering would come unattached - exposing wires - especially after more physical movements like running.

I hear the sound on the Dr Dre's is amazing. Not willing to drop the loot on them for use as my running headphones as I would assume they would only last me 6 or so months and now based on what you've heard no way
