Question for those who run listening to music. Which style suit you the best...in ear buds? the ones with a plastic hook that wraps over the ear? or proper old school headphones (maybe best option in freezing weather ?
I have used in ear buds , but when I get hot and sweaty, they tend to slip out (although i threw away the other size rubber buds that came with them new...maybe a bigger size would be better fit). Need a new pair and am wondering if the hook over style would be better?
I use the in-ear buds but then I often have my ears covered - either by a hat in the winter or a headband when it's warmer (to keep my hair out of my face).
I'm wishing they would invent tiny little ear buds that sit in the ear with no wires.

Agreed, why on earth wear headphones whilst running in the countryside? Baffles me, I don't run on roads so that doesn't apply.
I use a seinheiser/adidas thing that wraps around the back of my head. I find the insert ones always seem to fall out eventually. A remote comtrol is handy too to skip the occasional song that just isnt doing it for you.
In reply to Bjartur í Sumarhús: I like my philips/nike headband earphones (over the head type) had them two years now and they're great. Don't move or fall out and are comfortable I think.
I wear galsses so over the ear/hang-on's don't work for me.
Music is a great motivator for me when running around the town. Better than listening to cars revving around and kids shouting insults at me!
