"Great, if you don't sweat, and you don't mind the eventual pain" on by treblig1
Pros: Good sound, lock firmly into the ear, sometimes...
Cons: Doesn't lock firmly into the ear sometimes, sweat changes everything
Summary: As a runner, I am ever-questing for the best in sports headphones. I am not an audiophile. I just want something that has a small footprint, allows for sunglass, and stays on/in the ear without constant adjusting.
This is a novel design, and certainly worth trying. I was impressed with the sound quality, and initially, I was impressed with the tight fit. However, over time, the manner in which the earphones "lock" inside the ear produced enough specific pain that I had to re-adjust them. Then, as the sweat began to pour, or the rain came down, the water quickly loosened the earphones until they had to be adjusted again.
I don't mind pain, hence running "for fun", and I don't mind occasionally readjusting my equipment, but the pain was distracting, and the constant adjustments were far too annoying for me to use this set for any outside workout.
So, the quest continues...

I too, am on that quest. It looks like this isn't the grail. Have you found a decent pair of running headphones? Preferably that work comfortably with glasses, work with the ipod sport and have an in-line volume control (although I know I can just get an adapter)
