The Best Running Headphones

If you are like me the headphones that come with the Apple I-pod are not designed to stay in your ears laying down, much less running. I've gone through and have experimented with many a pair of headphones only to find one particular design flaw at least when it came to running. These flaws include: 1) pods do not stay in ears, 2) cord is too long, 3) cord is too heavy, 4) cord transmits vibrations to ear piece causing unwanted noise, 5) sound quality is poor. Well I have finally discovered the perfect headphones. They are the Senheiser PMX70 headphones.
These headphones are perfect in every way. The "buds" are connected to a lightweight, sturdy neckband that keeps the buds comfortably in place. The cord is just the right length as well as light. The sound quality is excellent with deep base. Since the buds do not insert all the way into the ear you can hear outside as well but not enough so that it over powers the music. I highly recommend these headphones if you are a runner.
