Most individuals tend to work out or play sports while listening to music and sports headphones are specifically designed for this. Sports or jogging headphones are designed to withstand the rigors of a high energy workout and be reliable and comfortable. They should stay in place despite your constant movement and should deliver acceptable sound quality. A good pair of sport headphones is an important part of working out, particularly if you like to run or are playing a sport with a lot of movement. The headphones that come with your iPod or mp3 player do not provide the best fit and they can move when you are exercising. They also may not be sweat resistance and the sound quality is not high. If you are going to the gym you will need a pair of sports headphones. Nike Aero Sport headphones are sports headphones that are very easy to clean, sweat proof and will stay put no matter what sport or activity you are doing. The only concern is that the sound quality is not the best and for very long usage they can become a bit uncomfortable. The cord is placed to stay out of the way no matter what you are doing and these are a decent but inexpensive pair of headphones. For runners, the Sennheiser MX85 sport headphones may be the answer to cord wrangling and ear buds that won't fall out. Designed for the jogger/runner in mind, these particular headphones are adjustable to fit different size ears. People with smaller ears might find these more comfortable. The Sony MDR-AS50G is a great affordable pair of sports headphones. They have good sound quality and have excellent fit. While these sports headphones may be the best fit of any available they can look a little funny as they do stick out of the head and can't be concealed by your hair. The fit is so good that you do not even need the over the loop band to keep the ear buds in place. They are very comfortable for extended wear. A decent sport headphones is the Jaybird JB-100 blue tooth stereo headphones. These Bluetooth headphones rarely ever drop out. They have over the ear mounts and are an in ear, ear bud design. Unfortunately these headphones can be pricey and they don't have the best volume control. The bass response is also limited and the fit can be difficult depending on the person. These headphones can be adapted to be used for iPod and other mp3 players. A well designed sport headphones is available from Arriva. The cord wraps around the head and stays out of the way while the ear buds stay in place. The ear buds are quite comfortable and the sound quality is good but if you want superior sound quality then you should try some of their higher models as the sound quality is just okay in the lower price ranges.
