the boy Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Can anyone recommend good headphones for jogging. Clip behind ear type would be best I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismuzz Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Bog standard in ear ones are fine for me. If you're worried about them falling out, there's yet another use for duct tape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzbass2000 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) I found that with all the other noise that goes on when you're running, expensive headphones can be overkill. These are inexpensive, reasonable quality, and easily replaceable if they fall apart through wear and tear.

They're also pretty easy to drive.

51m0n Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Anyone recommend some that aren't inner ear jobbies? My wifes ear canals are tiny, so she needs some that dont go in the ear canal since they wont even get close to fitting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gapiro Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Triggering my pet peeve here. I ABSOLUTELY HATE joggers with headphones/earplugs in. The sheer amount of spatial awareness you lose really frustrates me. It is dangerous, and downright stupid. The only time it is acceptable is on private land or on a treadmill. Applies to cyclists too. And if you want to think about it from a jogging perspective , you are unable to hear your feet striking, or your breathing, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of near misses I've had, and collisions i've seen are stupid. Lets say I want to cycle on the cycle path to work , and you can't hear me behind you , ringing my bell, etc, thats just stupid. Lets say you are cycling with head phones on, and someone hoots, or you can't hear the car coming behind you, or you cant hear the other cyclist coming behind you who is ringing his bell, or shouting, its just there is so much to hear with your ears, I dont see why you would ever want to remove yourself from hearing it. And it is dangerous. Taking risks that affect other people more than yourself is just not worth it in my opinion.

BassTractor Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 IME, wearing a headband or Buff Headwear like thingy is all that's needed to keep the in-ear earphones inside. If not, a flake of soft foam will help tremendously. I've also had a headband with built-in, watertight earphones, but can't remember the brand name. Not very Hi-Fi, but worked very well. best, bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
