I'm looking for some good quality sport headphones to use with my 3G shuffle since the standard ones that come with it short out and stop working whenever I sweat.


I guess I'll have to buy an adaptor too.

Any reccomendations?

    I like the dub audio ones. They're like ten bucks at target.

    I have these. They're loud as hell and just $20 and they don't fall out of my ears when I run B. They are called the Sony Active Series.

    these are the ones I was talking about. I think amazon sells them too.

    EDA: Skullcandy is the brand

    I use the same ones just different color scheme.

    I always had problems with the Iphone ones but with these even when running sprints they don't fall out.

    I have some purple ones too. I hated the ones that came with the ipod. no problems at all with these and they sound really good for some $10 headphones, right?

    Man I can't get those sort of things to stay in my ears for ? even lifting weights. I'd be like hell ya I'm about to lift this ? "starts lifting" right side falls off" WTF...Besides I bike a lot in the spring/summer and mine stay in place never a problem.

    @ Dee yo you stay on Amazon huh? Go to the store yo what you have flashbacks of getting sent to the Bodega for everything back in the day or something. There 19.99 at RadioShack

    My ipod ones stayed falling out, use to ? me off. The sound quality is good. I only use them for working out.

    J-Gutta, I lift weights with these ones, i don't have a problem with them but before I got these ones, they stayed falling out.

    Skullcandy makes really good headphones for a affordable price, check out their site, might find something you like.

    I opted for these in the end. Best value shipping inside the UK.

    Water resistent, good reviews etc.

    Had to get one of these too.

    My only other headphones are bose over-ears. Not really suitable for gym. Gym without music is WOAT. My local gym plays garbage music too.
