good headphones for running/jogging below $50?

Title says it all. I want something that stays on well so I don't have to adjust it. I'm thinking this rules out any buds/IEMs or circumaurals. I was thinking px-100 and ksc-75. Any opinions on how those compare in sound quality and fit?

PS: What's the difference between the px100 and the px100-II?

I have the old version of PX100 and use them for running/jogging. Works very good for me, and I prefer them to Porta Pro's in terms of SQ.

Koss KSC35 available from Koss here for $45.

I prefer them to the newer and derivative KSC75 in sound, although I do like the 75's ear clips better. If you want you can swap the clips between the two models.

The original PX100 did not sound as good to me. Plus, my pair was not sturdy enough for exercise wear.

For safety, avoid IEMs that attenuate ambient sound - runners need to hear the street.

which rx would you recommend?

and would everyone agree that the px100-II are better than the px-100? they seem to be significantly more expensive (~$60 vs. ~$35) so wondering if it's worth it.

and would you guys say the ksc-xx stay on the ear well enough for running?

I used the KSC75 for jogging before I switched to IEMs. They stay on fine. There's also the behind-the-head SportaPro (same drivers as the PortaPro/KSC35) and PMX100 (same drivers as PX100).

Back when I had my RX700s, I used to jog with them all the time!

Then I discovered the portable head-fi forum.

Actually, the PK3s are fine. I play basketball, sprint, whatever with them. No issues except the dang cable is a bit short for 6' 3".

I wouldn't suggest anything else than earbuds w/ twist to fit (MX) for the serious runner.
The Sennheiser twist to fit series is really nice. I jog when it rains sometimes and they are water resistant. The adidas line is also good looking

I run and work out in all my IEMs. I would hate to run in a clip on or anything without any isolation.
