I'm looking to purchase a durable and secure set of headphones to wear when I go running or workout at the gym. I should say that generally, I have a really tough time actually getting any earbuds to stay put in my (apparently oddly-shaped) ear canals, not to mention when I start sweating. The best luck I've ever had is with a pair of $100 Shures. Unfortunately, they really weren't conducive to working out, as they'd slip out when I got too sweaty, and eventually one of the buds would go deaf from water or perhaps motion damage. I've gone through two pairs of Shures now, and I thought I'd ask for some help before I commit more dough to a less than satisfying product. For the last month or so, I was using a pair of cheap sony's, and they didn't last long at all. I read in another thread the Ironman Yurbuds are an all-around good choice. However, there seem to be quite a few disgruntled reviews on Amazon, and I'm hesitant to flush more money down the drain if there's a better choice out there. More than anything I'd value a pair of IEMs that will not fall out when I run or start to sweat, and are also durable enough to make them last awhile. I'm willing to pay more for a quality product, but at this point I'm not sure there's a pair out there up to the challenge.
