Looking for decent IEMs for jogging. Doesn't have to be stellar or anything, but something that balances price and performance and is appropriate for jogging.

Can't use my IE8s for jogging!

Try any of the JayBird headphones which are made for athletic activities:

Also, use the search. This question has been asked numerous times.

CX300's are nice.

Anything that is worn over the ear. Ai-m6, pl50, pl30, etc. All give good bang for the buck and are comfortable. Plus, most budget over the ear IEMs are relatively shallow insertion - so you get reduced microphonics and the ability to hear traffic to keep you alive. (always a plus in my book

)

the cx300 is freaking microphonic..
even with normal walking, it goes BOOM BOOM BOOM, cant even hear my music..

Meelec M6's get my vote. Memory wire keeps them firmly planted in my ears during all my running (indoors and outdoors), and they sound really good for their price point.

nremondelli, I am also a runner and must say that over the ear with a slide is the only way to go. I have owned many IEMs and my two favorites for running are the JVC HA-FX300B, and the Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10 . Obviously the UEs sound better, but they are also $200 compared to $55. There are many other choices, but I highly suggest making sure that the IEM you choose is an over-the-ear AND has a slide.

Soundmagic PL50, JVC FX300, image S4, M6 and Eterna............

The CX300 are extremely microphonic and easily the worst I've had in that area. I would not recommend them as they also fall out of your ear pretty easily and pretty prone to wind noise.

I'm also using Ai-M6 for working out/jogging. It's fairly cheap, solid sound quality, doesn't have bad microphonics, and it has a strong cable with a shirt clip and ear hooks. My only suggestion is for anyone going this route, don't get the clear, because the copper wire will turn green from the sweat...

Anything Shure is great for working out. Those olives really hold!

 

[ljokerl]

CX300 are an awful idea. +1 for the Meelec M6 though. PL30/PL50 work well too.

 

[jussssss]

I use IE6's for running, mainly because of their low isolation. I used to run with um3X but decided against that, didnt want to sweat them out!

You might also want to consider portables like the KSC75. Good sound for cheap so they're easy to replace.

I've seen a couple people say that but I wonder if anyone who recommends them is actually a runner/jogger. I can't imagine running with those on my head.
