Hey head-fi,
 
I'm on the search for some high quality sport headphones for a very specific sport: footbag!
 
Lots of jumping, thrashing, and head-bobbing. My seemingly anti-earbud ears aside, earbuds by themselves just don't cut it for this level of motion.
I've been using Sony MDR-J10's, but the sound quality is pretty bad, and they half hang out of your ears.
 
Anyone have suggestions on some high end sport headphones? The MDR's hook around the ear style in combination with a strand connecter (tightened all the way to the neck) is OK, but damn would it be nice to have something of higher quality.
 
Much thanks to anyone who can lend a suggestion.

I'm thinking you're going to want to go with an in-ear canal earbud combined with some type of external support, like an ear hook, neckband, flex cable, etc.
 
Anytime you're going to be doing a repetitive motion (especially a vertical one), it can be tough to find a good pair of headphones.
 
I'm thinking you may want to look at the new Motorola SF Series, like the SF 200: http://www.workoutheadphones.org/motorola-sf-200-sports-headphones-review/
 
Another option may be something like the H2O Audio Custom Trax, becasue they use a flex cable that allows you to bend the wire around your ear as you like: http://www.workoutheadphones.org/h2o-audio-trax-custom-fit-sport-headphones-review/
 
Let us know what you end up going with.
