Jogging: Which 3.5mm Earphones ? (Not The In-Ear things)

[Spacescreamer]

Hi..

My jogging sessions are relatively bland with no decent solution to my earphone requirements.

Looking forward to purchase a 3.5mm earphones, not the in ear thingies which render the ear canal all booming afterwards.. looking for the more old fashioned earphones like these.

Device for music playback: Nokia N79

Budget: 1k (flexible)

Spec: 3.5mm in size.

Important:-

Must have Decent bass

Must enable to change the songs

look for over the ear type.

Straight-in earbuds will fell while jogging.

I would like to suggest Meelectronics M6 but that is in-ear canal type.

also look for this type(Philips,Panasonic available in market)

Thanks rohit.

I been using the stock nokia earphones before and they been fine while jogging. Never fell or anything.

Now a different model of phone with shorter wire length prevents the earphones be used while jogging.

plus no more the option to change the music file/change the music levels exists. Sorely miss both.

Updated the information in the main post.

err.. settle for ..?

Its not even an hour since the thread creation and no suggestion meeting my criteria been forwarded..

Waiting for elite force of TE to send me some decent suggestion.

Hopefully with some personal experience behind it and price quotes as well.

consider headphones with fm antenna. definitely won't come off loose like earphones do while jogging.

will surely catch glimpses.

I wonder why not the In-Canal variety, but if you want only the hang-by-your-curve earphones then take a look at Creative EP-50.

I've been using these for more than a year: MDR-110LP : Lightweight Headphones : Headphones : Sony India

Lightweight and not too expensive (Rs 350/-).

For normal listening it's ep630... but they were a pain when it came to jogging.

i wud suggest these : eBay India: Original Apple iPod Headphones Earbuds Earphones MA662 (item 190530621475 end time 06-Jun-2011 08:18:07 IST)

decent enough bass and do not fall off while jogging

Spacescreamer, did you find a worthwhile solution to this. Me in the same boat, looking for an IEM to use while jogging.

 

[esanthosh]

While SQ may not be great, here's an option for jogging - SENNHEISER PMX680 NECKBAND SPORT HEADPHONE-BILL + 2YR | eBay

 

[eternoMind]

Whoa... thats just way too expensive !!!

I was open to using IEMs as well, just thought to follow this thread in case of some alternatives that are more suited to jogging.
