chaoskitty 0 #3 October 21, 2008 Heheh.. Spence doesn't have that problem. He doesn't have an ipod. I've been looking around for something like that too, and these might be on my christmas list.. http://www.wi-gear.com/products/imuffs/mb210.php Most of the wireless earphones are fully equipped with bluetooth and stuff. I'm not really interested in all that. Cause I really don't want to spend $200+ on earphones for running. If you find some other cool stuff, let me know!

TrophyHusband 0 #5 October 21, 2008 try attaching your ipod to the side or back of your wasteband (make sure your drawstring is tied tight) and run the wires behind your back. i hate the wires slapping me in the face as well. some earbuds won't stay in like this though. if i can find a link to what i use ($12) i'll post it.

TrophyHusband 0 #6 October 21, 2008 ok, they were $12 last time i bought a pair on base and they are $15 on the koss websight. they are like earplugs, so they block out a lot of external noise. great if you're on a treadmill, maybe dangerous if you're running in an urban environment. the only time they've become uncomfortable is on a long flight. http://www.koss.com/koss/kossweb.nsf/p?OpenForm&pc^eb^PLUG "Your scrotum is quite nice" - Skymama www.kjandmegan.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
punkd 0 #7 October 21, 2008 I run with the wires behind my head then down my shirt to where my ipod attaches on my waistband. I can't get ear buds to stay in worth crap while running so I use the headphones with the strap that sits on the back of my head. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Opie 0 #10 October 21, 2008 Silly girl Make yourself a nice drink, kick back in the recliner and set the ipod down beside you. No slappy in the facey with cord Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BGill 0 #11 October 21, 2008 pretty sure there aren't wireless headphones for what you're looking for (although i'd love to get some with how much i run these days). i've found the best option is just finding a way to stow the excess cord so it doesnt flop around as much. if you're using an armband to hold your ipod, try stuffing some of the cord into the armband. if you're using a belt-clip, try running the cord through your shirt. depending on if i'm using my water bottle waist-pack, my camelbak, my handheld water bottle, etc, i have different ways of stowing my ipod and excess cord. get creative and you'll probably find something that works for you. and oh yeah: OH-HI-HO!

Pokerstar 0 #15 October 22, 2008 Quoteis there a such thing as wireless ear buds or sports headphones? i hate getting slapped in the face with the wire from my ipod! There are a few options, the 1st is a set of Sure 110 headphones, (earbuds). They go in your ear and loop up over your ear and have a sliding clip to hold the cord in place. They aren't the least expensive, but sound great too. Option 2 is Duct Tape. :)Fortunately, I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug, uh, regimen to keep my mind, you know, uh, limber. --- The Dude --- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC07 0 #16 October 22, 2008 The itunes headphones have the adjuster thingy. Run the headphone wires back behind your ears and adjust the thingy so that's tight around your head. Then run the wire underneath your shirt, so that it doesn't swing and get obnoxious. I wish I could run. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 3 #17 October 22, 2008 Check out Etymotic.com They make wireless, but they're not cheap. But they do sound incredible and are a standard in the production industry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
