I have a confession. I'm jealous of a few people... sure from the picture you might think it's Jeff Kerkove. Yeah, I'll admit Jeff has got a few things going for him... a sweet rig, pimping killer product, he's a highly respected rider and blogger, not to mention just an all around great person... wow, ok, I have to say it bluntly and straight forward, I do not have any sort of man crush on Jeff Kerkove.Now that I've made that clear. The reason I posted a picture of Jeff was simply the fact that almost daily his blog reminds me of the fact that I cannot use ear-bud headphones. And that is what this post is about, my jealousy of anyone who can wear headphones while riding. Yes, of course I could argue the safety issues with doing so but we'll save that for another day. Tonight, I need advice. Any headphones I've tried simply fall out at any movement... I've tried two different Apple earbuds, the Stereo Headset and the old version of the in-ears. I've also tried the JVC Gumy Stereo; all with no luck, all leading to the same response.
Sure I'd love to jump into and get some thing like the Bose or some other high end in-ear with great sound but then end up never being able to use them. Thoughts? Insights? I also want to avoid any sort of rap around version also, so keep that in mind. What do you ride with?

Cheap gummies from wal-mart. I tend to go thru some..
funny you should post this, b/c i've been in a hunt for good exercise headphones for a while now. i've tried a ton and end up taken them back to stores. the wrap around ones always hurt etc. i'm hoping i found some that work this time for exercise - that's what they were designed for - after reading a ton of reviews ... http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2275387&CatId=42
p.s. i'm getting them for christmas so i'll let you know how they are! (sorry for the long comment!) :)
Like i've said before, try the cheap Skullcandy headphones, they seem to work for me.
I have seen stocking caps with speakers built into them. Would work pretty good for cold days if it will fit under your helmet.
Also, there is those Oakley shades with the speakers in them.
Good luck buddy!
I've had good luck with some cheapo Phillips in ear wrap arounds from Walmart. Model number is SHS3200. With high speed or lots of wind, they leave a little to be desired, but for what they are they work well for me both on the bike and running. For under $20 you can't beat 'em and they don't pop off.
