If you listening to music while running you no doubt have experience with a number of different earphone and player combinations. There are many strategies and products available which can be geared with the runner in mind. Determining the best earbuds for running is obviously a matter of personal preference, but listed here are two of my personal favorite systems:

For the runner, not having to deal with wires is a certain advantage for obvious reasons. There are many brands of bluetooth enabled headphones which can be favorites of runners. My two personal favorites, particularly in the affordable price of approximately $40 are the Motorola S9 and the Arriva Cordless iPod Shuffle Headphones Best Wireless Earbuds . One downside of the Motorola is they are proven never to be very water-resistant, when you run in wet weather or your earbuds tend to have soaked from perspiration; these eventually be rendered inoperable, based on multiple user experiences.

The Arriva Cordless iPod Shuffle Headphones are my own favorites because of the simplicity of the concept. Not just a wireless in the sense that there surely is a distant signal transmitted by the gamer and then received wirelessly by the earbuds. The Arriva are created to carry the gamer, in cases like this a 1GB iPod Shuffle on-board, docked conveniently in a protected port incorporated into the earbud behind-the-head bracket. The earbuds themselves are priced at around $35, but this technique also required the purchase of the Shuffle, which adds another $35 to the general cost. The Shuffle is limited in its feature set, but included in a dedicated running system, it's hard to beat.
