Do they stay in the ear while running fast? This ones or the CX 685??

I would say yes, but like all rubber ear fins they do wear out and now that I have had them for several years with daily use (6 days a week work out), I find them a lot looser than normal. The fin is the faulty part the adjustable ear plugs are great.

Yes, they do. The package comes with several sizes of the ear bud and the extra bit at the top to custom fit your ear.

I do. I think they're an excellent choice for running/working out for four main reasons: 1) They're extremely comfortable (especially with the Comply tips); 2) the hefty, flat cable doesn't transmit as much noise as typical IEM cables do, yet manages to not add any appreciable weight; 3) the housings are semi-open. You still won't be able to hear much while your music is playing, but with the in-line button, you can easily pause the music and hear a good portion of what's going on around you without taking them out of your ears, which leads to 4) the aforementioned in-line button and mic let you play/pause music and take calls without having to fiddle with your phone.

I had the same problem with (much, MUCH more expensive) Sennheiser CX400 earbuds - it was awful. I could hear my *hair*, who wants to listen to their hair? Unfortunately, i'm pretty sure all earbuds that have the sound isolation via making full contact between the rubbery part that sits in your ear, and your ear canal itself, are going to conduct some cord noise. No matter what, the cord must be attached in a way that is so integral to the construction that conductivity is a matter of physics. I find these significantly less objectionable than the Sennheisers, in fact I'm not bothered at all (maybe I got used to it?) But with the sound at a decent volume it's hardly noticeable. I really like these (I saw this post when I came looking to buy another pair or two in different colors). So I tried an experiment, on your behalf -- I put the earbuds in my ears, then draped the cord around the back of my neck. I then simulated moving around (hey, I wasn't about to get up off the couch :) by taking the remaining free part of the cord and whipping it around. Not bad, not bad at all. At the resulting length, you'd need to carry your music player approximately at your waist, and with that wrapping strategy it will minimize the cord hitting against things. Bottom line, at the price (plus, doesn't Amazon give you five bucks of free mp3s if you buy them? they did my last pair), go for it, they're better than Sennheisers at three or four times as much money, so ... what the heck, right?

I ended up returning these. They never could stay in my ears or on my head. Sorry I couldn't be more help. I purchased the Motorola S10 Bluetooth and those have worked great. When I run/sweat I've had no problems to date.

Not at all! I run and workout with these in everyday and love them. If you place then properly, its even difficult to pull them out (like if the cord gets caught on something). If you run at all, I suggest these. Great fit and sound. I only have 20% hearing in my left side and these are the only headphones that have good enough sound for me.

After having them for a while, they are very good for running. But the trick is to have the stabilization tab set for your ears. I always have to readjust them for the perfect fit. As a matter of fact I just got through cutting grass and sweated pretty good. No problem with them staying in my ears. If you get them once you and play with them a while you will figure out what angle to put the stabilizer in for the perfect fit. You will also know when you got a good fit because they sound awsome! They are best I have had so far. I have LG730 and they always have a tendency to fall out after sweating, so I stopped wearing them for workouts. I think these are a good buy.

i just got mine and the sound is on par with my bluebirdx , as a matter of fact im returning those and get me 140 bucks back , these are lighter and i got 7 hours continuous play and a few phone calls with them non stop , i will review them as soon as i get a few charges under my belt and really get them broke in , the bass is a bit strong so i used my eq on my phone to get more treble and they are louder than the bluebird x headset

The CX200 comes with interchangeable rubber inserts (the part that is actually inserted in the ear). I'm certain that there is one that will fit you needs.

Yes, but I didn't like the 685i's. Sweat will throw the sound off and they never quite fit my large head. I ended up buying a pair of CX-685s and I like them much better.

I bought the Sennheiser mx 75 for running two years ago: Sennheiser MX 75 Twist-To-Fit Stereo Sport Earbuds (Discontinued by Manufacturer) Good sound and they kind of screw into your ear and stay put. The only downer is that they don't fit too well in my ski helmet... so I have to use Apple ipod-type earphones for skiing. But for a good sounding sports headphone, they've worked for me.

Not really; they are more for swimming. There are a lot of designs that would be better for running; I like the over the ear design for running; I have Motorola sport Bluetooth headphones and the design is great for staying in but they don't get very loud volume which can be annoying.

I rock mine on the elliptical, rowing machine, lifting, core work...they move a little on a treadmill but that is because there is more impact with running/jogging. I can't keep ear-buds in my ears, my beats saved the day!

No. They are not even good for walking unless if you have a buttoned shirt (the cord clip is made for that)I recommend cx 685 . There isin't actually a huge sound difference.

That is the only negative about this ear bud. If I jump out of my truck it will fall out so I'm thinking it will when you run as well.
1328723
Sure. They stay firmly on my head during walking, running, or cycling, though when cycling the mic makes lots of wind noise so taking calls while riding is problematic. But music play is fine.

Agreed with the other responders - there is no problem with these staying in your ears. I run with them, I've rowed with them, etc., and have never had an issue.

These are incredibly comfortable and sound fantastic, but I don't know how well they would stay in while running. It probably depends on your ears and the tips that fit best.
