LR Brossssssssssss -- need some help here -- I hate running on a treadmill and my ears are to small for iphone ear buds. I need some suggestions for headphones and any general advice for running on a treadmill more than 3 miles. I live in the northeast and am getting prepped for winter.
Do I got with in ear or big beats style over hear head phones?
Treadmill help!
3 miles on a treadmill? You need headphones indoors? A Pill or portable Bluetooth speaker won't work? I think the members at Runners World have the same problems ;)
No I need to run more than 3 miles but I get so bored - I hate it. In the spring/summer/fall I average about 45 to 55 miles a week but in the winter I fall off to about 10 miles a week because I'm so unmotivated to go out in the cold/dark nights. I want to run at my gym on the treadmill.Yeah headphones indoor at my gym - they wouldn't appreciate me showing up with my Big Jam Box.

No one runs on a treadmill or uses headphones?
I bought some really cheap bluetooth headphones off Amazon and they work great for me.
I run with them on my treadmill and sync them up to my ipad.
All the directions are in Chinese but they literally cost like $15-$20 and have worked great for the last 3 years.
I run on a treadmill with headphones a couple of times a week. It absolutely SUCKS A55 compared with running outside. Well, with the exception of certain workouts, e.g. set and forget progression runs, and long incline runs that would be impossible in the real world.
But anyway...
I use Monster iSport buds. They come with a variety of tips. Unless you have ridiculously small ears I'm sure you can find one that works.
At least for me, my stride can be significantly bouncier on the treadmill -- especially at easier paces -- which makes the cord bounce around a lot. So wireless may be a better option. I am not there yet.
Plantronics Backbeat Fit. They rest gently in your ear and I have never had them fall off.
I like the Jaybird X2 bluetooth headphones. They sound good, they are light, and they are sweatproof. They are more expensive than some others but if, like me, you kill regular headphones with sweat, they are cheaper than replacing other headphones all the time. They come with different sized rubber earpieces so one would probably fit you. There are also similar headphones from Jabra but I haven't tried them.
I can't see running with big headphones. That sounds too heavy and uncomfortable.
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
