The best by far in my opinion are the type with the thin band that go over your head like the standard ones but instead of ear phones, they have the small "wings" that fit in your ear. They sound good, still have good base response, they fit snug either over or under a hat, and you can still hear enough of your surrounding noise if the volume is not too high so you can hold a conversation with a running partner...or hear that car that is coming to moz you over. They don't have foam or rubber so they don't stink from sweat. They don't fall out like ear buds.They only cost 10 bucks at target (sony, phillips brand). Keep that volume low, though. Or you'll wind up like our Grandparents and have to ask everyone to repeat themselves.
