Subject: Know of any good ipod headphones?

I realize headphones.... are but a speck in our big world of gear... but hey.. they're important to me... the little earbuds that came with my ipod shuffle are no good for running and usually fallout when I'm doing the stationary bike in the gym etc...

anyone have any suggestions? what product works for you ?  

My main concern here is durability.... + sweat resistance I checked the online ipod store but it seems bad reviews are in abundance for almost every type they sell. 

Thanks in advance.

I have a fitness magazine that recently rated several and the Panasonic sports RP-HS22 got an A.  I haven't bought tham yet but I plan to.

I wear Shure earbuds they actually go into your ear canal and stay in your ears very well (may be my big ears though).

Got mine at Target - Panasonic, I think. They have the same over-the-ear hook dealio that Bear's have. Mine were $8 or $9, so in the same neighborhood as Bears. The hooks are the key for me - they have to bounce pretty hard to fall out!

Just looked and mine are the Phillips ones, also. Black with the over the ear hook. I sweat A LOT, especially this past weekend with the surface-of-the-sun temperatures and had no problems with them. Except when the battery on my MP3 player ran out. Forgot to charge it before my run. Oops.

oh... I have one better MinnesotaBrain.... I was changing the tunes on my shuffle yesterday and charging the battery at work... and I deleted a bunch of the songs I was sick of hearing...but got to busy to replace them...  so I goto the gym with all of 5 songs remaining on my ipod... needless to say I shelved the ipod after a short time.

I had a pair of the over-the-ear ones Bear mentioned, but I personally had a big problem with them slipping to the side off my ear. It could be that I may have mis-shapen ears (don't think that I do) but they constantly felt like they were about ready to rotate right off my head.
