I was THIS close to buying a pair of Westone UM2s, but I just ordered these since I've needed a throw-around pair to go running. $20.

I guess pressing the quote button would have been less effort in my previous post too.

And yes, so far they've been pretty good at staying in the ear. The only thing I can say is that I'm still playing around with the different tips (there are 3 pairs of regular tips, 2 pairs of triple flanges, and a single pair of bi-flange tips. I've been working through them). Today the smaller triple flange pair felt like they were coming a little loose but not enough that they would fall out of my ears any time. Just not as tight as I would like sitting in front of my computer.

I've also used them for general listening the past few days. Nice sound.

6.  And "These" is ambiguous

Hey Jen, my wife wants to know how stiff those headphones are?  Like the piece that wraps around your ear.

Not so stiff that I'd ever think they would break, but strong enough to hold a shape. I would probably prefer it if they were a little less giving, but then it'd take longer to fit.

Just picked up a pair of Logitech /Ultimate Ears 600vi.  Stay in nice.  Over the ear.  Light and have nice soft inserts for small ear canals.  Controls work perfectly with the iPod and the sound is tight and clean though not heavy in the bass.

Good purchase so far.
