Ask Engadget: best earbuds for fitness use?

We know you've got questions, and if you're brave enough to ask the world for answers, then here's the outlet to do so. This week's Ask Engadget inquiry is from Brandon, who needs some earbuds that won't leave his head when he's on the treadmill. If you're looking to ask one of your own, drop us a line at ask [at] engadget [dawt] com.

"I've been having issues at the gym with my headphones coming out of my ears. As of now, I'm using a basic pair of Sony sport headphones, but is there a pair of moderately priced ear-buds that do the trick of actually staying in your ear while running?"

Last time we asked, you were divided between those who prized robustness (and a low price) and audiophiles who couldn't bear to listen to inferior gear.
If you're in the former camp:

• Philips SHH8006/28 over-ears
• JVC Marshmallows

If you're in the latter camp:

• Sennhesier's range of Adidas-branded sports-headsets got a few mentions
• But overwhelmingly, people went gaga for Klipsch's S4s.

Still, that was then and this is now, so let's turn the question over to you once more to see if we can smash our heads together and get some knowledge to fall out.
