Anyone got any experience with [url= http://www.bose.co.uk/GB/en/home-and-personal-audio/headphones-and-headsets/audio-and-mobile-headphones/bose-mie2i-mobile-headset/ ]these[/url]. Normal in ear headphones always fall out and i'm not keen on the over the ear jobbies as I wear glasses.

Similar look to the Monster Isports.
Handy on the bike being waterproof too.

They shouldn't if you have the correct eartips on them. I wear Shure SE215's with triple-flange tips, and I can promise you, they will [b]not[/b] fall out.
Mee Electronics do sets of triple-flange eartips that fit other brands: http://www.meelec.com/product_p/tipset3-tf35m-mrg-cl.htm
and their M6/M6P Sport phones are brilliant, and available for $29.95 instead of $49.95 at the moment.

Fantastic value for money, and they sound amazing once burned in. Can't praise them highly enough for sound and comfort, and they're very low profile, so they don't catch if you wear a beany over your ears. Designed so the cables loop over your ears like pro monitors as well, so if the cable gets caught they don't get yanked out of your ears.

Wife has a set and likes them, especially for running as they are quite secure and don't block out all outside noise.
Not for me though as they only go partially into the ear - don't block out enough sound for my liking.

I've got a set of the older ones that I've retrofitted those tips on to. They are very steady in my ears with no sign of movement, but as has been said before they don't block out a lot of sound.

Not to worried about blocking out sound as I want them for running that I do off road and most of the noise is me coughing up a lung. They just need to stay put. Count zero liked the looks of them but unfortunately need to be ishuffle compatible.

I've got a set and bloody love them. Comes with a little clip too, so keeps the them from swinging around.

Kuco, if you get the Shure SE215's, there's an alternative cable available with a remote, and the Mee M6P Sports are iPhone compatible, they have a remote/mic that works with the Shuffle, Touch, iPhone...
Oh, and the Classic as well.
I bought two pairs when they had a Holiday Special Offer; $29.95, BOGOF. Worked out about £11 a pair. The noise reduction with triple-flange eartips, on either the Shures or M6P's is -26dB, which is industry standard for any in-ear noise protection.
I regularly run a folding machine, which produces 86dB in an enclosed space, and I use my Shures or M6P's as hearing protection, and listening to music is fine, as you don't need the volume up very high

Here you go, I've just taken a photo of my M6P 'phones with the remote to prove it!
