She dropped the hint by saying her current ones keep falling out. They need to fit well, sound decent, and have track control on the cord. What you got?

Amazon's got a few Bluetooth headphones that are well rated. Might be better than corded ear buds.

not good for running, IMO.

OP, let me look, I've got a real good set.

I'd find a bluetooth that goes over the ear and loops behind the head... earbuds fall out easily when you start sweating.

something like this

Yurbuds are what I wear. Lots of different styles. Even the corded ones, win the cord is kept under the shirt, are great for running. It's really all about the design of the bud itself.

no track control is a dealbreaker

I'm not opposed to something in the bose price-range, but I'm gonna need some ringing endorsements from you guys.

Check out monoprice dot com too. They have wholesale pricing and Mens Health gave one of their ear buds a top rating.

Those are retarded awesome.

The ONLY thing I would worry about running with those as opposed to just working out is getting hit by a car b/c you can't hear shite else.

I have the Jaybird BluebudsX. They're awesome. Wireless buds and don't fall out.

I just bought some $30 Sennheiser earbuds from Amazon just to try because I love Sennheiser headphones so much, but they turned out to be terrible. So avoid those.

Buy her custom earplugs- Schedule an appointment with an audiologist & they will take her impressions and let her pick out colors. She'll be impressed
