When i did triathlons/park runs I used these badboys (but i remember them being orange)

Just had a look and the bluetooth sports earphones kick in at £160, so are slightly more than what you've paid for in the past but are well worth it IMO.

Failing that, I'd recommend Sennheiser.

and yes I am a barbarian when it comes to sound quality, hey I grew up in the days of double sided cassettes ok? If the sound wasnt that great, you just took out the cassette, wound it up tighter and cleaned the head of the player with some spit and polish

You can pick an entry pair up for 200 chips and they have the lock in moulded ear piece and certified by the IM association which you can clean and wash , they're built for endurance exercise so will stand the test of time .

You'll get them in Go Sports / Virgin

as for the sweating thing, there were some issues, with some people prior to September this year, they have been redesigned and I have not had any issues. I suspect it was just super sweaty people, normal peeps won't have a problem.

Edit: I use them while running.
