Microphonics - Finally, most in-ear-canal headphones suffer—to varying degrees—from microphonics , a phenomenon where, because the headphones seal so tightly against your ear canals, bumps and scrapes to the headphone cables are transferred up the cables directly to your ears.
Personally, for the gym, I'd say get some crappy wrap around ear headphones. The better ear buds seal tightly in your ear canal and sound like shit when they start to pull out. I dont like having to keep pushing them back in.
