Every headphone purchase is a compromise of some kind or another.

If you want outstanding audio quality, don’t expect a pair of headphones that will stay in place if you are out skating or boarding.

By the same token, if you want headphones that are perfect for active sports, don’t expect high-end audio quality. Then again, if you are focused on your sport, you probably won’t notice the finer points of the audio.

These Coosh sports headphones are very much designed for active sports. They have a soft silicone loop that fits all the way around the outer ear. The silicon has a rubbery, almost sticky feel and definitely holds the earplugs in place.

Feedback from users rave about how securely the Coosh headphones stay in position. Surprisingly though, some users found them a little uncomfortable after extended use.

If you like active sports and are fed up with your earbuds dropping out or losing position, it’s worth giving these Coosh headphones a try. The price is low enough to risk the purchase.

(If you want to be able to use Coosh headphones with your iPhone or Blackberry, you can get the Coosh 780270-B Headset for a few dollars more.)

The Deal: Get your Coosh 780249-B Sports Headphones from Amazon for just $19.99.
