Good headphones for vigorous workouts, that won't fall out?

I've found the earbuds the Shuffle came with to be a little small as it is, and while at the gym on an elliptical or whatnot, they tend to need to be frequently pressed back in or they fall out.
Any recommendation on something that might fit better/be less prone to falling out? Looking at the ratings on headphones in the Apple store, all of them seem to vary widely from "they're great" to "they break five minutes after you put them on."
I suggested to Consumer Reports that they rate headphones, and got a thank you from them for the suggestion, but supposing they do an article on it, it wouldn't be for some time. Perhaps there are other magazines that have done ratings?
Thanks,

The in-ear type fits more snugly and so doesn't fall out as easily. Due to the snug fit, it blocks outside sound better and sounds MUCH better than the terrible headphones the iPod comes with.
These are the ones I use. Apple sells some too.
However, they might still fall out with vigorous exercise. They work pretty well on my walks though.

Need Recommendation for Ear Piece that Won't Fall Out When Running

I've got a nano with the Nike sensor and jog nearly every day. It drives me crazy that the ear pieces that came with the nano fall out several times during my run. Can someone recommend a good set that will not fall out and sounds good? Not to sound like an a@@, but price is no object. In other words, what are the best possible ear phones that I can buy to jog with?

Well, if you can find a pair of in the ear canal earphones that fit you well (I had to try a couple of different brands), they might work for you. I like etymotic research er-6is. I find that when I take the trouble to seat them properly, they stay in no matter what. The only irritating thing about them is I can hear the cord moving.
I've also used a cheap pair of Koss earphones that have a plastic piece on each one that goes around the ear. The sound was adequate. However, when I'm running on the street, I don't mind the less than stellar quality and I can hear what's around me. I think Sony makes a well regarded set of earphones that with similar over the ear pieces. I don't remember the model number.

TS1363 What can I do for an Ipod that won't update, won't allow you to eject it, and can't reset either?

What can I do for an Ipod that won't update, won't allow you to eject it, and can't reset either? I can simply unplug it from my pc and after a while it runs down and works fine after a charge. Wanting to clear data and sell but nothing seems to work. The ipod was originally set up on a different computer and with a different I tunes account as well. Would that make any difference?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

Here's a fix for uploaded files that won't play.

Is this you? You've found a lot of files were uploaded, instead of matched. Some of those files might even be on albums where other tracks matched. Sure you want them ALL to match, but meantime, it would be nice if uploaded files would actually play! Sure, you can see their names, track durations, etc. but if you try to play them directly, nothing happens and if you try to play an album through, when it gets to an uploaded track, it stalls or skips past it. You've checked the file type and it's an AAC so you figure it can't be a file encoding incompatibility problem and besides, whatever the file type, Apple is red-flagging anything incompatible, tells you it's ineligible, right?
Guess Again - not all AAC files are produced with the same encoder and some of them, while they'll get past Apple's eligibile/ineligible screening process, probably shouldn't.
I routinely record vinyl using Audacity and at various times I've used different encoders (not that I knew it until now). As a result of checking which uploaded files play and which do not, I'm pretty confident of the following. While some AAC files created outside of iTunes might work, those encoded using Lavf52.36.0 will not. Neither will files encoded using Lavf52.64.2. There may be others.
So what's the fix? The same one recommended for getting files flagged by Apple as ineligible to pass muster. You need to make an AAC copy in iTunes and swap that for the uploaded files that won't play.
Here are the steps I use to get it done. You may be able to streamline the process though.
(1) Turn off wi-fi to prevent iTunes Match from attempting to match any new files until you're good and ready. If you don't to this, you may end up with files you've just created being flagged as duplicates.
(2) Select all files in an album that has some bad uploaded files. Select Advanced > Create AAC Version. (NOTE: I don't bother trying to separate uploaded from matched, just too much hassle.)
(3) Select one of the files, so you can File > Reveal In Finder. Generally this will get you to the album folder that includes both sets of tracks. The ones you just created will have a "1" in the file name.
(4) Create a folder on the desktop and move all the newly created files to it. Delete the "1" from the file names. Name the folder based on album title.
(5) In iTunes, delete the listings for the newly created files.
(6) Turn on wi-fi and wait for iCloud to reconnect. Watch the cloud icon - it'll tell you.
(7) Delete the album from iTunes (You're now getting rid of the copy that was originally uploaded, so be sure you've really got the new AAC files handy to replace them with). Note you will see an option to delete from iCloud too. Check it. You want these files GONE!
(8) Select Store > Update iTunes Match. If you do a search for the album from an iCloud enabled iOS device (I use Apple TV) after the update is completed, you shouldn't be able to find the album.
(9) Select File > Add To Library and go get the folder of tunes you created.
(10) Run Update iTunes Match again.
(11) Watch the iTunes progress bar. Once the matching process has checked to see if you've added anything to your library, you'll see fresh copies of your songs uploading.
(12) As another means of confirmation, once several of the songs have uploaded, do an iOS device search for the album. You should be able to get the album to appear before the upload is complete. You may have to back out of the search and back in to get it to work, but chances are when you first see the album, the song titles will all be grayed out. Once the update is complete, give it a minute and everything should become available to you.
(13) Pick a track that wouldn't play before and watch to see if the timer starts to move, followed by music! It is now time to do a little happy dance.
I know this is a far cry from figuring out what it takes to get songs that should match to actually do so, but that's a whole different ball of wax.

Thanks this was useful. I have been ripping my audiobooks and I was finding that they would get uploaded to iCloud in the process, which in itself was fine, but then iTunes would not let me change the media type to Audiobook, which is annoying as it effects how iTunes treats the media. Like showing you the skip back 10 seconds button.
The general outline here helped me work around the issue and change the media type before the media was re-uploaded to iCloud.

Can anyone recommend some good headphones for iPhone?

I know because of the recessed headphone jack not all headphones will work. Just for music playing, what's a good pair for around $100-$150? Thanks for any help!

I recently bought a pair of Sleek Audio SA1 headphones for $80 and like them extremely well. They sound far better (to me anyway) than my much more expensive Shure buds. Sleek has other models and they also have a wireless option that I haven't gotten yet, but intend to.

Good Headphones for Zen To

Hi everybody! As I already noticed, most of the people who have Zen Touch do not satisfy it's original headphones. Well, me neither. So could anybody suggest me some kind of good headphones that You are using now with your Zen Touch. Please indicate the brand & the model.

I kinda feel like I wasted my money on the etymotic er6i. Its just sounds a bit pants on the zen touch. I tried flat EQ, all the presets and every custom EQ combination possible yet it just sounds like ?30 pair of semi-decent 2.0 desktop speakers, with bass sounding like a wet fart and treble thats sounds as if its being choked. It probably sounds more accurate, but that don't mean a thing if the music doesn't sound good to my ears. Yet as soon as I plug them into my PC its a completely different picture, with plenty of rich, deep accurate bass and crystal clear treble. I thought it was incorrect fitting, but that can't be the case otherwise I wouldn't be getting so much bass and isolation when using my PC.
To me the EX7s sound so much better, theyre more like a good ?50 2. subwoofer system, not too accurate but very powerful and fun to listen too. I feel cheated, as I specifically got the er6is because it said it had enhanced bass response and was designed for portable mp3 players. I listen to a wide variety of music, ranging from The Cranberries to The Chemical Brothers, yet none of them sound good with my zen touch + er6i combination.
I wonder how your rio karma + er4p setup sounds SSR? From what i've heard the karma has one of the best built-in amps and custom EQs out of all the HD players. However much I like my zen touch, i'd still replace it with a karma if I had the chance.

When I try to go to the app store, I have a popup for a free game that won't go away. I can't get into the app store.

This happened to me twice lately. I finally got around it by double tapping the home key to go back to the homepage finding the app store that was running and flicked it up to get rid of it.
When I went back to the App Store the Popup was gone.

Need Good Headphones For The Gym...Thoughts?

I have some cheap Nike Headphones for running, but these are the behind the head ones which will break if I'm doing any kind of weights where my head is back against a bench.
I have been using the headphones which came with the iPod, but they keep falling out. This is very annoying.
So...if anyone has had success with headphones (not behind the neck/head) which stay in your ears and are good for the gym, please let me know.
Many thanks in advance!!

Sport case for iPhone 4 that won't strip screen protector

I have a Zagg screen protector on my iPhone 4 and have tried it with a few different sport cases (the kind that yuou strap to your arm while you jog) but the one's I've used have a soft, clear plastic front. What I've found is that after an hour of excercise (with heat, mosisture, etc.) the case will almost always peel off the screen protector. Does anyone know of a sport case that is built differently that won't do that?
Thanks in advance.

The real question is, protects the screen from what...? I've carried iPhones in my pocket since the first model and have never notices scratches. If you just don't want the glass touching at tabletop or other surface, then something as simple as the Bumpers that Apple sells will do the trick just fine. If you're really worried about scratches, you can apply a screen protector to the front (and back) to ensure nothing actually touches it. If you're worried about breakage... well, it's glass... anything you put between the glass and the outside world that can actually make a difference will make it impossible to use. If it falls face down on a stone, it will probably crack.

Any good visualizers for the iPad that work with iTunes?

I have long wanted to hear my iTunes library through my home cinema system and watch the iTunes visualizer at the same time. Current Macs support mirroring on a TV via Apple TV, but mine are too old. I thought I could get around this with an iPad, but iTunes on the iPad does not feature a visualizer, so I'm looking at third party apps.
I'm not too impressed with the App store search facilities though - it doens't seem to find a lot of things I've been told are on there. The Apple store I visited advised me to go this route, but Gravilocity and Light Beams - two I've been told about - don't show up in the searches.
What I need is a good visualizer that I can run as well as iTunes (not as part of it) so that I can mirror this via Apple TV. I am working on the assumption that an iPad can play iTunes content, and allow you to open another software item on top of it? Sorry if that sounds dumb, but I've never used one.
I'm sure there's probably something out there, but thus far I haven't found it.
At present, what do you see on Apple TV when you play anything from iTunes? I understand front row has gone.
If anyone can give me a few pointers to solve this puzzle, I would be most grateful.
Many thanks in advance.

Wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it. Apple has a distinct preference for everything going through iTunes.
You can look into word processor programs like Documents to Go, which have wifi syncing outside of iTunes, or other online services like Dropbox or others that allow you to upload and download documents, syncing them without going through iTunes.
