===Koss Portapro/Sportapro===
These headphones produce remarkable sound for the price and these are the headphones I wear when running. The Sportapro fit slightly better for running, but the Portapro have slightly better sound quality.

==Options to Consider==
===Apple Remote Control Earbuds===

'''Pros'''
