Looking for sport headphones with media controls, suggestions?

Hello there, so I recently broke my old pair of headphones and now that I have started doing more sports I am looking for a pair of headphones that would fit my needs which has to have something alike to clips to hold them behind the ear. I prefer in-ear models, however I would NOT like to have the band that goes behind the head as those tend to get in way in the gym.

So what is required? Clip that goes behind your ear, decent sound quality and on-cable controls for volume, next song and whatnot.

Koss KSC75 and invest in a Pebble watch. 

 

I honestly don't know of any non-iems with media controls.

I'd actually prefer in-ear headphones as they tend to take less space and I am quite used to them, sorry if my post was confusing I made it at a quite awkward time.

Anyway IEM is fine, actually preferable.

They look somewhat like what I am looking for, however how do those hold up during workouts or running as in do I have to worry about them falling off or so?

Psh, I dunno. It sounds good tho.

 

If you wear it over the ear it'll stay in better (goes for all IEMs tho).

Linus reviewed a pair of pretty "sweat" (pun intended) in-ears that are for sports.

Feel free to kill me for that pun.

 

Gross, dude. sweat and sweet are definitely not homophones.
