cycling headphones

I need recommendations for some suitable headphones for my radio that I
listen to whilst riding. I have tried most of the normal "in ear" type like
the ones that come with an I Pod for example but the right one always falls
out. Must have lop sides ears! So I think I need a pad type that goes over
the ear rather than in the ear and with a band that goes around the back of
the neck, but I am worried about wind noise. Other facts that may affect
the reccomendations are that i wear glasses and only occasionally a h*l***t
but nearly always some sort of hat. I have never used this type so any info
would be well received.

Ahhh! You too. I've had that problem too.
The two types of earphone I;ve had luck with were a very cheap set which
were hard plastic and sort of C shaped with the bud at an angle in my
lug-'ole, the others were a Thomson branded set with a large soft pad
that goes over the ear, and a plastic loop to go over the ear-lobe. While
I've never had a problem with distraction, or not being able to hear
traffic, I'd still like to find a mono-earpeice rather like the second
type. Never had a problem with wind noise - maybe I don't go fast enough!

I use inner ear ones and the straps of my helmet help to keep them in
place, although they do fall out sometimes. If they fall out helmet
straps also catch them (put them in before putting helmet on) so they
don't dangle or catch on anything.

Two things you might want to look for with whatever sort you buy:
In line volume slider means you can lock the keys on your MP3 player
(not sure if IPods can do this) and easily turn down/up volume if
needed.
Depending on where you attach your device, you may need a fairly long
cable to allow you to twist round. The 0.5m ones aren't good enough if
you clip an MP3 player to the back of your shorts but should be ok if
you have your IPod strpped to your arm.

Sennheiser make excellent headphones and have recently launched a sport
range. I use the MX75 Sport model - they have a small extra lug above the
earphone that holds them in your ear and they are waterproof, even washable.
You can buy them for about £30 from amazon. http://www.style-your-sound.com
