Motorola MOTOROKR S9 Bluetooth Active Headphones
Of course since you’re bringing your iPhone while jogging, you’ll probably be using its iPod app to listen to your favorite running music. While the stock iPhone headphones are a good option to listen to your iPhone while running, it wouldn’t hurt to use another headphone set made specifically for rugged and active use. I would recommend the Motorola MOTOROKR S9 Bluetooth Active Headphones. I’ve been using these headphones while doing my running chores on the treadmill or while jogging outdoors. Sound quality is great. They connect to your iPhone via Bluetooth and the fit is perfect. The headphones won’t slip while you’re jogging. (Price: $48.00)
