Earphone recommendations?

For those of you that run, what earphones do you use?  The ones that came with my iphone just don't feel like they are going to stay in when I run.

I strongly recommend using a single ear bud when running or ridding.  They have been problems in the past where someone on a bike comes up on a runner and the runner has no idea in the world they are behind them. This is a problem for both the runner, that’s the one getting run over and the riders, that’s the one that can’t pass because “HE WANT GET OUT OF THE “beep” way. 
A single bud works great while running on the streets too. I not into the getting run over thing, I get enough of that with no ear buds. 
Seriously with a single I can still enjoy the music, remain safe and be courteous to others around me.

The single earbud recommendation is valid.

But with the ones I recommended, you can hear what is going on behind you.  And have a conversation with people (while tunes are playing).

Thanks for the info, I ordered the Motorola.   
I agree with your view on runners (and bikers) not hearing a bike coming up behind them.  Its annoying.  I only listen to tunes when I run at the local park on the nice wide nature path.
