Best tips for running (IEM) ?

Im going to buy SoundMagic PL30 .
I mostly going to run with those phones.

I would like to know if the tips provided with the SoundMagic PL30 are good enough for running or would it be smarter to buy something like "Comply T-400 Foam" ?

thx.

Re: Best tips for running (IEM) ?

Well to give you an idea, i have Sennheiser cs300's, and at the gym...or just moving, they will fall out of my ears. the treadmill is just a non starter....However, i recently invested in a set of Comply t400's and now, they don't move until i take them out of my ears. They're a cracking product, and i would highly recommend them for the gym/physical activity. They're more comfortable than the silicon tips too. Just make sure you get the correct fitting for your earphones.

According to this review:
REVIEW: SoundMAGIC PL30 Earphones | Headphone Reviews & News Blog from HiFi Headphones
the t400 fits well.

The question is if the foam tips that comes with the pl30 are good enough or should i buy the t400 ?

thx

I'd be tempted to get the earphones and see how their stock foam tips are, if no good, get some Comply's in.
