Best sport headphones for running & cycling?

Thanks Richard for the suggestion.... i use it just on 1 ear.
I'm not joking.
More important is that the one on the ear does'nt move or fall or else
Must not be an (insulating it is correct?) one

That argument is pretty bogus. It assumes that one can hear traffic
approaching from behind(which is difficult when you factor in wind noise),
and that one could react quickly enough to avoid an accident. Anyone cycling
on the roads should be using a rear view mirror, anyway. Plus, don't
motorcyclists pretty much cut off their aural inputs, once wind noise,
helmet, and engine noise comes in to play? The only argument against
headphones/earbuds that makes sense that wearing them while cycling is
illegal.

No, even in a car with the windows rolled up sound is an important
enough factor that earbuds would make me crazy. About the only people who
aren't going to hear what's going on around them are the folks in a car with
the music blasting loud enough that you can hear them coming a block away.

If they are illegal wouldn't there be a reason for that?

Yes - foolish and/or misguided legislators, who themselves are not
cyclists. The same who have imposed compulsory helmet laws in some
countries...and whose attempts to do so have been rejected in others.
