icons would be a solid choice. cheap and get the job done.
skullcandy also has a baller warranty program, if (when) your headphones break...
if you like them, buy a second pair in case you have to send the others back.

skullcandy chops work very well for sport activities. More on the earbud side though..

I don't think you are gonna have much luck honestly with your criteria. you want A.) something for running/biking but B.) not earbuds but headphones. AND on top of all that you want C.) good sound quality? Frankly I don't think those exist together.

my suggestion, get some cheap buds for running/biking because really, how closely are you listening to the music while doing physical activity? Then I would get a quality set of home headphones.

understandable. Ill just use my iphone stock headphones for running but what could you recommend for skiing/biking aka less movement.
