Hi, I have been running for over 20 years now and would never consider using ear phones while doing it. I don't believe it is a good survival concept. I personally would like to keep going for a long time and having your hearing compromised while running (ie can't hear outside sounds well) is IMO a very bad thing. Some phones are worse than others, but all diminish your awareness of what is going on around you. I have seen too many close calls to even consider it. YMMV
