All right.

This would be an enormous drawback for the use I plan to give them.

I like the Sporta Pro, but I feel they are too big, heavy, and maybe with
too much bass. Also, when running they fall easily.
That's why I'm trying to find something lighter, smaller, and which do not
fall when running.
