You may like Shokz. Their headsets are wireless and bone-conducting. The drivers get pressed to your temples with a flexible wire connecting them and you hear the sound conducting through your head instead of your ear canal. The only downside I've experienced with them is that they can only drown out so much noise, so if you're planning on using them in a noisy environment, probably go with another choice.

A friend of mine has a set of them at work and they work well in our noisy environment - machine shop.

The rule for earbuds is that you can only have one in so the bone conduction are gaining popularity at work.

I wish they fit in my motorcycle helmet. My earbuds fall out all the time when I take my helmet off.

I can use them everywhere. Except my whole subway ride...
