I have the type b style headphones you posted. Perfect for me for running because they never move and I forget they're there. I don't use them outside of running though.

The Inspire has a kevlar cable and better driver. We have a pair of the Inspire Pro's too and those are great if you use them with an iPhone or iPod. It features a Dry Mic and buttons to skip/pause songs.

Additionally, if the included TwistLocks do not fit, you can send them a photo with a quarter up to your ear and they will send you the correct size.
