What I'd like to know is how people can keep those earphones (ear buds) in their ears without them falling out. For me, it's an impossible task. I've tried placing them in position gently, and ramming the f****ers in as hard as possible, but nothing works.
Glue? Ear wax? What's your secret? I'd like some that stayed in for a while and if I could get some that stayed in on the treadmill, well that would be great!
All suggestions welcomed.
I have the same question as far as the few I have tried. Same technique.
Too long in Exile, too long not singing my song.
Too long like a rolling stone, Too long in exile
Too long in Exile, baby you just arent my friend.
Too long in Exile my friend, Baby you can never go home again.
Same here they just don't stay in. I've picked up a pair that has like a piece of string around each ear plug that wraps around the back of the ears. They're a lot better, but still sometimes fall out
So I'm not alone! But how is it that some people seem to keep them in like magic? I mean, some of my students share a pair of earphones and happily walk along side-by-side without the things popping out. Do Thai people have extra small and tight lug 'oles or something?
Maybe I can try some dental floss. Keep my ears nice and clean, too.Originally Posted by process

I had similar problems with the buds while running. So a few years ago I bought some similar to these at Target and have been using them ever since with absolutely no problems. I even take them on planes and use them instead of those crappy things they give you.
Here is a picture of some similar ones to mine:

Why do you spend money on a health club membership only to isolate yourself from those beautiful thai girls around you? Please accept that your ear buds fall out as a matter of divine intervention, a sign that it's time to converse and socialize and not block out the world. If God had intended ear buds to stay in your ears while on a treadmill, they'd stay in.
Who said I paid for health club membership? I just wanted to ignore my colleagues in the office.
Actually, I go to a very small gym and I'm usually the only one there.
In my case left ear can't keep the earphones in while on treadmill, while they snap right in on my right ear and stay that way. It's really annoying having to adjust the left side all the time. Must be some genetic thing....
A few days ago I recommended a Thai girl to pick a guy at California Fitnees, it was joke, and her reply was exactly what I expected - those are places for gays to oogle eachother, not for straights looking at girls.
One of my pair of headphones has a clip to prevent the wire from pulling on earpieces everytime I move, and the right plug has a longer wire to loop behind the neck. This setup helps a lot but it's still not perfect.
please post photos of deformities, so we can give you an accurate assessment, thank you.
Sometimes my mind wanders, sometimes it leaves completely

I own a pair of Grado SR60s. I look a bit silly, but I don't care, becoz da moozik sound so good.
Here's a pic of me wearing them while listening to an audiobook of The Da Vinci Code, narrated by David Hasselhoff:

Hmmm .. how old are you? I've noticed that peoples ears get bigger with age. They also get hairier. My theory is that your body is compensating for deafness that naturally occurs with old age. The bigger the ear .. the more surface area there is to "collect" the sound waves. The extra hair also helps to collect sound waves and channel them into your noggin.
Suggestion 1: Tightly wrap some latex from a condom around the edges of the earpiece and super glue into place.
Suggestion 2: Get your ears pierced and run the wire through the holes. This will take some of the weight off the wires and make it less likely for the earpieces fall out.
Suggestion 3: Go to one of Thailands fine cosmetic breast reducing surgeries and haggle for a reduced price for your ears.
Suggestion 4: Trade the "Walkman/ IPOD/ Whatever" in for a "Ghetto Blaster" and perch it on your shoulder.
Hope this helps.

^ Good ideas. I particularly like suggestion #1 but I'm not going to waste a new condom on that, so I'll wait until the weekend when I have a used one available. I'll keep you posted as to how well it works.
Thanks!
If size gets bigger as age increases, why....
