Men earbuds that stay in ears?

Francl27

Hubby wants some for Christmas. The cheap ones that come with phones usually fall off his ears.

I love my Yurbuds, but the men ones don't have great reviews... Suggestions?

I hate yurbuds. I don't know why earbuds are gender related though.

I use the Yurbuds Iroman ear buds and they are just fine. Sound quality is decent, not great, but they stay in my ears and that is the most important thing to me.

Just bought my husband the Jaybird Bluebuds X for his birthday. He seems to like them--they stay put for running (very soundproof--he can't hear me speaking when he has them in). And they are Bluetooth (wireless!) to boot. They have them at Target now...

I was looking at the Jaybird bluebuds (note.....he CAN hear you )

I have the Plantronics wireless, they are OK, they stay in, but I really dont like the cord, it is quite thick and irritates me (maybe thats just me)

I was alos looking at the Beats with the over-ear clip, they look good, but expensive.

Is this for working out, for general listening. Are they for audiophile listening...

I have them... decent, but not worth the price, IMO.

^Head-fi is a great site.

Anything with silicone covers on it stay in my ears pretty well. I use those $10 Panasonics. I don't think it's a good idea to spend much money on earbuds you're using out-and-about and stuffed in your pocket. They're going to fail from cable stress where the plug goes into the headphone jack anyways, sooner or later.

The key to them staying in though, is running the cable through your shirt. Otherwise, you're bumping the cable into things and they'll pull right out.

My cheap earbuds aren't gender specific. I have a pair of the Sony Active Sport earbud. They are $19.99. I love them. http://store.sony.com/sports-headphones-zid27-MDRAS200//cat-27-catid-All-Headphones-Earbuds

I like my yurbuds. Keep in mind though that if they're for running outdoors, they need to be different. Noise blocking earbuds can be dangerous. We recently had a guy killed by a train because he was jogging up the tracks with earbuds in. A FREAKING TRAIN! So if they're for that purpose, yurbuds makes some for running outside which let's ambient noise in.

Yep, that's basically what I have. No problems, whatsoever.

I have the Bose earbuds. Yes, a bit pricey but they STAY in place and don't make my ears sore which is a huge plus.

I have used yurbuds with inexpensive earbuds. Stayed in well, but I often find that they pick up a lot of wind noise when running outside. On the other hand, if you keep a reasonable music volume level you can still hear what is going on around you.

I recently bought the Jaybirds Bluebird X. Being wireless is awesome. Range, sound, and battery life are all good. However, the included tips didn't work for me. Other than the price, the critical flaw for me was that I could never get them to stay in using the supplied tips.

I had to order a set of foam tips (Comply T-500 Isolation Tips) to get them comfortable. I know they will have to be replaced regularly and cost about $5.00 per set. That works, but it really does block a lot of outside sound. As mentioned above, have to be careful doing that.

I have the LG HBS Bluetooth Headset. I think I'm on my third pair and I've bought two additional pairs as gifts. You can use them to listen to music and/or talk on the phone.

The Jaybird ones are the best workout earbuds I've had. If you don't want to spend that much, the Ironman ones are cheaper, and they stay in pretty well.
