    Go to Best Buy- get the Sony sport ones, that make a complete C around the back of your ear and connect- so it's more like a D- they are about 19 dollars. I'm on my 3rd pair, because they are the ONLY ones that stay in, and usually my boys take them and lose them, that's why I've gotten 3 pairs. these do NOT fall out! The ear piece that goes in is a flat half a sphere- like you cut a marble in half. Those are the best :-) Hope you find them and they work for you!

    The ones I posted about below do not fall out with or without a band- but I do put a band over in the winter when I run :-)

    I'm with everyone on the Skullcandy buds.

    BUT the wires break/lose connection inside after 2-3 months. I have to replacement mine constantly. I don't deliberately tug and wrap them, but general wear and tear does them in rapidly.

    This, however, isn't unique to Skullcandy. The $40 Phllips I used to use broke every 6 months. Skullcandies are only $10 though. So I think I made a good financial decision.

    If you have the Apple earbuds, you can purchase over the ear hooks made to fit them. They are called BudFits and are available at www.budfits.com. I use them and LOVE them!!!!

    I've tried a lot of them and they all fall out of my ears too. I went back to my old ear phones, the old fashion kind, they are Sony and they are very light.

    I've never been able to wear ear buds either. My ears are way too small no matter what kind I try. I love my JVC over the ear headphones. They aren't too big to look ridiculous, they are pretty darned good at blocking sounds and super cheap at $20

    Skullcandy. Awesome. I love mine and my husband wears his when he runs outdoors, he's a marathon runner.

    I wear skull candy that wrap around the ear when I don't have a hat on - much better than others I've tried. Just the buds too when I have on a hat-they have different sizes to hold in your ear.

    Hi. I had the same problem. Went to Walmart and got the "over-the-ear" type of headphones. Have had the same pair for 4 years now! They work great, never fall off, and are not uncomfortable to wear. No name brand either. Just the generic type. Go check out Walmart or Target. Good luck!

    I had the SAME problem!! I would run and once I starting getting sweaty or going fast, they would fall out and basically ruin my run cause I'd be CONSTANTLY fixing them. Before I used the standard iPod headphones, and now I use skullcandy, which has little rubber ear pieces on the end so that they fit into your ears and STAY THERE! I've gone on 10+ mile runs with them and NEVER had any issues now :)

    PS your comparison picture is INSANELY AWESOME!! YOU LOOK INCREDIBLE!!! :)

    I can't use the Apple ones that come with an Ipod. They don't stay in at all. I was going to buy the Skull Candy ones, but was having trouble justifying the cost when the ones I have aren't that old. But, if they stay in.. I can justify it.

    Thanks for the compliment! :)

    Target has skullcandy headphones for $9.99, if you can find them on sale they are only $7.99

    And here I thought *I* was the only one with this problem! Always feel better knowing other people are having the same issues. :)

    I have the ones that have a loop that goes around the back of your ear. I have small ears too and these do run a little big but I can always position them so they stay in place.

    Same here. The ones that come with my iPod don't work for me at all when I'm moving. Shoot, sometimes they fall out just when I'm sitting at my desk. I think I have the same Sony pair another poster mentioned. They were under $24 and they're great.

    I have Skullcandy earbuds. They work great!
    These are the ones I use and they don't fall out. If I run (which is almost never) sometimes I have to just re adjust from time to time, but they don't fall out.
