I have a problem w/ ear buds staying in- too large when I'm excercising. Any suggestions/ recommendation for brands?

    cheap, comfortable, and stay in until I take them out. I bought 3 pair because I was so afraid they'd stop making them :) They sort of clip to your earlobe like clip on earrings... except much more comfy. And they do not interfere with wearing sunglasses.

    I use JVC Marshmallow earbuds. I swear by them. You squish them down with your finger, put it in your ear, and then they conform to your ear and stay there. I use them for running, jumping jacks, etc. and they don't move. They're about $15.

    I bought a set at walmart which had 3 sizes of buds... less than $5.00 and sound is darn good.

    Red package- can't remember brand off hand. (jvc maybe?)

    If you want high-end, Bowers & Wilkins earbuds (freaking awesome - but $180). The design is perfect for exercising and sound quality is the best I've heard after testing many. I've had them for about a year; I'm an audiophile, so they were worth the investment to me.

    If you want economy, I would agree with JVC Marshmallow earbuds ($15).

    Yurbuds are awesome! (yurbuds.com)

    I got the red ones with the kevlar-coated cord. They never tangle and they never fall out!

    I really like the Skull Candy ones that you squeeze then put in your ears. I have the same problem and these are perfect!

    My ears are small and ear buds are ALWAYS falling out. Being a musician and trained audio engineer, I'm very picky about sound, much to my wife's chagrin. I have a pair of ThinkSound.com ear buds and am completely satisfied with them. They are a bit on the pricier side but well worth it.

    Same here, I have very small ears and most buds either fall out immediately or they hurt really badly after only a couple minutes. Yurbuds are the only one's ive found that are comfortable and they stay in, they've fallen out 2 times because my hand got caught in the cord and yanked them out. hahahaha.

    I love Skull Candy's Full Metal Jacket ear buds. The only thing is that if you are wearing them outside, you should only use one side as they block out pretty much all outside noise.

    I just bought a new pair two weeks ago and I am in love. Phillips makes sport ear buds with a clip that goes over the ear. The ear bud has three different sizes and the clip over the ear is plastic with a rubber adjuster. They were $25 at walmart and I have never owned a pair of headphones that I could actually move around with and keep on. I will be going back and buying a couple more just in case they stop making them.

    Get yourself a pair of Westone UM1s. Westone had been in the business of making products to fit the human ear for over 50 years. They also were a pioneer in the Music industry making custom in-ear monitors for musicians.

    The earpieces are comfy and stay in place. I've used mine running, in the gym, doing yard work and they are especially great for traveling.

    I must admit, my opinion is a bit biased, I work for Westone. I built their website.

    Bose IE2. Not cheap but they sound great and you don't have to take them out to talk to someone.
    Multiple sizes and two styles. One that has extra support to keep it in the ear without stuffing it into the ear.
