Earphones!

Hi,
I think I must have ridiculously small ear holes or something as iPhone earphones just won't stay in! As I gym quite a lot on my own I'd love to listen to my own music.
Anyone had a similar problem and found earphones that stay put?

    I don't know what I-phone earphones are. I'm guessing they're ear-buds. You really need ones that hook over your ear. I prefer waterproof. Keeps the sweat out of my ears and headphones.

    I call them earphones too, makes more sense than headphones really.

    I can't wear the Ipod ones either, you can get small sized earbud headphones, they come with soft squishy buds that squish right in the ear hole and they come in various sizes. Use the smallest on and they should cram in there - they are small enough for kids.

    I buy the Ink'd Skullcandy earbuds and put the smaller piece on them. Now they stay in my ears where as no other earbuds I have used before did!

    I have the same trouble, I bought a bunch of foam covers and that helped a lot. Of course now I have those weird shaped buds that came with my iPhone 5 and they are just plain annoying but sound great when I can get them to stay in...

    Due to a few of my ear piercings I can't use a lot of the earbud types.

    I have these

    And they stay in place really well

    Apple ear phones really hurt my ears, too. I really like JVC's ear phones that have the soft memory foam-like plugs that you just stick in your ears. When you buy them, they give you different sizes to choose from - plus they come in a variety of pretty colors. They are a tad bit on the pricey side, though - about $20 on average, but I really like the feel and sound quality of them. I do a lot of running and I have never had them pop out of my ears. :)

    I just replaced my ipod earbuds with regular ones from walmart, cost like $5 lol. They also came with 3 extra pairs of earbud covers in different sizes. I think theyre by Phillips.

    I actually use Sony Sport headphones which wraparound so they stay in as I workout. They were about $20 at Staples.

    I use yurbuds, because my old earbuds kept falling out when I was running. The new ones are great and have never fallen out. I also have several piercings in the inside cartilage of my ear and they don't get in the way. I don't like the kind that hang over your ear.

    I use these all the time too. They're called JVC Marshmallow and are $15 at walmart!

    Get yurbuds! They just made a newer/smaller version especially for women and they really stay put.

    i don't buy this brand, but I buy the sony ones that have hte same thing - they're pretty common among many brands. they come with 3 sizes of soft silicone buds and you change them out tofit your ear best. they're awesome, and relatively cheap.
