Comfortable ear buds

So I've had 3 pairs of earbuds ever, for when I exercise. The white ones that came with my ipod always fall out when I'm exercising, these black ones I have hurt my ears after awhile, and these new ones I thought I'd try out, also fall out of my ears. Those particular ones are the kind that wrap around the ear.

I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for workout earwear that is comfortable for long periods of time and stay in when exercising.

If it helps I have rather small ears, which is perhaps why the wrap around earbuds didn't work. But I think I would prefer to have the kind that wrap around the ears because those in general seem like they'd be the most stable.

    I have small ears too and have no patience for earbuds falling out. Everyone will recommend Yurbuds, because supposedly they are the best. I have no doubt Yurbuds are great, but they are too pricey for me. I have had good luck with ones I got for $15.95 on Amazon - "MEElectronics M6-PK-MEE Sport Noise-Isolating In-Ear Headphones with Memory Wire" They are wrap around, and really stay on for me, and they have pretty good reviews on Amazon, and they come with a bunch of different ear-tips so you can customize the fit.

    You could always try some cheap headphones instead of earbuds to see how well they stay on. Something like this:

    I have piercings that interfere with my ability to wear earbuds, but I found that the ones that go into your ears more work best, like the link above.

    Sony around-the-ear headphones work for me. I've had the same pair for 2 years now and haven't fallen off once. However they are not water/sweat-proof. Can pick them up at Target for $20
