Hi, I'm looking to find earbuds with the piece that goes around the ear. Conventional ones never stay in my ears even with walking. I've been using Yurbuds, which I like, but that part, or the part that fits in the ear, keep falling off. I don't see anywhere to replace just the parts I've lost, so I"ve had to buy several new ones. While I do like them, at $30 each, it adds up.

So, I'd love suggestions on what's out there with the parts that go around the ear and will not fall apart. If they're solidly built, I'd go higher in the price if need be. I do some running so I'd like things to stay in place. Thanks :bigsmile:

    I always have a hard time with earbuds staying in. I recently got a pair of Bose and they are working really well.

    My Shure earbuds are very nice.

    Powerbeats (Beats by Dre). The have the ear clip and the sound is great. Before I had these, I had a pair of Bose earbuds and I'd wear a headband over my ears to keep them in. Loved them and they lasted for 5 years. Decided to try the Powerbeats because they were on sale and $50 cheaper than Bose.

    I like the Jaybird wireless earbuds, but they're pricey and it can be a hassle if you use them a lot and forget to charge them.

    Right now I've been trying out these MEElectronics earbuds. They're cheaper and the part that goes around your ear can be bent any way for a custom fit and stays in place. My only complaint so far is that the sound quality isn't that great.

    I always use basic skullcandy headphones. Well priced, and they cancel noise well. I go through headphones more than the average person, so it helps to have something that's not too expensive. Plus they come with different size buds, so you can choose the most comfortable ones.

    I have a pair of the ironman earphones. They are orange and very comfortable. They have adjustable pieces for your ear canal. They are very reasonably priced and work great. I am the same way with earbuds slipping out when I run.

    Wow, thank you all for the suggestions. I haven't heard of a lot of those brands but will definitely be checking them all out.

    Much appreciation :flowerforyou: :drinker:

    I am a runner and I use SnuggBuds. I have a hard time with earbuds fitting and being comfortable in my ears, as well as staying in place as I run and sweat. I have not had any trouble with these and have been using them for about four years. They stay snug in my ears and are quite comfortable. I tried many different brands (several of the ones already listed above) with no positive results until I found SnuggBuds, so I would highly recommend them. Good luck!!

    Yurbuds has pretty decent customer service, if yours keep breaking you should try contacting them instead of buying new ones. And Yurbuds make ones that go around the ear as well as in the ear. For the money, I think they're the best. I LOVE Bose but they are just too pricey for my budget =D
