Small headphones

I must be some kind of mutant-deviant or something, as every time i put on (in the ear) headphones, they fall out! I don't think my ears were very well designed as everybody else seems to get on OK with them.
Does anyone know where I can purchase some extra small in-ear headphones? They don't have to be exceptional quality (I'll be using them whilst running), but they must stay in!!!!!
:D

Oh, I'm really not intrested in the ones that hook over your ears either.

    must say that i am exactly the same,i do not know how they stay in other peoples ears,and when people pass me and they are jogging with them in it always makes me smile,mine will stay in if im lay on the bed and i do not move my head a fraction of an inch LOL
    glad to know it isn't just me

    Have you tried putting them in by putting the bottom in first then pushing the top in and twisting them?

    If I just push them in they fall out with with my 'tilt, push and twist' manouver (sp) they stay in while I'm running.

    If not then you can get funny shaped ones on a headband which fit inside your ears but they're long and thin instead of round.

    I have a pair exactly the same as those, they are ideal for running - but the sound quality is rubbish :(
    I think I've found the (affordable) solution:

    I don't know about the company though? anyone had any dealings with them?

    They look good though I've never dealt with the company.

    If you get them will you let us know what they're like as I need a new pair for the gym.....my old ones keep giving me electric shocks :eek:

    Ordered them on Monday night, received them today (Wed), they fit like a dream!! :D
    Sound quality's not great though :(

    Never mind, I suppose you can't win 'em all!

    I got some Koss "the plug" earphones from ebay for around 10 pounds. They are a similar idea to zacspeed's (like earplugs) and the sound quality is fairly good. The expanding foam of the plugs eventually gets tired but the set comes with replacements and I've heard you can modify and use ordinary travel earplugs as replacement earpieces.
    PS I've got wee ears too

    Thanks for that.

    I only need some for the gym to listen to the TV, so I'm not too bothered about the sound quality. I've been using Asda's £1.47 ones but the electric shocks are getting too much now :rolleyes:

    I shall hunt out some of those diddy ones that you've got icon14.gif
