Hiya, :hello:
I'm looking for some ear phones that won't fall out when I'm "power walking" - aka trundling - around my local park.
I've tried loads of different sets and nothing will fit into my tiny little ears!
My son reckons you can get ear phones with squidgy ends for people with "stupidly small ears" like me but I can't seem to find any.
Anybody seen them anywhere?

I'm really sorry for a stupid reply, but if you got small ears, I WOULDNT consider the Sennheiser CX300's!! I bought them really cheap off ebay the other day (£8.98 instead of £29.99 RRP) but they wouldnt stay in! I tried the smaller pieces, which are better, but the things keep coming out all the time, and arent very comfy! The cable is like a sticky rubber which clings to clothes and doesnt help at in the keeping the buds from falling/being pulled out!!!
I know you asked for what to recommend, but I though by offering my advice, you'd at least know what to avoid! Its a step closer at least huh?! Maybe get some wrap arounds for power walking/jogging/running, the ones that clip over the ears, as this should stop them falling out!! I find that most in ear buds are too big for smaller ears!!
Hope this helps!!

Try these Sennheiser ones, I have them they are great and fit in small ears:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-Ear-Canal-Headphones-Black/dp/B000E6G9RI/ref=pd_bbs_2/026-9812014-5991614?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1194449060&sr=8-2 If you buy them from the new and used bit in amazon they are very cheap. Highly recommended.
Or try the Sony ones http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-MDR-EX71SLB-Fontopia-Headphones-Black/dp/B00008XYJL/ref=sr_1_11/026-9812014-5991614?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1194449200&sr=1-11 just as good.
Hope this helps. I had the same problem a few years ago.0 -
hi, i bought a pair last week from https://www.dealextreme.com they cost me a massive £2.02! and thats inc delivery! its an american site, and prices are in dollars but if you pay thru paypal it converts price into £ , they ship from hong kong i think (takes about 10days for delivery) but at that price im not fussed that its a bit slow!! i bought some nintendo ds styluses a few weeks agoand they are great for 2.74 (i think). cant fault the site at all

My shure headphones come with numerous different sizes of squidgy and non-squidgy covers.
You would need something like this

:T Thank you all very much you lovely lovely people!:T
It seems as if there's a lot more options for those of us with "stupidly small ears" than I thought!
I'm going to have a read and try and pick the pair that look the smallest and squidgiest!
Thanks ever so much for responding.
I really really appreciate it.
If I can get some tunes pounding in my ears maybe I'll be skipping round the park in future rather than trundling.
:eek:

I ride horses and can't afford to have headphones falling it, the stop start to put them back in breaks all forms of rhythm.
I use this kind, and find that the size of your ears isn't really relative as they are held on rather than squeezed in. However, when not riding I do prefer the in ear type!

My kids had assured me I was the only person with stupidly small ears so its really good to know i'm not. I have tried just about everything over the years, those that could be persuaded to stay in at all just made my ears incrediblly sore. I now swear by the over ear type, comfort over style, they never slip off and dont need constant pokes in order to keep them on!0

I'd recommend the shure's too. The one's baw31 recommended are great. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Shure-E2C-In-Ear-Headphones/dp/B0000CE1UO/ref=pd_sbs_ce_shvl_title_1/026-4088484-6941249 are the older version and very cheap now. Shure have an excellent range of foams for all ear sizes.0
