<p>This may sound strange but I can’t find a pair of ear buds that don’t hurt my ears. I think I must have a small ear canal. Anyone else have this problem and a suggestion for a pair that would fit? I’ve tried skull candy, the ones that came with my iphone and the ones provided by the airlines. I have an iphone with lots of music on it but can’t use it with the buds.</p>
<p>I can’t use the ones that come with an IPOD, but use the ones that are smaller that go more into your ear. There are some relatively unobtrusive ones that fit over your ear, if you’re looking for ones where you can still easily move around. I also had some that went behind my head, and fit over my ear. Even stores like Walmart have a good selection, although my D found some she loves at the campus bookstore!</p>
<p>I bought a replacement set of of the rubber tips when I lost mine and they came in several sizes. Maybe something like these would work for you. </p>

<p>Yes, Yes! Same problem here. Both my dd and I have small ear canals and the regular ear buds fall out of our ears if we move. I bought a set of Phillips ear buds at Best buy that came with 3 sizes of buds. One fits perfectly- kind of like being in a Goldilocks story. I got the same set on ebay for my dd for 99 cents! Go on ebay and look at the pictures.</p>
<p>My son bought a pair of Sennheiser earbuds from Amazon that came with several different sizes of buds. He has been very happy with them.</p>
<p>I like the gummys that are put out by JVC</p>
<p>I can’t wear the Ipod earbuds either. Are ears larger nowadays?</p>
<p>You have given me hope!! I have always envied those people that can walk around… even run around… with ear buds firmly stuck in their ears. I can’t even walk with the durn things - they fall out of my ears! No matter how hard I twist them and try to screw them into my ear, they still fall out! What I use are the ones that have hooks that hook over my ear. They work ok, but the music really sounds much better if the thing is stuck into your ear and not just hanging outside next to your ear. Oh, the only other thing that worked is in the winter I would put a headband on, and pull it down over my ears with the earbuds inside the headband, but oh boy does that look goofy! :D</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Even worse, I can’t even sit on an airplane and watch a movie without them falling out.</p>
<p>That being said, I just finally downloaded all my music onto my iPod a couple of weeks ago, but haven’t really used it yet, because I know the ear buds will fall out if I move. I’m flying on Saturday, and if I can get out tomorrow and try to buy some of the ones mentioned above, just might take the iPod.</p>
<p>Gee, not only did I get some great suggestions, but I found there are other people out there with the same problem! I’m going to look in Target for the suggested brands first, and I’ll let you know how I made out.</p>
<p>I’m so glad to know I’m not the only one . . . </p>
<p>I’ve been using ear phones that are attached to a headband thingie. Works great and also keeps my hair back as I exercise!</p>
<p>Klipsch. End of story. </p>
<p>The silicon tips of Klipsch ear buds are oval, just like your ears (and everyone else’s). They make five different sizes, "small, medium, and large single flange designs, as well as small and large double flange designs. These soft, flexible ear tips are light and narrow, making them almost impossible to feel inside your ears. " (Quote is from their web site.)</p>
<p>They make six different models of ear phones ranging in price from $79.99 to $349.99 MSRP.</p>
<p>I bought mine on line from Amazon when they were having sales before Christmas and paid significantly less than MSRP. Amazon is an authorized Klipsch dealer which was important to me because I bought one of the more expensive models and I wanted to make sure all warranties would be valid.</p>
<p>I’m tellin’ ya, this <em>will</em>solve your problem. (And you’ll love the sound.)</p>
<p>winchester, While your Klipsch ear buds look like da bomb, they are way out of my price range. I’ll be looking for them on sale though!</p>
<p>I went to Target and saw a few different brands that had multiple tips and ended up going with another skull candy one because I think I can just take the little tips and use them on perhaps my iphone buds - if I can find them! Until then, I am using them on the ones I just bought and they fit! Nice and small and non-painful. yay!</p>
<p>I agree they’re expensive, but try J and R Music World (jandr.com) Free shipping, so total cost is $79.99.</p>
<p>When I am gainfully employed again, I will investigate further.</p>
