Any recommendations please, I need 'in ear' ear phones that STAY IN.

[quirkybee]

Hey folks

I have several sets of 'in ear' ear phones, those that were part of the mobile phone package and those that I purchased separately.

Yet all of them always seem to ooze out. I've even got the smallest ones too, but on my first ever run, they kept falling out 😕

Oh please can someone help? Thank you guys 😊

I wear a head/sweat band to hold my ear phones in; could that work for you?

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

I.. and a few of us have these.. they stay in... and I have very odd ears!

Ooh, good idea sweaty face and thank you Oldfloss,👍 I'll take a look at that link. I must have deformed ears or a deformed head, lol 😂😂

[Sweatyfaced Graduate in reply to quirkybee]

Apparently your ears are as unique as your fingerprints! So we all have interesting ears! 😁

[misswobble Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Same here. I hold mine in with a headband too. Well, a folded down buff actually.

I just use cheap poundland ones that go over the ears and in. I have better ones which I use for everything else but theyre useless on runs lol

[mrspatch Graduate]

jvc jogging ones do the job for me perfectly - they have an adjustable hook over top of ear - ebay has loads of them

[Gwibiwyr51 Graduate in reply to mrspatch]

I use those as well, really practicable.

[mrspatch Graduate]

Look at this on eBay ebay.co.uk/itm/272262204837

Thank you Mrs patch 👍

I agree Jvc sport have a sort of hook over the ear. Cheap from Asda. Good luck..

Thank you jo4t15 😊

I use the old school type in ear phones-any brand will do and they don't need to be expensive. The ear bud type won't stay in my ears if I'm sitting down let alone running!!!

[GoogleMe Graduate]

Bear in mind that what you need is earphones that will stay in when you are only using one of them.

[alpacagirl Graduate in reply to GoogleMe]

Well said - I only wear one as I run on a quiet country road with no pavement and need to hear cars coming. The one not being worn tends to drag the other one out - so I end up not bothering with music at all and running definitely feels easier with music. 😅

Thank you alpaca girl 😊

No earphones stay in my ears and I use these running earphones. Philips SHS4700/10 Mid range EarClip Headphones - Black (amazon.co.uk/d/Headphones-E... They have thin hooks that go over your ears like glasses. You can get some that still have in-ear pieces but these have small headphones about the size of a 50p piece and I find these are the most comfortable.

[slaweksam in reply to nikkiwabit]

I could never get any earphones to stay in so a couple of weeks ago Aldi had Bluetooth ones for 9.99. They were perfect you can still buy them online aldi.co.uk/maxtek-bluetooth...

[quirkybee Graduate in reply to slaweksam]

Thank you slaweksan, I'll have a look.

[quirkybee Graduate in reply to nikkiwabit]

Thank you nikkiwabit. 😊

I use "Betron MRJ1060 Bluetooth Headphones Earphones,Waterproof, Designed for Sports, Gym, Fitness, Secure Fit, Built in Mic (Black)" that I bought from Amazon. I use them for everything including some heavy duty gym workouts and they're fine. Good quality music/instructions still and stay in place 👍

[quirkybee Graduate in reply to Sarahwee]

Ooh thank you Sarah wee 👍

[Greylady1 Graduate]

I've got some JVC sports earphones with a little hook that sits inside your​ear. They cut out much more of the outside noise than I'm used to, but they don't fall out!

[quirkybee Graduate in reply to Greylady1]

Thank you Greylady1. I'll check those out 😊

[Laura-Beth]

I have the bose sport ones. They were super expensive (over £100) but I chose them before running, for the amazing sound quality and the fact they are so comfortable!! They have special "stay in" tips and they really don't budge. I always struggle with in ear ones. I've had them for a few years now and when my little cat chewed the wire... Bose replaced them for free ☺️.

Also - if you buy earphones from John Lewis they will actually accept returns even after you have used them. I bought a few pairs from there and took the other ones back that didn't fit/weren't good quality.

[quirkybee Graduate]

Thank you Laura-Beth for giving me your advice, appreciated 😊

[BecksC25K]

I bought TaoTronics Bluetooth 4.1. they stay in my VERY small ear canals and never budge. £21

[Mcdon Graduate]

I had terrible hassle finding ear plugs my ears are small and I couldn’t wear the over ear ones either they kept falling out. I got bone conduction ones for my birthday a bit pricey but perfect for me and you can hear traffic etc around you x

[Beth24 Graduate]

Hi, i picked some up in tkmaxx for £12.99, hypergear marathon. They have different ear buds so you just select the one that fits for you

[Hidden]

Oh God I feel your pain! I've had terrible problems finding ear phones that stay in - way before I started this programme - I thought I must have really weird ears. It's so frustrating when all you want to do is plug yourself in & get going. Not keep stopping/starting to fiddle around with headphones. I'm afraid I resorted to the really expensive Bose in ear ones. Persuaded husband on a short fuse to buy me some as an anniversary present a few years ago. Have to say they are well worth the price but the link oldfloss has sent you seems a much better option! I might have a look myself. My problem is my hair getting in my face. It's quite short & I do clip it back but then little bits escape & tickle my face - drives me mad! Hope you find something suitable.

[quirkybee Graduate]

Aww, thank you Hidden I'd forgotten about this thread. I'm still on the lookout too. I'm going to check them out. My hair is growing now and I sympathise with straying hair whilst running, I think I'd need lots of clips to keep it off my face too. Good luck and thanks x
