Ear pods popping out

11 Replies

More of my tech issues! I don’t really want to get new headphones- I just want them to stop popping out of my ears. Headband might be a solution but still like to hear what’s going on around me. Any suggestions for something light not too uncomfortable? It’s not to keep my ears warm exactly. Give suggestions if you have any before I cut off the tops of some pantyhose!

I found these lightweight Bluetooth head wraps to be really comfortable.

Are they wired? If so is easy to loop cable over your ears.

Did they come with different size inserts?

Hey thanks - after some Googling around I found a way to put them in upside down and reversed Left and Right - it works! At least for my atypical ear canals!

I just use a load of different yoga head wraps and pull them over my ears with Bluetooth speakers tucked inside.

I have headphones that wrap around the ear. So that works well and they are still low cost.

I have just got some bone conductor headphones they are so comfortable pop it on your list for Santa! Otherwise I just used to wear a head band to keep them in but like you I like to hear what’s going on around me especially now it’s getting dark!

Took me a while to find a pair I liked all the usual earbuds don't fit my ears properly and fall out. I now have a pair of defunc true music which fit nicely are comfortable, haven't fallen out yet and I can hear what is going on around me. Depending where you run they can be on the quieter side so not great for built up areas

Not sure if you're come across the earphones made to allow in just enough sound to allow for safety - ?

Yep air pods can let the sound in - so I’m good but I don’t play it too loud anyway

Not what you're looking for?
