Anyone else have trouble with ear buds staying in their ears? Specifically Apple. What's a good ear bud to solve this problem?

Apple has the worst ear buds ever. I have a pair of Beats. They are good, don't know if I would have purchased them myself, they were a gift.

I'm done buying expensive earbuds. I'm hard on them and go through 2-3 pair a year. I'm also sticking with Sony. I forget the actual model, but they in-ear ones with an inline mic/control for about $40. Good fit and great bang for the buck.

I use the same model, minus the mic/control. I found the mic control models break down much quicker than the non mic control ones. I can get them for less than 10 bucks on amazon.

Comparable to Apple, do they fit better?

The new Apple ones are ok, old ones are garbage IMO.

The Sony earbuds I was referring to. I have these and the non-mic ones as a backup.

I was all about Klipsch S4s for the last few years, but after going through 3 pair...I'm done. The model above has outlasted them.

Pretty good about NOT falling out?

No issues with that, but that all depends on the person. Not all earholes are the same brah!

I know. My ear buds are pretty loose. I've been ear fucked too many times.

It's like the difference between a 1000.00 "escort" and a 5.00 crack whore. They both get the job done, but you have bragging rights with the escort.

I don't dig ear buds. I like the headphones that cover your ears. I also refuse to pay 100 to 300 bucks for any kind of ear bud headphones. I found a pair of headphones at Big Lots for 8 bucks and they are pretty good.

I have a pair of these. I didn't pay that much for them.

I think they have different "varieties" for the S4, iOS, etc, but the only thing that changes on them is the little in-line remote thing.

If you shop around, they should be easy enough to find under $50.

Hope this helps.

I have a pair of Sony BT that I paid $100 for several years ago. They sound really good and fit very comfortably and never fall out. Battery life is good, too, probably close to 8 hours on a full charge.

It has a little clip-on base/receiver about the size of a AAA-battery, but no issues with that (other than the clip breaks easily, but I jury-rigged something just as good)

Yeah, I wonder how many people have trouble with earbuds because they refuse to find/change the right size nipple(?) on it?
