Veteran 311 Irvine, California | Subject: RE: Ear buds <$30 that don't suck? Yurbuds are my favorite...they don't go all the way in your ear canal, hindering your hearing ability, and they NEVER come out of my ear on runs, workouts, etc. These are the ones I have: http://www.yurbuds.com/#/shop-now It's the $29.99 Yurbuds Focus. Oh and one more thing, there's no annoying thumps when the wires bounce up and down (I think this is called audiophonics, but not sure lol). My favorite headphones ever |

Because they are actually ear-shaped, not just "pretty" like Apple ear buds. And I know that thump sound...hate that too! |

Then they started to slip out of my ears. Tried every Sony, Panasonic, etc, they make. The only ones that work for me are the kind that hook over your ear and the bud sits inside your ear. There is no way they can fall off and you kind find them cheap. It doesn't matter what brand as long as the ear hook is comfy for you. |

Extreme Veteran 492 NW Arkansas | Subject: RE: Ear buds <$30 that don't suck? Looks like those are called enhancers. They aren't on yurbud's site, so they may be discontinued. Edited by RazorTri 2012-02-26 5:06 PM |

Have had mine for about a year and a half now and love them. Noticed them at Walmart today also offered in blue and white, price has come down from when I purchased mine as well. |

Expert 977 | Subject: RE: Ear buds <$30 that don't suck? Guess I'm a lucky one as I've just used the Ipod earbuds for 5 years. I never have an issue with them falling out. Sound is OK athough I am sure there are better out there but I have them low when training anyway. Good luck, Dune |

Regular 266 Ocala, FL | Subject: RE: Ear buds <$30 that don't suck? I had similar problems with ear buds. Couldn't find a pair that would stay in my ear. I went to the clip on style. They have an earpiece that holds them onto the ear. The only downside I've found is that they go the same place on my ear that my sunglasses do, but it's not uncomfortable for both of them to be there. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Sony+-+Clip-On+In-Ear+Stereo+Headphones+-+Black/5335657.p?id=1051826204520&skuId=5335657
These are the exact ones in my workout bag right now. |

Then I buy a new set. They stay in well and come with different size "plugs" that go in the ear. You pick the best fit. This^ I use skullcandy 'inked'.. They are like 15ish and last around a year plus.. These are the only buds that actually fit my head and fit well. |

| Extreme Veteran 561 Wauwatosa, WI | Subject: RE: Ear buds <$30 that don't suck? Thanks for the recommendations. I feel like I'd be more confident with the over-the-ear style...but agree about the sunglasses issue. I've worn sunglasses with a headband though, and that wasn't a problem...
