Earbuds that don't fall out. Do these exist?

[ShinyGreenApple]

So I've splurged my graduation gift money and gotten myself my first MP3 player. Because I'm determined to start my daily walk routine again, and I want to take David Bowie with me ;)

But the damned earbuds keep falling out on me, and I've already lost the foamy thing off one of them; they even fall out if I'm just lying in bed listening. Is there a certain design of the clip on variety that stays in well and won't bust my wallet? I hate the whole concept of sticking a speaker in my ear to begin with, so it's a little irksome that they won't even stay in.

On that note, does anyone else cringe when you see someone pull their earbud out and hand it to a friend, who then sticks it in their ear to hear a song? *shudder*

That might help, there are probably other varieties too. They go over your ear so there's a bit more stability to them, and probably causes less damage than constantly stuffing ear phones in very far.

I found a pair at Walmart. I believe they are called Gummies. I had the same problem, but these stay in very well. They also come in many bright,fun colors! $10!!

I love them! I got mine at Walgreens, of all places. Pretty hot pink color too! :)

I myself use these. However, I've found that really, any MP3 player is only good during walking, not jogging. I can't stand the cord bouncing around, front or back. These earbuds are great for your intent-walking. Any faster than that, I'm looking for a set of earbuds that have the MP3 built in (wireless basically) without spending a week's wages.

They are called headphones/headsets. That is all.

The doodad at the top takes some getting used to, but they don't fall out.

I'm inclined to agree, but I'm afraid of looking like a total dork walking around with my headphones on I have a set of Koss noise-canceling ones that I use on the computer and they're just heavenly.

Indeed I did, lol. On the 5th, actually. Done with the patient care assistant portion, now I'm working on the technician bit with EKG and phlebotomy classes over the summer.

The problem with wearing headphones/headsets when you're doing physical activity is sweat. They can get really hot and really gross... It's not an ideal situation.
