Does anyone have any solutions or a specific brand which will stay in without constantly needing to be pushed back in? Currently I'm using the standard Apple earphones. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

I used to have the same problem, until I switched to bluetooth headphones.
I use cheapo headphones when running. Finding in-ear earbuds that fit are a problem, though. I like to swap the earbuds off my beats headphones, I feel they fit great in my ear; they "seal" in the sound well and keep sweat out. _________________ Lakers. Built different.
I have a wired set and the wires do fray after about 2 years of hard use. So either get a warranty with your purchase, or buy a cheap set.
The areas that are most liable to fray on any in ear headset are right beneath the earbuds, beneath the built-in remote and around the T-section where the left and right earbuds join.
Good question. I can't even take my dog for a walk without them falling out. Heck, I've had phone convos laying down in bed, perfectly still, and they move around. So annoying. I've tried the Samsung earphones and the Apple ones.
The last time I had earphones, that stayed in, was back in the Walkman/Discman days when they had the foam tips.
I'm going to pick up those Bose earphones Gatekeeper recommended. See if they'll stay in my ears.

The apple earphones are generally the only ones that stay in my ears while running without interference. The ones that you insert into your ear are annoying, sweaty, and almost painful despite the better sound quality. And they always fallout no matter the size.
I use apple headphones, just the standard ones, but I bought these plastic clip on bits from my local gym that go over the top of the ear so they stay on. They were pretty cheap (like £5) and work pretty well, then you can just take them off of the headphones once done and put them back on next time you want to use them. _________________ Lakers, Chargers, Dodgers, Arsenal FC.
So far so good. The large ear plugs work well so far me. They haven't fallen out yet. Very comfortable. Sound is good, nice bass. Every other one I have tried kept falling out as I have large ear holes.

I went down to Best Buy yesterday and they had the Jaybird Freedoms marked down from $200 to $140, and the sales associate told me to get those over Bose. Not only were the reviews worse, but now that I look on Amazon, it turns out that they aren't really $200 to begin with...

I'll go for a run in a bit and see how they fare!
Ok, I lied. Didn't go for a run so I went for an easy 90 min hike/walk instead. A hike I have done probably 100 times, with my Samsung and Apple earphones always falling out and needing constant adjustments. Not to mention, because they were loose, I always had to put the volume way up.
I'm pleased with the Bose Soundsport wireless earphones! Thanks Gatekeeper.
Not once through the 90 mins hike did they fall out. Maybe twice, I adjusted the ear bud to re-form the tight seal in my ear but that's it. They werr comfortable throughout the hike and sound fantastic, almost like headphones that cover your ear.
The other thing I love about these is they stay in without a hook around your ear. I hate those because you take off.your shades to wipe sweat and putting your shadss back on moves the hook. But with these, I can take my sunglasses on and off, put them on my head, and no interferemce with the earphones since it only sits inside the ear.
Also I like they are wireless which means fully compatible with iOS and android and no wires getting bunched up or in the way.

Can you elaborate more on the comfort? Would they have fallen out had you not adjusted them or are they very secure? My #1 concern is them staying in. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
