Thanks so much, Hazel! I'll have a look and save my money for them!

Thanks for starting this thread! I have monstrous ears, but the cartilage inside is tiny and shaped weird, preventing me from getting anything inside that will stay.

Great suggestions!

I have the same problem and have just totally given up on in-ear buds. I have a pair like in the first post, with a band that is over the ears and around the neck, and they've been going strong for me for a while. They're not perfect, especially for running with sunglasses on (you wind up with two things over your ears), but the sound quality is decent. For anytime I want to use headphones but aren't running, I use wired headphones that go fully over the ears and have high sound quality, nicely padded cans and whatnot. I really want some pairs of wireless Beats or similar, but they are pricey.

This is actually a good point -- if you wear glasses, the AfterShokz don't work so great. A few years ago, they ran a Kickstarter campaign and produced a pair of sunglasses that had the bone conduction headphones on the ear piece, and I got a pair for my husband that he loves, but I don't think they ever offered them again.

Oh, that is a bummer since I wear glasses. Hmm.

Oh, that's a good point. I hadn't gotten AS due to the price, but I ALWAYS run with sunglasses on, and that would seem to be a problem.

The ones I mentioned don't super interfere with sunglasses or any other eyewear, but just be aware that you'll have two sets of stems on top of your ears.

I have small ears and these little hooks work great on my earbuds.

Actually after trying them for a while, those hooks on the earbuds did not work well when I was active walking or working out. They still fell out. So I found these and they are awesome....comfortable, good sound, good battery life, & they stay in place. I use them for audiobooks on my rebounder, for workouts, & to teach my Essentrics classes. The over ear hooks are a bit flexible and don’t bother my ears at all.

**OLD THREAD ALERT!**

I realized I never updated with what I ended up buying. On Christmas I ordered the Raycon Performer earbuds. I have been pretty happy with them. I still have to look in the mirror to get them in correctly, but once they're in right they haven't fallen out. I admit I haven't worn them as much as I expected bc I'm too lazy to take them to the bathroom to put them in, but they have gotten easier over time. I just need to stop being lazy! Two of my aunts use the Everyday earbuds and are really happy with them so I took the chance. They were less than $100. The sound is good as well. My only little issue is that they block out other sounds a little TOO well for me bc when I'm walking my very dog-reactive dog I need to be aware of whether any other dogs are near and with these in I can't always hear a dog early enough to avoid. Which also means when I'm running I can't always hear cars approaching. So just wanted to mention that in case it would be problematic for anyone.

Thanks again to all who responded!
