I've yet to find earbuds that will stay in place when I pull my full face helmet on. Full face helmet riders: What are you using? Thanks!

I have the same problem. Earbuds generally fall out. However, I highly recommend the Etymotic MC5. These are better, in my opinion, even that noise-cancelling headsets. The only challenge is that they may be too soundproof for riding safely.

I avoid the iPod type designs. I have found Panasonic really good. Especially these.... http://www.panasonic.co.nz/products/accessories/headphones/rp-hje290guk/

I use earbuds that fit onto the ear. However I use this clamp on a half helmet. For a full helmet get the clamp with the speakers.

Best bet is to get a set of custom molded earbuds. Go to a good motorcycle show or MotoGP race and it's common to see companies like Fit-Ear there that will take molds and ship you custom buds (at a crazy level of pricing - some of them get really expensive - what you'll see singers using all the time). They act as both earplugs and earbuds and for riding they're really, really fantastic. I bought one set about 5 years ago that still work well but I decided to 'upgrade' and get a higher end model the next time I got a chance, increasing the number of drivers in each ear. It kills the wind noise and any music I listen to or communication with my passenger is crystal clear. Best bet is to get a set of custom molded earbuds.

I have the same clamp but with speakers you can mount in side your helmet it is about the same price

I had the same problem so I ordered a great sounding pair of earbuds called "chops" & they are sold by Skullcandy. They sound as good as Apple earbuds, but they stay in place. You can order them online from Skullcandy & they ship really fast. Also, they have a great warranty...

I don't ski or do anything which requires protective head gear. Sorry I can't help. i will say they do take up space between the scalp and the ear and again from the ear on the surface. I'd go with earbuds to be sure when using a helmet.

I'm in complete agreement with lack of durability. What I do now is use ordinary earbuds and Nexcare absolute waterproof tape to keep them in place. Works perfectly and I no longer search for the perfect runner's style headphones. Opens up choices anyway even if durability is still an issue.

I usually have the same problem, but these ones work great!! stay in my ears. even when I accidentally tug on the cord a bit, they usually stay in. My favorite headphones for running I ever have had!

Depends on how far in ear canal you feel comfortable putting them. I suppose it also depends on type and fit of your helmet. One of my helmets (full face) is rather snug around ears. I can wear mine under my helmet. Trick is putting them in and then sliding helmet on without pulling them out. Need to leave some slack in cord, sometimes kinda tricky and time consuming. They headphone itself measures 1" long with no tip. I use a soft tip (same as shown in pic) which adds an additional 1/4" to the length. Next thing to consider is the fact that other drivers don't see us and are always trying to run us down. Not hearing them because of the noise reduction of the headphones only adds to their arsenal. Hope this helps.

The stock earbuds stay pretty solidly in place come hell or high water. Also, I purchased the custom-fit earbuds Etymotic offers through Sonus. These will not come out of my ears even if I catch the cord and rip the headphone from the earbud the earbud itself will remain firmly in place.

Any way of getting say leather type ear pads for this head-set? Foam no matter how careful you are wears out fast, and this head-set hurts your ears and head once the foam padding begins to wear ....Thanks in advance. :)

I think once you find the correct ear tips they should stay in place quite well. The weight distribution of the headphones seems to be pretty good. I can't over emphasize how important to try each and every ear tip that is included. And there are a lot. That is the key to great fit, comfort and sound quality. I feel like I work for these guys! But I really don't. I paid for mine and I love them.

Per Racing Dan, below, I wear mine working out and one side sometimes cuts out when the sweat starts. But these are the only earbuds I've found that stay in my ears. The volume control works great.

I ended up returning these. They never could stay in my ears or on my head. Sorry I couldn't be more help. I purchased the Motorola S10 Bluetooth and those have worked great. When I run/sweat I've had no problems to date.

I wear my helmet with them in, but it is tight. I have been pulling the earphones out before taking the helmet off to because it is painful to do it the other way. I satisfied with the fit and not looking to buy another set that might be more of a flush fit.

On long rides I play music and hear it just fine. I do not use earbuds and play my music through the speaker. Actually I had to turn it down a few times because the other riders would comment on my music selection. (I tend to listen to hard rock & metal when I exercise.)

I can't keep them in long enough to know. Probably me but the buds are a PITA. I just use my big cumbersome headset. It doesn't fall out all the time.

I have not had any issues yet with that....they are well built, (per the usual with B&O;), and what I really like about them is they don't move when I work out, (I had some Bose earbuds prior that were supposed to stay put but they didn't). There is enough adjustability so you can have a secure, comfortable fit.

I also would like to know, my headphone pad is completly shredding...funny, the ear pads have lasted forever and they are available everywhere but I can't find anyone for the headband pad.....

The neck ones suck for exercising. They stay in your ears-but the neck band rubs against your clothes and you pick up the sound. It's really annoying. I found them unlistenable. I only tried them because I've been forced into wearing hats when I run (skin issues). Try the Sony MDR-AS35. I ordered a pair of Sennheiser (Adidas) PX 685i. They are over the head. Have not tried them yet (still using my Sony pair). The look like they may be great. Barr Hill

Now I'm really confused! According to the CNET review, this is an "over the ear" type of bluetooth headset. I don't think I can stand to have an earbud stuck in my ear. Nuts, and I was just about to buy the silly thing too! Any ideas out there for those of you who can't stand to have anything stuck in your ears?Help!Carol
