Do you have to use the ear buds or can the tube alone be used by inserted in ear canal?

The ear piece which is hard metal with a soft cushion on the end is firmly attached to the tube. It appears that there is some kind of additional electronic device inside that ear piece. You can see from the photo that the tube itself is very long which makes it difficult to keep the ear piece inside the ear if you are a short person.

Gina, the earbud is attached to the tube. You would have to cut the earbud off & then I doubt it would work.

The ear buds are absolutely necessary as they contain the speakers. The tube contains wires. These are large but they are very clear and a good value.they amplify as well as my $2000 ones did although they are more noticeable. Much easier to replace as the more expensive ones also wear out and are considered obsolete after 5 years or so.

They go in the ear, but it's not the same as bud. Because the clip is wrapped around your ear, the piece that goes in your ear is gently sitting in the ear, rather than dug in there.

Yep, just use the regular earbuds provided or your own pair of regular headphones.

As long as it's worn over the ear and you have the right size ear cushion, generally any ear bud will stay put. but not all ear buds can be worn over the ear, but, most of the Ultimate Ears ear buds can be. I wear my 500's over the ear all the time even though they aren't advertised to be worn like that, and they are quite comfortable when worn over the ear.

Earbud insertion is easy, but I find it depends on the earbuds themselves... I put my buds on first, then the helmet.. If you want to see if they will dangle or if your helmet will move the earbud, but a cheap pair of earbuds (if you don't already own the paid you want to use). Then put them on with your helmet. Hold up the 3.5mm connector portion of the headphones (the jack that goes into your mp3 device) to the side of your helmet (that will simulate your earbuds being connected to the device)

Well, it comes with three different size ear pieces, one of each so theoretically there are no so called extra ear buds. I have used mine for a while and have not had to replace the ear piece. In my experience ear pierced outlast headsets.

If you have at least 1/2 inch clearance right at your ear canal, It should be okay. Every ear canal is different, if these ear buds don't work, you can switch out your own earbuds, it uses the line in as the antenna so it might mess with the fm radio function, but you should definitely try it for yourself! I love to use them while I'm cleaning the church. Hope that answers your question!

The ear buds come with two differently sized tips that cover the ear buds. There was a noticeable difference in size between the two tips, but I still found neither would allow the ear buds to securely rest in my ears.

No sarcasm. For some reason they ship a complementary earbud holder. I also fail to see the connection but it is a nice little device to keep your earbuds from getting too tangled. Only flat ear buds will fit. Pot holders are great so I wouldn't let the earbud thing make or break the deal.

I would go with ear buds but if you want to try it. The ear cups will definitely move but if you don't mind that it can work.

Cristy Showers, I am unsure as to whether there are replacement buds. Did you not receive the extra 2 pair included with your original purchase? I have found that all the earbuds I have, no matter the brand, the earbud sleeves are interchangeable. I have had probably at lease 6-7 pair of all names & sizes. As long as the little speaker is near about the same size? You can use any kind. I am sure if you contact JVC they can give you more info. I never have them long enough to need replacement. I bought 3 pair of behind the head, over the ear, and ear cup styles now. I have tiny ears, and cannot stand buds anymore. If I were you, go up to a better pair of JVC that surround your ear, you will NOT believe how much better the sound is.

I use the elongated ear bud, which fits right in my ear. I am on my sixth Jabra (I somehow lose, shut in car door, etc.) and I have never experienced a problem. Do not try to twist it. Just put it on in position and insert into ear.

You don't have to use the ear buds. The recorder has a built-in speaker, but it's not very loud.

It is just like a typical ear bud you see with today's modern products. It is made of a rubber-like soft material. If you don't place it deep in the ear canal , there is potential for it to fall out especially with the cord dangling about. There is only one ear bud for one ear canal (mono-plug in device). The device is small enough to place in a shirt pocket.

You should not have to remove that ear canal piece. I have two pair of over the ear type aids; one waterproof for sports and another that is not. I keep one pair in the dryer when not being used; both pair overnight. Plenty of room in the unit. I've used this unit for a couple of months now. I bought 3 desiccant bricks last week for under $10 on ebay; good for another six months.

I have never had any issues with the buds falling out. If you use the supplied clip the buds stay in your ear better than without. Great sounding though, you will hear details that other earbuds don't deliver.

I'm sure some people have because the tubing is pre-cut to a specific length. In my case the tubing is just a tad too long so the body of the amplifier doesn't fit snugly behind the ear. However, the tubing cannot be shortened because tubing is permanently affixed to the part that you fit your ear plug on. For those folks who have long hair that covers the ear, from an ascetic viewpoint it, wouldn't matter too much. Hope this helps in answering your question.
