I have small ears as well, so I'm always using the smallest adapters available, and at times, some of them are too big. That said, these fit me well, when using the smallest adapters. You have to make sure you use the smallest "wheel", and the smallest actual headphone cover. Also, make sure to use the rubber headphone covers and opposed to the "felt" cover. This combination works perfect for my small ears. I can wear these easily for 5 hours without them becoming uncomfortable, but after that, you do start to feel them, but for me anyway, that's the case with all earphones.

Did you ever find one a bluetooth or headset that works? I am having a similar problem. My ears and canals are small, so nothing seems to stay on my ear. I was thinking about trying a bluetooth that has headphones that go over your head or behind your neck, have you tried this type? I agree that they need to make these child size as well!

I just read your comments and was wondering which product you were talking about. I also have a hard time finding a bluetooth or head phones that stay on my ears. I have almost completely given up on a bluetooth, but was considering trying one of the bluetooth headsets that go behind your neck or over your head? Any suggestions?

My problem with the earpiece is that it never feels secure in my ear -- if I walk with it in, it even falls out sometime. I have the smallest insert on the earpiece, but it doesn't help (note that I have the same problem with the standard iPod headphone) -- is there a solution for this?

My husband has told me these earphones are the most comfortable he has ever worn. The ear cups are oblong and the padded cushion rests gently on the outer ear so that the ear hole is not in any way impacted. He has experienced no ear hole pain and states that the sound quality is exceptional. I am very sensitive to earphones as are you and have found them to be comfortable when I have used them as well. I hope this is helpful.

Absolutely, I have small ears and have always had trouble with any bluetooth staying in my ear, it's amazing!!

Too loud? Just go by the directions and learn the "feel" when adjusting. I had to wear them for a while to get on to it. My large problem? The noise was there all the time but I couldn't hear it before.

I have gotten used to them and I can wear them for two to three hours without problem. For me, these headphones did not seem to be difficult to wear for two/three hours. I can wear them longer than I can tolerate the Bose Quiet Comfort 15 (which after a while tend to make my ears sweaty). But do keep in mind this is dependent on the individual, just because these headphones work for me it does not mean they will work for everyone. It is easy to forget that every person has a different head size, differently shaped ears, and perhaps many other subtle differences that are hard to see in a review. I admit that it is hard finding comfortable headphones; you kind of have to try them for a while and see if you accommodate/tolerate them. One thing I do know, if they do hurt your ears do look for something else. It doesn't matter if they sound good but you can't wear them, then they are no good to you. Sometimes it is worth to visit a real store and try many headphones and see if there is a pattern in terms of comfort and fit. But if I do visit a store, I feel compelled to buy from the store to remain fair to the fact that I use the store to test and try out the product.

They sit more than they go in the ear bud. Because of there plastic construction and not the flexible material that you can squish in your ear, they are not nearly as snug or tight as ear buds are. I find that I can position them to be more in my ear or have them sit at the ear opening depending on what I am doing. However, I do not find them uncomfortable for long stretches of time (i.e. 3+ hours).

I'm sure that this will vary from person to person but for me this is most comfortable I have ever had. I forget it's in my ear. Sometimes I go to sleep with it on, having forgotten I'm wearing it. Sometimes I look all over the house for it thinking I've lost it. It is definitely not irritating, and with proper placement doesn't fall out of my ear. Hope this helps. :)

Let me add this after reading other's reviews. They actually cover most of the ear and the very comfortable padding sit on parts of your ear to be exact. I apologize if I gave you wrong information. But to me it just lays on my upper and very little on my ear lobes. You do NOT need th try to stretch them out with a pillow. You want them snug, but not to tight. If too loose you will lose the Bass part of songs. Find a comfortable pillow and lay back and enjoy the music. Over time the material will get use to your head size. Hope that explains it in my opinion.

I use mine about a week or a little longer, but I have zero problems with ear infections or much earwax. After I first insert them, I can feel & hear the foam expanding. When I notice that the foam isn't expanding as vigorously as it did at first, I know they're not going to block noise as well, and it's time to replace with a new pair. Oddly, to me, it seems like one plug in the pair usually fails first; I guess I'd have expected they would both go about the same time. I strongly agree with those who say don't wash them; that was an accident that did not go well.

Yes. I have had a problem with every pair of ear buds I have ever bought, no matter how cheap or expensive. They always hurt my ears. These ear buds dont hurt my ears at all. I wear them a lot and they are very comfortable.

The traditional "bud earphones" do hurt my ears. The new style "in ears" do not. I have been using "in ears" for about eight years and I have had no problems, including these pink sports ones.

Mine completely surround my ears and I don't have tiny ears, also mine fit snug not overly tight , that said I've had some comfortability issues after an hour or so but are more comfortable than a more expensive pair of dewalts I own. Hope this helps.

Roberta...I've been using them for years; they are the best and very reasonable. I pull down on the earlobe with one hand, after squeezing one and then inserting it with the other hand. I hold the earlobe for 10 seconds to let the earplug expand. I then do the same thing with the other ear. Do not insert them too far in. However, they must be in far enough to work; you'll know as sound becomes greatly diminished.

These earphones do work only when they are inserted correctly. Unlike other bud-earphones, which can sit outside the ear canal, these ones have to be inserted because they don't have speakers and rely on an enclosed air chamber (between earphone and ear) to create the sounds. Tiny sound is a sure signal that you need to correct the insertion of these earphones. If you are new to ear canal phones, I'd suggest you start with the silicone buds, then, after you get used to them, use the foam buds--bass, isolation and overall sound will improve.

Unless you have small ears, these are ON ear. I don't have abnormally large ears, and they start to hurt after 30 minutes or so.

I have smaller ear canals (or so I'm told), and they are more comfortable than other ear plugs I've worn. I wear mine generally 8 hours a day at work with no pain, but I've never actually slept with them in.
